Six cool Bokeh backgrounds for use in artwork for sale at Zazzle, Cafepress, Printfection or other PODs.

What IS Bokeh? According to Wikipedia:

In photography, bokeh (Originally?bo?k?/, /?bo?ke?/ boh-kay, and also sometimes heard as /?bo?k?/ boh-k?, Japanese: [boke]) is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.” Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—”good” and “bad” bokeh, respectively.  Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.

Offering you an old fashioned vintage frame with torn edges and felt corners, with or without the cracked overlay- also 2 versions of the cracked overlay separate – great for use with Wedding/Anniversary invites!

Also with this install , offering another floral brush kit- made a bit smaller at the request of some artists who wish for quicker downloads.  I will be making smaller zip files so they don’t take so long to download.

I wanted to let you know I play with gradients and shading  for the coloring of these brushes to get various effects, ALSO if you choose the flower layer and hold the Ctrl button  it will select just that part of the image and you can repaint without worry of going out of the lines (Just in case you didn’t already know that)

Ok, so I’m starting this new blog in order to offer my fellow artist friends hi res digital design resources that can be used in commercial projects free of charge. Why? Because times are tough economically and it’s nice to find new photoshop or illustrator brushes, textures, patterns and backgrounds that can be used in your artwork for POD shops such as Zazzle and Cafepress,  and for digital scrapbookers without having to buy a license.
