PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES

Vector Foliage Swirls Photoshop Brushes From Stephanie

March 21, 2008

Here's Stephanie with her latest free Photoshop brush set, Vector Foliage Swirls, and some news about her new CD:

I’ve had a few requests for a compilation CD, that has every one of my brush sets available on it. Well, I’ve decided to go ahead and do it.

You can now order an Obsidian Dawn Brushes CD, which will have every single brush set that I’ve ever made on it (including some of those made exclusively for other websites!).

They’re $10, which covers the price of shipping, gas to drive to the USPS, and a bit extra for my time. A very reasonable price, I thought, though! (That $10 is ONLY for US addresses, btw... but I have a link to my email, where you can send me your address if you live overseas and I’ll get you a quote for how much it’ll be, as well.)

St. Patrick's Day Photoshop Brushes-Free

St. Patrick's Day Photoshop Brushes

From Stephanie-March 05, 2008.

Interestingly, St. Patrick's Day has been moved from its usual March 17th spot this year to March 15th. "Uh... wha?", right? Well, the Vatican approved it last year, and it was done to avoid conflict with "Holy Week" this year. This marks the first time the date has been changed since 1940. The next conflict with Holy Week is not expected until 2160.

This set is mostly made up of shamrocks and clovers, including both three and four leaf clovers (for luck!). Some are scattered, some are textured, some glittery, others are sporting some pretty Celtic designs, and there's even a few swirls with shamrock designs thrown in! Also included are a leprechaun, a pot of gold, and the letters "St. Patrick's Day" spelled in clovers.

Olympus today announces the extremely portable E-420 - perfect for everyone who wants to step up to the power and performance of a digital SLR (single lens reflex) yet enjoy the ease of use and ability to compose images on the LCD common to point-and-shoot cameras.

Weighing a mere 380 grams (13.4 ounces), the E-420 is 20 to 40 percent lighter than competing DSLRs. Good things come in this small package, including Live View, which enables users to hold the camera away from their faces and interact with their subjects - ideal when capturing photos of children, for example.
