Well. They’re finally here. The free acrylic PS brushes I mentioned the other day. I had a blast putting these together so I hope you will enjoy using them.
Here’s the deal. These are absolutely free for personal or commercial use, though I would greatly appreciate it if you gave me credit for these brushes by refrencing this post and/or http://www.theshoreways.com.
You can download the .abr file here.
Here’s how they look as thumbs in PS.
Special thanks to Ryan Collman for helping me out with some of the technical aspects and just being a big help during the process.
Here’s what he created using the brushes. (another good example of what they’re capable of)

Also, if you’re interested in other great free photoshop brushes please check out the following:
fudgegraphics and Bittbox
If your interested send me a couple of images you create using these brushes and I will compile them in a “user showcase” in a few weeks.
These are completely free, though donations are much appreciated.

As others commented above, beautiful work: thank you.
Re megaupload, I’d recommend MediaFire instead… *much* better / less annoying

Thanks for the great brushes! Only thing is - now I have to explain why I had $#%@*& pictures of pretty young women on my monitor. Got a spare couch?

Good Lord that was the worst download site EVER - I’ve never used megaupload before and I hope I never have to again.
Nice brushes though.

Hey guys, my deepest apologies about megaupload. I had never used it before (should have done a bit more research). I switched the host to mediafire, thank Oliver for the suggestion. Thanks for the great feedback.
If anyone has the means to host this file off their server feel free to contact me.

It looks like an awesome set! Downloading right now! (almost 48Mb. Woow that’s a huge file!)
If you’re interested I created and posted in my blog what I call a set of “Artistic Brushes” (Freeware too)
Cheers!

Dear Jeff, My name is Jessica Henry, and I would just like to say that I love your brushes. I work for NACCAP(North American Coalition for Christian Admission Professionals) this summer as a graphic design intern. I found your brushes via bittbox and my boss and I have decided to use them in our member services & directory.
I will definitely make sure to include your name and site so that everyone knows that those designs are yours! Is there an e-mail that I can send you the final pieces to?
Thank you so much and God Bless.
