Paint Shop Pro Brushes


Oh the agony, the horror. Posting this is going to be a traumatizing experience. In fact, it’s going to scar me for life. So I’m going to insert a quick disclaimer here.

Disclaimer: I, Toni Zova, in no way thinkg Paint Pro should be used by any professional in the design industry. I also never have, and never will use Paint Shop Pro in my life, so don’t judge!

Alright, now that I’ve gotten all that out of the way, let’s get right down to what this post is really about. Paint Shop Pro…Yeah. Truth is, so many people still use Paint Shop today and I’ve had friends admit they still use Paint Shop to this day (Yes, they remained friends after that despicable confession.) Anyway, they all feel weird, because there’s very little quality resources online for Paint Shop users, so I decided to oblige. (i’m going to hell after this post, not that I wasn’t before, now it’s a first class ticket, damn it…)

Below is a collection of some of the webs, dare i say, best paint shop brushes….enjoy?

IE Sluts


Hi, I just feel like ranting for a bit, mainly at you IEB’s (Internet Exploring bastards)…you know, those of you using IE right now. So ok, if you’re browsing my site using IE, you might not be getting the best user experience ever. Honestly, it’s not going to get any better anytime soon, see, you make my life miserable, you make the lives of many designers miserable. While we as developers/designers try, time and time again to get you sons of cows to see straight, it just never works. Here’s the deal, we can’t spend extra hours tweaking sites to suit your Internet Explorer Browsing ShitStink Ways. OK?

If you’re still reading this, and you’re an IE user, you’re an asshole and your browser is an asshole, your parents were most likely assholes and there’s not much I can say about your future family. If you’re ever able to reproduce you IE using scum bag, I hope to god they don’t get the IE gene from you, otherwise they’re doomed to assholism, like you.

So look, I’m going to be honest: I don’t like you, yes you, IE user, fucking twat shitlicker. BUT…big but here, we can see eye to eye with a little work, so listen up. I need you to boot up your stinking Toshiba ShitBook© that probably weight like 65 pounds, and I know that as an IE user it is mandatory that you eat your meals butt naked right off your monitor so clean that off and hose down your screen, download FireFox, delete Internet Explorer from your computer, grab the keyboard and bash yourself repeatedly in the face, install and run FireFox. You’re one step closer to becoming my friend, you’re not there, God you’re not even close, but you’re one step closer now, well done.
