Okay, almost everyone I know is sick, so obviously, I'm also sick. -blah-

Updates for new brush sets and image packs will be POSTPONED. Not my fault I'm sick. D=<

A.d.v.a.n.c.e.d P.h.o.t.o.S.h.o.p M.a.g.a.z.i.n.e F.e.a.t.u.r.e
Apparently, my brushes have been featured in the Advanced PhotoShop Magazine, issue #61. If anyone usually orders than magazine, and wouldn't mind scanning the papers featuring my brushes, I'll appreicate it... but make sure we're not voliating any copyright rules first. xD

I.m.a.g.e P.a.c.k U.p.l.o.a.d.s
I'm planning on reuploading ALL my brush sets, into a couple of huge zipped folders, containing image packs for those who do not own PhotoShop or own an older version. The file sizes of these downloads will be HUGE since I offer high resolution brushes, and .png files are naturally large. If I don't get around to uploading these within a week, someone please threaten to kill me. I haven't updated in forever... and I feel so bad. =[

U.p.d.a.t.e.s
New brush sets should be available within the next two weeks... depending on when inspiration comes. I tried opening PhotoShop to make new brushes, BUT I couldn't come up with anything original. I don't want to just upload brushes so similar to my previous brush sets that there is no point in even downloading them. Future brush sets will either come with .png files or I will gather all the .png files up and upload them separately. It just depends on the file size of the brush set I am uploading.

And for those who are wondering, YES I'm typing this in class... -shifty eyes- If I get caught, I blame this on the... cookie monster! Nah, the teacher-on-call won't say anything... will she? o_O

Y.o.u.r C.o.m.m.e.n.t.s
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for all the comments I've received, good and bad. Due to the lack of time on my hands, I have not been able to reply to every comment for a few months now. Know that I do read each and every one, even if I don't reply.

Secondly, I've received some not so good comments, and no, I'm not going to complain about them. Everyone has their opinion, and everyone is allowed to voice their views and their opinions out loud. I will NOT block or hide any comments people have posted, because I believe that viewers should be able to see different perspectives.

Y.o.u.r N.o.t.e.s
I read Notes first when I check my DA, because in my opinion, people send notes because they're confidential (other viewers can't see), and they're confidential because they're important. if you're sending me a link to your work, please leave a comment as opposed to a Note.

C.o.m.m.e.r.i.c.a.l U.s.e.s
If you want to use my brush sets commercially, the cost is $5.00CAN, which you pay ONCE to use a particular brush set. If you're interested, please send me a Note. I accept payments through Paypal only.

B.r.u.s.h I.d.e.a.s
Want a brush set similar to my style...? Tell me... cause right now... I'm CLUELESS. I don't know what brushes to make... I don't know what people want and what they need. =[

~linker123 has SOME NERVE.

Yes, I know I often complain about people stealing my brushes... but to steal my brushes... and POST THEM ON DA! Now, if that's not stupidity... I don't know what is. To make things worse... he used the same preview picture.

I don't know who else might be a victim, but some of the deviations looked quite familiar. I suggest NOT downloading anything from ~linker123 because I'm not sure anything he uploaded belongs to him.

Apparently, his main Deviant account is ~luanbest. I suggest not supporting this account either... stupid. idiotic. jerk.

My original deviation can be found [link] on my DAWN brushes. His deviation can be found [link] Anyone helping to post requests to have those brushes removed, or reporting him would be most appreciated.

I am BEYOND MAD at how stupid someone can be.

So you want to know everything about me...

Whoever reads this and is freakin' tired of all the sun!

Yep, you've probably heard this all before. My mom's b**ching. This time? About me being lazy and not doing anything. Well, let's get something straight.

1) She won't let me take summer school (to get ahead a grade) and said I needed a job.

2) She later complained that I didn't sign up for summer school because I was lazy and good for nothing.

3) Told me to get a job.

4) Complained that I couldn't get a job because of the recession.

5) When I finally got a job working for 2 weeks at Playland, she refused to sign the papers for me to open a bank account. AKA, I now have no job because refused to open me a bank account for the past month and a half.

6) I volunteer at my secondary school installing the brand new Dell computers, and she complains that I work to long there.

7) She is now currently complaining about me NOT showing up today and tomorrow because it's freaking HOT and I do NOT want to move/install computers. After all, I don't HAVE to, I'm only supposed to show up IF I feel like it.

8) She complains that I read too many ebooks on the computer.

9) She starts complaining how I started to game on the computer. She says that I should read more.

10) She yells at me for talking on MSN. She says that my friends talk too much. Just because I have the window open doesn't mean that we're talking EVERY SINGLE SECOND.

11) She looks at the library books on my desk and goes: "You aren't fooling anyone. We both know you aren't reading, so don't even pretend."

12) I start studying for my Learners (driver's license) and she goes: "You're too young to drive." (She's been nagging me to learn how to drive four years ago...)

13) SHE'S DRIVING ME FREAKIN' INSANE!
