Summer Sails

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
~Albert Einstein

Awhile ago I went to a community art show and was a little bit offended to see that one of the featured pieces was a (childlike) painting of a sailboat. At the time I decided it wasn't really art; however, here I am, years later, still thinking about that one simple painting. As it turns out, the "art that wasn't" has had a subtle, yet significant impact on my creative psyche. So in honor of that unknown artist (oh how I wish I would have kept his business card!) I made these "sailboat" brushes over the weekend. The brushes are free to use in your personal and commercial projects. Please see the readme file for more info. Download Summer Sails here.

I used some of your free brushes from brusheezy on a free calendar I made. You can find the file to download here, if you want to see what I did with it: http://www.threadbanger.com/post/10933/recycled-cd-case-into-desk-calendar

Years later, but I liked your story. Wish you to do the same to others memory. Actually, I've seen some of your patterns in action and I'm glad I found the original stuff here. Thanks and good fortune!
