I realise its been quiet here for a while. Its been a busy month of work and play, including a computer death/crash/meltdown which set me back quite a bit. New and gorgeous brush sets on the way. Meanwhile take a look at this video I recently worked on for the new book The Fame Formula by Mark Borkowski (its a very good read).

Apologies if i don’t answer any emails for the coming week. I’m heading off to work at Glastonbury festival today and won’t be back until Tuesday next week. Be assured that any questions and queries will be answered then!


Getting ready for Glastonbury festival – I’m VJing in The Rabbit Hole tent. Just finished these psychedelic loops today, and thought I’d chuck them up on here as a change from all the photoshop brushes! Shame about the terrible youtube quality, but…enjoy..

Photoshop pattern set. Includes different shades of handmade paper, and they tile seamlessly. The zip file also includes a tiling JPEG for those of you that don’t have photoshop. Ideal for using as a fill, and great when used in conjunction with my torn paper brush set. Personal use only please. For commercial use, read details below.

Try using this set as a pattern overlay in a layer style. Add a drop shadow, maybe a bevel, and save as a custom layer style. Great for digi-scrapping! See below for how to do it (click on image to enlarge)
