Brushes, Extentions and Textures, Oh My!

Despite the lacking title, I would consider myself a creative professional, or at least a creative dude. That being said, anyone with a box of crayons can tell you that it often seems a long journey from your vivid imagination to a blank canvas. Like waking up from a wicked cool dream, it takes a few minutes to completely loose your original idea. Others, though, are able to hold onto their masterwork of a vision for months, but still have trouble with hand-brain coordination--turning smooth circles and fiery reds into the motor left and right.

Between this, that and being just plain lazy, I would argue for the importance of at least a gig of specialized brushes and diverse textures. To have a beautiful forest composed entirely of someone else's trees isn't much in the way of a profound accomplishment, but having a good splatter brush for small bullet wounds or bird poop could add the right seasoning to the steak--or salad, for our San Fransisco audience.

Bla bla bla, just get to the free stuff, right?
Well, if you're going to act like that, then no toys for you.
Meh, ok, but just a few, like these ones:

free Photoshop brushes
stock vector graphics
and a couple goodies from Adobe themselves.

Simply for testing purposes, I want to see how well one could leach off the popularity of others. I feel that the same brand of peoples that spend their time googleing the alt text of a few very scientific case studies on modern man would be same the same few people interested in the topics I often write about and wares I have to offer humanity.

As you might notice, however, this blog is a little more empty then my bank account, with little more to offer then a blind game designer: Hope.
That being said, this blog on the whole is little more then a placeholder, originally started to take advantage of Blogger's Open ID prevideingness, and (as what Leo Laporte would call "a joiner") I signed up for blogger because I didn't already have an account.

My main blog is at http://Linkz57.podzone.net which you might notice is lacking many of the more popular aspects of most sites; namely a page. This blog was/is self hosted, and after my computer completely fried, I've never gotten around to replacing it.

Till then, I'm over here and, maybe, here at Blogger.


Thanks for sitting through a simple but shameless self-plug, and out of shear curiosity, I'll see if I can keep this page updated with the number of hits from "3frenchhens2turtledoves1cup".

Talk at ya later,
