  1. Hi, I am thankful for the free downloads of brushes you have..I have downloaded some of it though and a specific one I have been trying to search through other sites is the frangipani(plumeria) floral brush or in custom shape..Let alone creating one of this which is far from my knowledge and as a beginner working on photoshop with great downloads from your site is superb..Keep up the good work and hopefully with more of floral brushes free downloads..CIAO

  7. Hi I just want to say that I REALLY APPRECIATE all the free stuff you made here for everyone, and as well as the tutorials you have offered here. Currently using Photoshop CS2, you made it look so easy to use Adobe Illustrator. Now I want to go out and buy Illustrator!!!

    Can’t wait to tell everyone about you!!!

  8. Not to mention apit that you didn’t leave your real email address!

    Brave. Nuff said.

  9. apit, this brush is FREE… what do you want?
    I have “product section”, so you don’t have to go there if you don’t want to.
    Don’t be ungrateful, this makes me sad and unwilling to create anything for free.
