I have to admit, I’m a font junkie, and I’m eternally grateful for all of those hard working fontsmiths out there continuously blessing us with free fonts to feed on.

I didn’t know what exactly to call them, but I’ve seen these shapes appear in many places across the design world. I’m calling them “teardrop foliage.” I think they are cool shapes, and they are relatively simple shapes, so they are very versatile and can be used in many different ways. I spent some time putting together a free set of Illustrator brushes to help you create these shapes quickly and easily in Illustrator. If you don’t use illustrator, I have EPS and SVG source files for you to download. Enjoy the brushes!

I have another set of High-Res Photoshop Brushes fresh out of the oven for everyone. I was contacted a few days ago by Dominik Lenk over at SquawkDesign.com and he offered up some High Res scans of his for me to convert to brushes. (Thanks Dominik) I have made the brush sets available, and you can head over to SquawkDesign for the source files (jpegs) if you need them. Enjoy the brushes, and don’t forget to post your creations at the BittBox User Showcase on Flickr, if you want to strut your stuff and/or get a little feedback!
