I know. It sounds a bit like bragging but, believe me, once you see them, you’ll most probably think the same. And here is why.
These are the brushes I announced week ago. It took almost a month to complete them! And here is a short description of the work involved to get them done:
- These were first drawn by hand on Wacom tablet.
- These images were then manually traced and re-drawn in in Adobe Illustrator (there is no such tracing software that can replace good old manual work)
- Then were they converted to HiRes (2400px) Photoshop brushes
- To be presented to you :)
I receive many emails where you praise the quality of my brushes. Thank you. This quality, becomes especially obvious when you zoom in and check the shape edges. They’re fine, smooth edges. Thank you for your emails, these come as a reassurance that I am on the right course even if it takes so much time to produce them. And the procedure above explains how much work is involved. Especially all of you who use vector programs like Adobe Illustrator, you can understand how much work and effort does it take to make such a complex shape, not to mention 16 of them. But still, converting them to vectors and then exporting them is the only way to get real high quality brushes.
And why is this high resolution so important? It is too important when you need to use them on large images, on images that will be printed, or even on small images with a big brush shape or images that will contain just a part of the brush shape. Generally, it is too important when you want your work to look decent.
OK. I guess, by now, it’s quite clear that I am proud of this new set. I am proud and I am happy that I finally finished them. So, here they are. Full shapes (16) and elements (104) that you can use to create your own shapes.
As usual, there is one lite edition which is freeeee!!! :)

I got this idea – to make a redesign of Google’s check using my Photoshop brushes. I thought it would be cool to receive my next Google check in this new design, four actually, one for each season. First one is called “winter edition”:
No, I do not earn any significant money from Google! It’s really something like $100 in three months. Not nearly enough to pay for my hosting service… :( (which I have to change, and I have to do it fast because they are unfair). Now, let’s see spring check edition:
As you can see, here I used green colors. Bankers like green. I wonder way? :P Now let’s look the summer check edition:
It’s hot, just like the summer! And if you are receiving any check for them the amount should be hot too… Then we have autumn edition, in brown tones:
That’s all for now. Maybe someday someone important in Google will stumble upon this site, discover these great designs and contact me. Who knows?
In order to redesign Google check I used my:
Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set (37) and Floral DUO Photoshop Brushes set (62) – both available for Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5!
Have fun! I wish you a happy and joyful weekend!

Hello everyone!
I know, I’ve been away for, probably, too long. This is like, only the second post in 2009. Snow is pretty high here, streets are frozen but your graphics-illustrations.com team is on the heat. And for a reason. We are preparing something AWESOME for you guys! All we need from at this stage is a little patience.
What we are preparing for you guys is probably the most complex brushes set ever published on this blog (and there has been like probably a hundred of them so far). But, those new ones are something special. I mean, if those were simple, straight-forward brushes, they’d be completed and published a long time ago. But not these ones.
So, together with Poofitzah (see below) we are working hard to get you the brand new, Finest Floral Swirls Photoshop brushes set.
We know that will be around 16 brushes in this new set, every brush will be 2400 pixels (almost maximum) and all of them will be more complex than any other brush so far.
In this post I bring you a taste of this new set that will to be published by the end of this month.
[ DOWNLOAD THIS PHOTOSHOP BRUSH - Floral ]
So, this one is free and it comes with a commercial license for all of you who make money creating scrap books, wedding invitations, photo albums and all kind of designs. You will agree that we are talking about real complex brush here. That is why it is taking so long to produce the whole set of 16 + over 100 elements. But, don’t worry, once it’s out (by 26th of January) the price of the full set will be the same as usual: $9.99.
Oh, and one more thing (important!): many of you ask about compatibility with Photoshop CS4! All Photoshop brushes in graphics-illustrations.com shop are compatible with Photoshop 7.0 and upwards: you can use them in CS, CS2, CS3 and of course in new CS4 version. Every new software version supports older version of plug-ins or similar. In Adobe case, every new version of Photoshop supports brushes down to Photosop 7.0. So, no worries for you lucky Photoshop CS4 owners.
Do I need to remind you of my sooper-dooper (I came up with it) deal on the 800+ PS brushes MEGA SET? You can get 24 PREMIUM PRO Photoshop brushes Sets (800+ HiRes PRO brushes with commercial license) for 1/2 the price NOW!!! (see all the brushes here) ->
And to make this offer a REAL GOOD DEAL here is what’s in the package:
- You will get 25th set (40 more brushes): Photo Corners Photoshop Brushes set (20+20) for FREE!
- You will also get an extra promo gift that comes with it: Scrapbook kit Grunge Love!
- And aside from these 800+ brushes … you will get the special 50% discount coupon code that will be valid for ALL OTHER PS Brushes sets that I ever made (Including the FLORAL ones that are in production now). How about that?!?!
- OK. I have some more happy surprises for the buyers of the 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA Set, but if I tell you about it now, then there would be no happy surprise, now, would it :))
Love you all guys, and don’t feel bad about the economy and stuff, use your imagination, many of my buyers started are real good businesses with my brushes (it wouldn’t be fair if I told you about them, but I’m kinda confident about your imagination. Also, please refer to some of my previous posts about business opportunities that open up when you buy HiRes PS brushes with commercial license).
Don’t forget, where there is a will there is a way!

