MAXINE GADD

I have just discovered the wonderful artwork of Maxine Gadd and thought I'd share one of her illustrations with you. She is a graphic designer and illustrator based in Australia who creates stunning fantasy characters using Photoshop.

I had been looking everywhere for some web-friendly Marie Antoinette artwork to use with my Pretty Princess Marie Kit and was delighted when I found this beautiful Cinderella tube by Maxine.

You can find the image I used in this piece HERE. Everything else is from my Pretty Princess Marie Kit. The silhoutte in the background is a stamp that comes with the kit that you can use as a brush, clipping mask or simply recolor the png to match your artwork. The glitter wings and tiara are flourishes that come with the kit and are not part of the tube.

Pretty Princess Marie comes in Full and Tagger Size and is available HERE

AMY BROWN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Look what I found...Amy Brown Fairy Costumes! So with Halloween nearly here I just had to tell you about it. The costumes are based on her hugely popular paintings and are new for 2008. What a fantastic idea! There are 6 in the collection and they are available HERE.
Here are 3 of my favorite ones:

Faerytude

Gargoyle

Woodland Fairy
I love using Amy's fairies on my tags and so do members of my Creative Team. If you would like to use Amy Brown's images for tags or other web art you can buy them HERE
Here are a few tags that Trese and I have made using Amy's artwork and my scrap kits:
