I want to share a very useful tip with all of you who have ever wanted to throw your computer across the room because of Photoshop for one reason or another. It’s inevitable, every once in a blue moon, software can just make your day a living hell for no obvious reason. It can be anything from the Layers palette won’t show up, to menu items grayed out when they shouldn’t be. I want to show you a quick way to put your problems behind you without having to re-install Photoshop.

Alright everyone, I’ve just finished up a new font I’ve been working on for your downloading pleasure! My inspiration for this font came from Sideshow, by Harold’s fonts. I hand drew every character on paper before tweaking them on screen. The font contains A through Z and 0 through 9. In case you’re wondering what ‘fusty’ is, it means “Old fashioned in attitude or style.” It was a fun font to make, and I hope you all put it to good use :)

This is a quick Illustrator tip, but in my opinion, a priceless one if its new to you.
