							I am absolutely in love with this pack! I am a felt embroidery artist and recently got procreate hoping to turn my hoop designs into cards and stickers. Before I found this pack I was sad about my hoops losing their charm but now they can keep all their felted and stitched whimsy. I can’t thank you enough for all the work you put into this I have no idea how you perfectly replicated fabric and stitch textures, it honestly feels like magic. I still have a lot to learn to use it properly but the instructions help a lot!

							My goodness, this is such fun! I bought these brushes for designing some neon wall art and my goodness, does it live up to the real thing! You can see that Jeremy has taken the time and care to re-create the ends of the neon strips in detail. They look so realistic and there is a good selection to choose from. I highly recommend these brushes, and having purchased numerous kits now, I am certain that every Artifex Forge product has been painstakingly produced to the highest quality.

Thank you! ...and again, thank you for producing this for Affinity Designer!

							Another great example for Artifex’s finely tuned work. Really enjoyed my previous purchases here (some of them were purchased just to figure out how he managed to create such things!) And now This too shall enter my design teaching keynotes as great example for brushed use.

Pixel Perfect - 8-bit Tool Kit - Illustrator

							Comprehensive Paper Craft Collection is a treasure trove for designing. The colour sets are very beautiful: brights, neutrals, pastels, and metallics. The collection pairs perfectly with Artifex Forge brushes such as the "Neon" brush set to work "magic! and Spirograph brushes to spark imaginative styling. So much to choose from. Delightful! Thanks ArtifexForge!

Artifex Forge Maker of Brushes, Textures and Tool kits for Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Affinity & Procreate

Made by a Maker

In Latin, Artifex means ‘an artist, builder or maker of things’ — and together with the idea of a forge as a workshop, that’s exactly what this place is. A studio for creating practical, functional, and beautiful design tools.

I’m Jeremy Child, a former senior designer, illustrator, and paper engineer in the children’s book world, where I learned how much character and craft go into every tiny detail on the page. That tactile, hands-on approach is at the heart of Artifex Forge, which I started in 2014 to create digital brushes, textures, and toolkits that feel like real materials in a real sketchbook—tools that help you keep the soul and subtle imperfections of traditional art in your digital work.
