Yes, you guessed! This post is about Cats and Photoshop brushes.
You see, somehow it happened that I have not one, but three cats. It’s a long story. It was supposed to be only one, but, well, what can I say. After a while a friend of mine had to find a home for one of her kittens, then a neighbor’s kitten decided to deliver in our garage … not once but twice … I managed to find a home for all of them, but one of them just stayed with us for too long. So, that’s three!
Anyways, In this post I wanted to share with you some of the photos of my cats and, at the same time, I wanted to make a little demonstration of what Photoshop brushes can do, so that once again, you can see how handy Photoshop brushes can be when it comes to decorating (and creating) your graphics whether it be for your commercial or non-commercial use.
Well, ladies and gentleman, here we go
Photoshop brushes and cats…
They will calm you down when you’re stressed out … I can guarantee you that …
they will examine and go through all of your Photoshop books :)
As you noticed, the graphics above are not just plain photos, these are decorated photos which makes them graphics and these graphics have been decorated with Photoshop brushes.
In the above images I used Photoshop brushes from GBG Platinum membership free download area:
- Photoshop brushes – Valentine’s Day Hearts (6+6+6)
- Special Mini Pack: Bracket Photo Masks (abr, png, eps)*
some of them were from Gold and Platinum membership free area:

Oh, and one last thing. Cats. Even when they’re asleep, they can make you smile :)

Weekend is over… but hey! Don’t be sad – it’s still Summer! Enjoy it!
Today, I gladly present you “Bellissima Photographic Artistry”, my friend Robin is one of the owners of the site. She’s an engineer, but don’t let this misguide you! Oh, no! She has an eye for beauty, perfect sense of timing in photography and she’s open to experiments. Both, in photography and in graphic design. Great job!
I met her during my first blogging days, about a year ago and I’ve been following her work ever since. In fact, I did some 10 sets of illustrations for “Bellissima Photographic Artistry” albums (wedding, newborns…).
So, while in between browsing my Photoshop brushes and checking out my latest Vector set, take some time and visit her website, enjoy her breathtaking images of brides and grooms, weddings, newborns and proud parents.
