Downloads Aplenty
Hiya folks, long time no tutorial!!
I offer you all a buttload of fonts, some stock images, and a cool brush set to accompany the ass-kicking tutorials I'm posting next. I apologize for neglecting this community, so I figured I'd come up with something very cool as penance, and I hope they're both insightful and inspiring - they certainly were for me. I know I'm taking the easy way out by posting images from a book, but hey - one day when I get the freetime I'll go back to the old way.
These two tutorials are really interesting, they are my tribute to graffiti artists and to my most favorite, the one known as Banksy. If you don't know who I'm talking about, read this post I made about him yesterday and all will be clear. Then go here and you can download the MP3 that was on the prank CD - I went to great lengths to get it. It might serve as a bit of background inspiration, you never know.
Behind the cuts are the downloads, yank any of the fonts you like and probably get all of the images as well. You'll need to download and install the brush set for the tutorial, so remember that one. To install a brush set, download and unzip it, then move the brush (.abr) file to My Computer > C:Drive > Program Files > Adobe > Photoshop > Presets > Brushes before you run Photoshop, because that's the only way you can install brush sets. Installing fonts is similar, the directory is located in My Computer > C:Drive > Windows > Fonts, just unzip the font files and move them to that folder - they'll be installed automatically.

The fonts above are nice graffiti style writing, you can find more free graffiti style fonts at Dafont.com.
Dingbats
Dingbats can make very nice brushsets, just make sure you resize them at least 200PX or higher. They also make nice Custom Shapes for the Shapes tool. The sets above are nice for graffiti style artwork.
