Brusheezy is a site for sharing Photoshop brushes and other resources. Since I've used other people's brushes in the past, I decided to make a set to share with the community. I have made many, many brushes in the past for my own use, but it was difficult to come up with images that I would be happy to donate to the public domain. I wanted a set that would be useful, unique and interesting.
Luckily, my collection of Japanese TV monsters saved the day (again). I just knew they would turn out to be a good investment.
Here is the preview:
You can download this first set of 10 brushes from Brusheezy here.
Our work is going to be on display, beautifully framed and mounted, for two weeks here in Vancouver. Very exciting! Little Mountain Gallery is where we had our first Thirty Days Show in July 2006.
This is what I mean when I say I live here. I cut this out from the rest, made this neighbourhood what it is.
Cut paper.
The printer ink often scraped off the paper when making the cuts. Then the glue played havoc with the finish on the paper.
If anyone else would like to give it a try, here is the PDF with two pages of shapes to cut out. You will need a printer, a very sharp, small-bladed cutting tool, glue and patience. The only condition is that you MUST post pics of your efforts, please!
These metal pedestrians are so familiar that they disappear like people. Lined up for a bus that never comes. I can still read Luxmii when I close my eyes.
Pen, ink. The original was dominated centrally by the big green tree, but I used too small a brush and made such a dog's breakfast of it that I hacked the whole image down to this horizontal strip in order to focus on the details.
Three new cars went by in silence, round and white like clouds with purple bottoms. Everything was new once. Value is lost and found while we aren’t looking.
Just a moment. Step in here. Who is it? We need spinach. I told him. She knows. What was that? Where to? Excuse me. Park here. Let’s get a coffee. All these movements, moments, flowing, frozen.
We used to buy cut flowers here. Now it is a gallery. Now it is a record shop. The building stands, a man moves a ladder, and the details change again. The lights change, the cars change. We remember, we forget.
Drawn on the last page of the beautiful leather sketchbooks given to us at the Aegean Center. I wish I knew the name of this plant (and had brought back some seeds). They were all over the island of Paros and had wonderful textures. There are similar plants here in BC but they don't grow as tall nor as thick.
Quick sketch on our last night in Rome. The next morning we flew to Athens and then to Paros to begin the studio portion of our semester at the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts.
