Not to long ago, Adobe released a free app for the iPhone called Photoshop.com Mobile. It’s obviously and image editor, but it’s usefulness comes from tying directly into your Photoshop.com account. The app is limited to some basic editing features, but I must say, it’s quite nice for a first try.

If there’s one good thing that can come from living in the middle of nowhere, it’s the fact that we have lots of old and decrepit buildings around…ripe with awesome textures.

I gotten a few emails recently about how to create a seamless diagonal pattern in Illy, so here we go! Illustrator comes with some default pattern brushes, but no diagonal love.

Let’s get started.
