Legos + Jackson Pollock

  • Having logged an insane number of hours playing with Legos as a kid, I loved seeing this tutorial on how to create Lego Photoshop brushes. You can check out the tips on using the Photoshop brush engine, or you can jump directly to downloading the brushes. [Via]

  • JacksonPollock.org * offers a fun little drawing tool, good for biting the master's style. [Via] This kind of simple, playful tool makes me want to combine the innovation happening online with desktop creative tools. How can we make extending Photoshop as simple as creating a SWF? Hmm... (For other Flash drawing tools, see TYPEDRAWiNG and Click Three Points.)

* There's some controversy here, as these guys, ah, colorfully assert that the Pollock site rips off their work. (Heads-up via Jon Williams.)

Well, Stamen was the firm that originally designed/programmed splatter. Then, they put it out for free downloading as long as proper credit was given.
