It has been a long while since I've logged into this account.  Since then a lot of things have changed, starting with my now defunct website.  I am redoing my "terms" for my brushes, so please, read on as many of you might like what I have to say.

Originally, I had a huge terms page of what could or could not be done with my brushes. It's been years now and while I still want to protect my work, I don't think I need to do it in the same way anymore.


ABOUT THE BRUSHES
--------------------------------------
Early brush sets were created using Paint Shop Pro 8 and Photoshop 7.  There are no existing "stamps" of these brushes, please do not request them.  Any future brushes created will be created for Paint Shop Pro 9 and Photoshop CS2.



TERMS OF USE

1. All resources are linkware.  If you use them in your deviant art piece, please credit this account.  

2. All resources can be used for commercial purposes as long as the resource is credited.

3. Resources offered here may not be redistributed or put on another site for download.

4. Resources are available to everyone, not just Deviantart members. I thought that would be clear but I guess it isn't.

    New sets will be created using Paint Shop Pro 9 and Photoshop CS2.

    I use my own photography, digital drawings, manipulations, parts of freeware fonts, public domain art and my experiments with Corel Painter. Basically anything that I can get my hands on.

4. Can you teach me how to make brushes?

    As much as I enjoy helping out the public, my answer to this will have to be no. I just don't have the time. I can though direct you to a great site if you're wanting to learn the art of brush making. You can find it here V brush.

5. I wish to sell a layout in which I used your brushes. Can I?

   Sure. Knock yourself out. Just make sure to credit this account.

6. Your brushes do not work with my version of (photoshop/paint shop pro), can you send me the stamps to these images instead?

    No. I do not make those files avalible, please do not ask.

7. Can I use these brushes in Paint Shop Pro 9 or Photoshop CS (8)?
