Here are my Painter brushes. I'll write up something proper later. Those of you that don't mind lack of documentation: http://bit.ly/fz8wan

I used those brushes for these pieces among many others:

I recommend the set for, if no other reason, the pencil tool I made which I love:

I never tried painter so far. I wonder what it's like, and what sort of work to use it for?
How does it compare to photoshop, for instance? I typically use only one brush in photoshop, all the different brush variations just feel fussy to me.

oh man I'd forgotten how much I love all your work, really cool stuff. One thing though, how did you get those random, almost brush-spattered textures on that piece with the skull? I love that effect

I use one or two brushes in Painter, largely. The paper textures and brush blending in Painter is worth investigating and are far advanced beyond Photoshop.

well rodrigo considering the fact he only subbed 5 times and one of his prints is not even one of his subs I think thats pretty damn good :) but I agree the world needs more Frenden Threadless tees

I do - it's great for sketching. I spent the last year and a half working traditionally and now Painter is one of the few apps I can stand to use. Much more analogous to real materials.

I don't sub a lot here 'cause my work isn't very tee friendly, I think.



(Starting rough local colors in Painter with the bundled brushes.)

All about me

Ray Frenden is a self-taught illustrator with a penchant for monsters and the macabre.

Drawing from a childhood weaned on horror comics, detective novels, trashy films, and retro sci-fi, his brush and ink work hearkens to an older era.

That juxtaposition of old sensibilities for crafting line and a footing in current color and design trends make Ray’s work unique.
