Ok folks, the team over at Snapvillage.com has contacted me about a contest they are running and asked me to spread the word. They are giving away a Wacom CINTIQ 21UX. Yes, that’s right, a Wacom CINTIQ 21UX. That’s worth around $2000 US. There is no purchase necessary. All you have to do to win is click here and fill out the form, that’s it. Even better, you can go back everyday until the contest is over to re-enter and increase your chances of winning. Good luck to everyone, and thanks SnapVillage :)

I know I’ve been on a texture kick recently, but I’m hoping you all don’t mind. These are the textures I created in order to make my most recent set of Photoshop Brushes. I didn’t see a reason to let then collect dust on my hard drive, so I thought I’d share the source files. They look quite different in full color :) You can click on each image to view at Flickr, or download all in a zip at the bottom.

I’ve got another set of killer brushes for everyone. These are, as always, super large brushes. There are 10 in the set, and I also included a zip file with PNGs for non-Photoshop users. I’ll be releasing the actual textures themselves in another post soon. I made these from a combination of watercolor and india ink. Hope you put them to good use :) Preview and download after the jump.

I have to admit … These textures were really fun to make. I went to a little book store over the weekend that you can’t even find on Google Maps, bought a book that is about 50 yrs old, dissected it (literally), and scanned all the parts. It took a while, but I have a very cool free high resolution texture pack for everyone to download. There are 12 textures, all over 3000px. You can see them all individually on flickr by clicking on each image, or download all of them in a zip at the bottom.

This is an incredible free icon set I recently came across and I wanted to make sure no one misses it. While I’m at it, I’d like to apologize for the lack of activity lately. I’m slaving over a complete re-design of BittBox at the moment and I’m neck deep in code and bug fixes, not to mention icon surfing. (Oh, and when BBv4 launches, you can kiss that big Google ad at the top of each post goodbye :) Anyway, for the time being, head on over to the Function site for a killer free icon set. The set includes 128 48 x 48px icons, yummy!
