I’ve got another High Resolution Set of Brushes for everyone! I call them “Romantic Disasters,” but you can call them whatever you like. My last set of brushes, Destroyed Heraldry was pretty popular among the comments that came in, so I decided to do a similar set with a different theme, not to mention we just saw Valentine’s day come and go.

I’ve compiled a list of beautiful, inspiring astronomy images that all have a Public Domain License.
