Had to get a post out there for 2 websites that have been promoting the photoshops brushes. First some recognition goes out to http://psd.tutsplus.com for not only hitting me up as one of their inspirational brush designers, http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/inspiration/20-sources-of-inspiration-from-coffee-ink-blood-and-other-stains/ but they also came up with one hell of a tutorial that featured the coffee stains brush. You can check that one out right here: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/how-to-create-a-grunge-style-illustration-with-stains/

I also wanted to give some shout outs to another design studio that has named 3 of my photoshop brushes one of their 101 Incredible and Useful Photoshop Brush Sets. 3 Roads Media has a really good list of 101 photoshop brushes they have posted that every designer should check out.

I’ve finally got the computer set up in the basement again, so look ahead for the photoshop brushes website coming soon. There’s going to be a shi-ton of free as well as for purchase materials on this site, so keep an eye out. Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on the brushes and keep using them people. It’s great to see all the kick ass work coming from so many designers out there.

Today I needed to work on a flash file for a job and realized that in the past I had installed a demo of Flash CS3 on my Macintosh. I grabbed my install disks and began to install the licensed version. While I was installing I saw that the installer said, Flash CS3 already installed. I figured when I entered my serials, I would be able to register the Flash CS3 demo with my license. Imagine my anger when I came to the point to launch Flash it still said demo period was over and I could not open CS3 to work on my files.

I was not privy to the uninstaller for Flash CS3 and drug everything to the trash and tried to install again with my disks. I launched the installer and now I could not install Flash as it said already installed. I did some research online and found that you need to uninstall from the uninstaller or the demo.dmg that was downloaded. Since I have trashed both I had no other solution but Adobe’s help site. Since Adobe has killed all the demos for download of CS3 as they have released CS4, you cannot download an installer of Flash CS3 demo to uninstall a stupid demo. Now I’m confused and even more pissed off…. For all of you out there, there is hope. Go to this page on Adobe’s site and download maccs3clean:

Once again, you need Mac Cs3 clean, maccs3clean, CS3 clean. Hopefully Google will crawl through that so those of you out there can uninstall CS3 demo software, get rid of CS3, kill CS3 Flash Demo, uninstall Flash CS3 demo. This script does a good job of killing all those hidden files you cannot find and makes it easy to use your install disks as they should. I had to post this as it took me 2 hours to find the maccs3clean script and it was New Years Day, their help lines were all closed and their website was not helpful at all. Once again Google and a forum somewhere found the answer for me.

Looking for some screw heads, bolts and nuts? This is your photoshop brush. Dug through the tool box this weekend and scanned a few of the things laying on the bottom.

Posting some new brushes here as well as on Brusheezy.com. A coffee stain brush and an ink splats brush. Both your typical brush, but they are high res and have been very useful for almost everything I have been working on lately.

this set of 22 brushes and satisfy your love.

All these brushes were made at u4eadesign,

All I can say is it’s about time we get Hot For Teacher! And how can we complain about 2 Hendrix tracks, 3 Tool tracks and Dream Theater’s Pull Me Under! I know 3 guys who took a 5 hour car ride with me in college who would be able to play that thing back to back. I basically made them listen to Images and Words the WHOLE TIME… BOTH WAYS! These guys are still my friends today, which is pretty scary considering 10 hours of Dream Theater could probably encourage any normal person to push a razor blade deep into their wrist.
