I’m too lazy to actually turn this Photoshop file into a theme, but feel free. This theme is good for your conspiracy theory, Bush never served, Kerry is a traitor type sites out there.

I created these hibiscus brushes to use with my Sister’s site which I wanted to give an old worn-out hawaiian feel. To see how the brushes can be used, check out her site.

**Update - a new version of this brush is available.

Here’s my inaugural style pack. There are only 4 so far that I have taken from some of my previous designs. These styles are simply layer effects that can be applied to anything, not just text. Load this file from your “styles” pallete, select the layer that contains the element you want to style, then click on the desired style on the palette. Simple as that! Click the image to enlarge, click the filename below to download.

The following thumbnails are part of a brush set that includes 17 abstract car brushes that were derived from photos I took at a car show. I’ll leave it up to you to find creative uses for them.

Attached to this post you will find a brush for Photoshop 7 that I created out of some photos I took because of their unique texture. You can see samples of the brushes by clicking on each of the thumbnails below. FYI I will soon be posting a tutorial on the really simple process of creating a photoshop brush out of your own photos.

I think I made like a buck 50 an hour on this blog I just finished for my Sister when it was all said and done. But that was my own fault. I would have done it for free anyhow because it gave me a chance to let loose with a grungy look that I hadn’t done on a large scale like this before. We went for the whole worn-out Hawaiian beach effect and I think it ended up looking pretty good. Many times throughout the process I had to go put the toilet seat up & scratch myself in discreet places just to remind myself that I’m not a thirty year-old lady from Hawaii. Ultimately, the risk to my manhood by designing such a “sensitive” piece was well worth it.

Come to think of it, it’s sort of lame just posting and saying, “Hey, I will be posting these tutorials soon!” But I just built this template and I need to start testing the functonality so back off. I’m going to start my batch of tutorials with the few techniques that I use most frequently, they are as follows:

Creating a perfectly smooth vector shape or signature (such as in my logo) using a thick sharpie marker, and scanner

Eyepopping glossy effects
