Fantastic compilation of brushes, have been looking for you wouldn’t believe how long to find some good brushes to assist in making avatars and signatures for my forum members, and to have a play with myself.
I look forward to opening up the gimp when I have them all installed and having a good old bash at making some better designs
Thank you.
This is so cool! I’m just a beginner
Thank you for this great post!

Very handy… Gimpage makes me smile. Thanks for posting.
¡fantástico! muchas gracias… me será útil en mi comienzo con el GIMP.
Would you consider posting video tutorials detailing how you accomplished the above in free formats?
I am recommending your web site for the “Link of the Week” nomination for the gimp brushes and plugins articles at the http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org — this weeks has already been nominated, but hopefully next week you can grab the spotlight.
@Ed wiget: Thanks for the nomination.
Awesome! That’s about all I have to say. Thanks for the great list.
hell i’m still confused but, OwO ..*,[ GIMP BRUSHES SUPAH ROCKS ],*..
Hey there.
I have just started using gimp amd don’t really no what to do. I have downloaded some brushes wich went to a zip file. How do i make them saty in my toolbox tab thingy…
There not there?
Im sorry i have read ur tutorial and really just dont understand how to activated them
I have never really used zip files either….
So was just wondering if maybe yuu could explain it a bit more simpler for the dumb ppl lyk me who dont get it…LOL?
Or maybe do you npo were i can find a video tutorial on how to do it…
Any help would be great,
Sorry to be a hassel….
samantha, all you have to do is get to the actuall brushes and copy paste into your gimp folder. to do this u may want to search for your simp folders. then you paste them into the brushes folder.
hope this helps!

I didn’t realize how amazing GIMP can be. I am excited to try a brush. This is all new to me!
FINALLY! amazing brushes now i can make better designs. THANK YOU!
Lovely variety of brushes in all, however this particular page has brushes of similar styles, might I suggest putting many different varieties here instead?
Plus your tutorial, although simple is a little hard to follow, as I am definately not a computer whizz and can’t seem to find any of the documents needed to downloads the brushes.
So although I have saved them to my computer, they are unusable at the moment, and I am sad to say I have had to delete many due to the fact they take up so much memory and can’t be used.
I think a step-by-step would be nicer, plus directions ons where to go. It would help a lot. Good Luck, and I love some of the brushes people have made (:
Thanks!!! Help alot~~
i am wondering what kind of brushes would u use if u want to make a avitar like meez or imvu?
Thank you!
Great compilation!
thanx a lot!!!!
this make my day, i was just looking for this..
from teh caribena.. THANX!!!!!

Thanks a lot!
I so love GIMP (and Ubuntu:)! And fiding these brushes on the net helps me in creating more vectors and vexels:)
Hey I’m having a hard time. i have windows vista. and it sucks. any chance i could get some help?
It keeps saying:
“C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Temp\SS-grunge-swirls-3.zip could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.”
These are just the brushes I’ve been looking for for a few things I’m working on. Thanks!
