So this week, i would like to share with you 1000+ high-Resolution GIMP brushes that will be perfect for any project you may happen to be working on. Also you will find some useful tutorial to teach you how to create your first GIMP brush-set and how to convert Photoshop brushes into GIMP brushes and more.

    Wow! This many! And for free, thanks! Screw Photoshop! :D

  2. Sweet, although I’m still a photoshop guy :)

  3. Danno says:

    Impressive list as usual. I’ll spend hours just working the header image on my site and although I love the GIMP project — and think it’s a fantastic alternative to Photoshop — I personally found it quite unintuitive to use as a beginner. Maybe it’s because my brain space already well populated with the way Adobe does things.

  4. FBrushes says:

    I think GIMP will rock in the near future! :D

  5. Freddywang says:

    Wow, nice collection. Some are available in Photoshop as well. The nice thing of GIMP is that it reads Photoshop Brushes as well, but not the other way around ;-)

  6. insicdesigns says:

  12. And one hopes that even more GIMP brushes will be created so that this time next year there will be a thousand more. Yay for GIMP!

  13. Gimper says:

    GIMP 2.4 and above fully support PS .abr brushes so there the days of GIMP specific are over.

  14. stelt says:

    I see “vector”, but not “SVG” ?!
    What’s this other format?

  15. Ouipas says:

    Great collection. Can’t wait to try them out.

    cheers !

  16. Mr. Little says:

    Wow, nice list. This is definitely bookmark worthy, thanks.

  17. Mitternacht says:

    Very useful resource, thank you very much. Gimp has some usability problems as compared to Photoshop, but can do a great job once you get used to it.
    Please note that Photoshop brushes (*.abr) work perfectly with Gimp, though. I use tons of them.
