It’s easy to find fantastic textured folds, creases and edges when browsing in second-hand shops, and they really add to the aesthetic of a design. Now, you can easily add on the years to enhance the retro realism of your work – both design and illustrations – with this set of hyper-realistic brushes.
The screen-shots really capture the opportunities for impact these brushes offer; all of the borders, creases and folds plus the texture on the rocket, moon and rocket blast were created using the brushes.
Don’t just take my word on how great these brushes are. Here are what customers have said about them –
“These look absolutely amazing! Great job!”
“Thank you so much! These are great and I am excited to use them!”
“Great package, these are very cool!”

All of the below are included, making this a one-stop vintage toolkit:
- 15 Grunge Edge Brushes & 6 Short Grunge Edge Brushes.
Ideal for creating grunge frames and borders and are re-sizable so are a lot more flexible than the static equivalent. They are also really effective as grunge edging on illustrations and designs – just take a look at the rocket preview.
- 21 Fold and Crease Brushes.
Perfect for adding vintage creases and folds to designs.
- 6 BONUS Book Cloth Edge Brushes.
Just lovely texture – good for texture shading or for adding a retro edge to designs.
A version of the brushes with pressure sensitivity enabled is also included – perfect for those who use graphics tablets (Please note that this feature only works in Illustrator CS5+).
- A quick reference guide
This will help you find the right brushes for the task in hand quickly.