Holiday greetings season is behind us. Many of you probably still remember the times when our mailboxes (I mean the real, metal or wooden ones) used to be filled in with postcards. In my opinion, no eCard can match a good old fashioned postcard. It’s just that good old piece of paper and handwriting that adds a special human touch that no electronic mail can have.
So, thanks to Gordeee, impressive but mysterious artist, we can now show you some really really cool postcards. His current theme is Paris :). Some of the graphical elements he used are Grunge Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes (free download after joining GBG)
These are really beautiful! Great work Gordeee and thank you for sharing it with us!
And now, since we’re talking about cards, I just couldn’t help mentioning one New Year postcard (old fashioned one) we got from my cousin Davor Vrankic and his wife Silva (yes it’s similar to my name but it’s not the same :)). This one was drawn by Davor himself! (find out more about Davor Vrankic who is a great painter – artist ->) … also, I already wrote about him and his success in the world of art here ->)
So, here’s the unique Holiday postcard from my cousin:
I bet you like it! He’s good isn’t he :)
I just can’t think of a better way to show a sign of appreciation other than do something with your own hands. I know, Davor is a real talent, but that is not the point here. The point is to take some time and dedicate it to someone by creating something with your own hands. That is the point.
Thank you Gordee and thank you Davor for your great works!
Yours,
Silvia
P.S.
Just before the end of the year I dispatched the last 2008 Green Bulb Gang eZine.
It was a compilation I called:
The best of free Green Bulb Gang downloads (Photoshop brushes); 2008.
It contained a link to one Green Bulb Gang web page that contained a number of links for best free Green Bulb Gang free Photoshop brushes of 2008.
These were only available to Green Bulb Gang members.
But, then on it turned out that the web page with download links did not work when accessed with Safari browser from Mac platform. I’ve got no clue why. I am so sorry guys!
I already sent emails with workaround instructions to all of you who reported that. (The workaround was: Firefox.)
I would test it before dispatching but I could not because I still did not save enough to get that Mac.
So, if you want to help me out AND get yourself a Collection of 800+ Photoshop brushes with Commercial license included (and we all know WHAT THAT MEANS :) ), please feel free to visit the 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA pack page -> and check it out for yourself! (These are not free, but they’re worth every cent AND they come with a lifetime 1/2 price warranty!)
P.P.S.
If you are interested in the link to 2008 Best of Free Photoshop brushes Compilation page – it is not just for Green Bulb Gang members but also for all MEGA Package owners (although most of them are GBG members anyway :))
