Every now and then I get lucky when I’m out looking for crap to waste money on. A few years back I dropped a couple bucks on some old books that just looked cool. I don’t know why I bought them. Maybe I was an interior decorator at heart and subconsciously knew these would go great with my future antique curtains and wall treatments…

Well anyway, as luck would have it they turned out making great Photoshop Brushes. I had a little photo session today to get them all archived. If anyone wants color originals of these files let me know.

I was bored so I took a few shots of my jacked up landscapeless backyard. Looks like the serengeti out there. Anyway, a dried up lifeless backyard makes for some good textures. Click the image above to view a sample and the filename below to download.

I added some concrete block brushes to the collection I already posted of the grungy brick wall a few months back. This is just a more complete collection now. Enjoy. Click on the image to enlarge and the filename below to download.

Due to popular demand I’ve created a 2nd hibiscus Photoshop brush. This brush includes many different flavors and styles not seen in my first version. Let me just say as a disclaimer that I did not create the base hibiscus images, I just added a couple grungy touches here or there and converted them to brush form. Please do not use these for commercial purposes. Thanks.

UPDATE: I now have a Photoshop 7 version of this brush for those of you who don’t have CS quite yet. You can click the link below to download.

Little somethin for my late 80’s early 90’s peeps out there. Mario Brothers 3 was the all time greatest game for the NES. What better way to carry on the Mario legacy than to pass it on in Photoshop Brush form? The image in this post includes every brush in this set. From jumping Mario, standing Mario, walls, turtles, etc…. It’s all there. Enjoy.
