Subtle Patterns

Source of seamless, subtle patterns for backgrounds or textures. Free for personal and commercial use without attribution.

Correction: Not all of them are perfectly seamless, so beware!

Addition: WOW THESE ARE PRETTY AWESOME. I just found around 5 different patterns perfect for other projects besides the one I needed it for now.

New Essential Illustration Brushes V3 Extended!
Hey guys, recompiled a new version of my default brush set. Click the link above or wherever to download them from DeviantART. Here’s some copy/pasted info:
Version 3! What’s New?
- This is now an extended version of the older V2 set, (from 1.8MB now to 32MB,) containing the brushes I use often in my day to day Photoshop drawing and painting.- Things to note: a few brushes have been removed because I never used them due to their rather uselessness. The “Knife” brushes in particular have been removed, and replaced by “Broad Tip 1 & 2” under the Flats Set.- A fantastic painting set “Triangle Brushes” by Joshua Jones has been added to the Painting section, and I’ve been using these on almost everything since I found them.- Also new are a bunch of sponge / spatter brushes I’ve been using often as texture bases to painting. Useful!- The Chalk brushes are also a pretty essential part of Photoshop in general, so I’ve added a section just for them.

Seeing as how I use this guy’s brushes almost regularly, this is AWESOME. Triangle ones should be interesting…

jQuery Vertical Slideshow

Guess who just found the solution to a problem before I even started working on trying to create one myself! WHOOOOOO!

Now to figure out how to install it! <—-never used jQuery before

This is gonna make one awesome gallery though. B) I had originally intended on building one in Flash Catalyst. This is MUCH better! AND it’s free to use!
