Free4U – Basic Paper Photoshop Brushes

October 8, 2009

Alright. My blog posts have been either negatively focused and/or so spread out that I want to give away something I’ve been using for years. Three very basic paper photoshop brushes.

Sursly Photoshop Brush 1

I made these simply by crumpling up some boring office paper and scanning them. That’s it.

Sursly Photoshop Brush 2

and…

Sursly Photoshop Brush 3

So enjoy. All I ask (which is included as a text file in this ZIP file) is that by downloading this ZIP you agree to credit me if you’re going to distribute it anywhere.

Oh, and if you make something beautiful, or horrible, leave a comment pointing me to the example, or email it.

    Hi Tyler!

    Sorry to post this here – I tried to send you an email but there seems to be some issue with your email server’s configuration? Here’s the error I’m getting:

    —– Transcript of session follows —–
    … Deferred: Name server: mailstore1.secureserver.net.: host name lookup failure
    Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
    Will keep trying until message is 5 days old

    Is there a better way I could contact you? Or is this my screwup?

    (P.S. the brushes rock, you should use a Creative Commons license for them!)

    Thanks,
    ~m

Photos ∞

If I'm not parenting or working, I'm probably taking pictures of people. Some of my non-people photography is available to license on Getty Images while many others are available with a Creative Commons license on Flickr.

Vimeos ∞

I also have a YouTube account you can check out.

Blackout ∞

When I launched the previous version of sursly.com I designed it based on this font that I created.

Lickety Split ∞

My most recent typeface! It originated as crayon on index cards and is beautifully sloppy.

Ostrich Sans ∞

An open source font family that I created and happily share over at The League of Moveable Type.

Guilder ∞

An elegant condensed typeface in several styles (and featured as headings in this current site design).

Dribbble ∞

there are so many people out there making incredible things. I don't contribute as often as I'd like because I'm busy packing lunches for a six year old.

A Little Background

I specialize in web, logo and font design (& brand development) in Ithaca, New York. I have freelanced since 2003, when I received a BFA in Film, Photography, and Visual Arts. I spent over one year as a designer for Sharktooth Creative (lots of Flash and print design), then nearly three years with the wonderful AWP, a year and a half as a designer at Ithaca College, and a year with Singlebrook. I take photos of interesting people and places.

I've raised a healthy son. We have fun. I make music. I run races. I take little vacations. I survived a month long trip to India. And I recently began eating meat again for the first time in 6 years.
