Searching For Clues


So sorry for the unavoidable absence, it seems bad luck has dealt me another blow.  Recently my external hard drive containing at least 80% of my artwork and texture collections, let alone other resources like brush collections, works in the making and my music collection was lost.  My old hard drive was showing signs of concern, you know, the obnoxious grinding noises and intermittent peek-a-boo contents, so I purchased a new hard drive (Western Digital USB 3.0) and transferred content from the old hard drive to the new, which was so painful and slow due to the rapidly aging of the old HD.  Two days later it seems my new (Western Digital USB 3.0) died on me, locked up and won't even open, and yes it seems I've lost years of work and color in my hair, not to mention an arsenal of verbal expletives in the process.

Starting over SUCKS, but unfortunately it has to be done, so, with another new hard drive (fingers crossed) and cloud storage, I've been spending all my free time downloading and storing what I have loaded at various places all over the web.  I'm really starting to believe in the old saying,"if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" very strongly.  Enough ranting from me, just thought I'd let you know I'm still breathing and hopefully I can take some time away from disc recovery this weekend and spend some positive time to put something new together to post.  Hope to see you soon and may you and yours have a wonderful weekend.  

Peace

Assorted Brush Pack

Assorted-Brush-Pack-banner
I apologize for being absent of late, feeling a bit melancholy, collectively due to Blogger and the intermittent widgets, my shit being posted without my consent at various sites for download, not to mention these "insert foul mouthed expletive here" are making money stealing my work.  So I took some time off to tend to my lawn and garden hopefully to re-group and mend my Karma.

Assorted Brush Pack contains 26 assorted brushes aimed at those who delve into photo-manipulating.  The brushes were made in Photoshop 7, so they should be compatible with PS 7 and newer, also they should work in all versions of Photoshop Elements.  If you find they're not compatible in your program, please be so kind to let me know so I can pass it on.  As always, have fun.  Oh, I'll try to post a new texture set later on today, heads up.

  Peace

Blogger's at it again!






























Anybody else experiencing intermittent widgets that work when they feel damn good
and well?   Seems my recent comments have been AWOL for a few days, and the
same thing happens to my friends and members widget, also my page view counter.

Is this becoming a norm with Blogger, or is it sunspots, the heat, or maybe the ever
present swamp gas of UFO fame?   Anywho ................ it's getting to be really
annoying, big time.

** FIXED & WORKING, FOR NOW **

Photo Tints Overlay Set

Banner
Photo Tints Overlay Set contains eleven differently colored overlay tints and one frame (PNG), each overlay measures 2600 X 2000 pixels in size.

The tints are meant to alter your photos and give them a colored somewhat vintage feel, and the white frame (PNG) is meant to give the outer perimeters a soft white transparent feel.  Don't be afraid to use more than one overlay per image, actually it's best to use two or more to give color and contrast to your images.   Hope these can be of some small use to you.    Peace
