Valentastic Valentine
I commissioned some folks at Blacksuits Creative Departika to help out on some designs for this Valentine set of Photoshop Brushes, PNGs, EPS, and Illustrator vector art. There is quite a mix of ideas here. Thanks to Katie Canada, Dan Spencer, and Erik Rothrock for helping me put these together. Would have had them up earlier but my hosting company decided to shut down my site for a few days because my traffic was maxing out the CPU on their shared server. :)
Photoshop Brushes
There are 15 Brushes in this set. The brushes work with Photoshop CS and above. Anything before CS will require using the PNG files below. Buy this set for $11.99.
Vector/EPS
The original vector files for this set are available for $9.99. You must have vector editing software (such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand) to edit this file. Included in this download is an AI, and an EPS file compatible with Adobe Illustrator version 8 and above. Preview of the Vector files.
PNGs
For those of you using earlier versions of Photoshop or other editing software I offer a nicely zipped file of all 15 PNG files from this set. Buy this set for $11.99

Looks like another great set… I saw these before they were finished and the vectors offer way more than you can see from that little demo version.
A must have. Great work guys!

Yes the PNG and the Brushes file became corrupt when I moved hosts. I replaced the files with non-corrupted files. Everything should be fine now. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey Jason,
I’m a huge fan of your work, inspiring designs. I’m trying out your affiliate program to sell the vector brushes on my site. Check out my site if you want and see if it’s all kosher. Should I have a terms of use link somewhere?
Keep up the awesome work,
Sharon

Hi there, your brushes are really great. I downloaded the Japanese ones and when I tried to load the brush in my adobe photoshop 7 it said that it is not compatible with version 7. Or maybe I did something wrong.
13/03/2007 at 1:11 pm Permalink
Dude, please email me at your earliest convenience. I have a usage question and I can’t find your contact info. Thanks! – Jen Showalter

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Valentastic Valentine, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
22/08/2007 at 12:25 am Permalink
Thank you so much for offering alternatives for those of us who have earlier versions of photoshop. I have Photoshop 6.0 (Ancient, I know ^_^), and I miss out on a lot of the free brushes the web has to offer.
Alas, I can’t afford the new CS2 quite yet. -But now I at least have some nice new elements to put in my projects. Thanks again.
30/08/2007 at 4:15 am Permalink
Your brushes are the nicest ones I’ve seen online and I’ve done quite a few searches. I’m just starting to learn photoshop mainly for scrapbooking. Looking forward to using your art for my art :-).
thanks a lot.
03/09/2007 at 7:23 pm Permalink
Jason –
I understand that we can use your brushes on personal projects (our own websites/blogs), but can we use your brushes on commercial work (e.g. paid website designs, music CDs, business cards, logos, letter heads, etc.)?
18/09/2007 at 4:17 am Permalink
Thank you for these brushes. They are very beatiful.
Can I use them for my web designs?
