|| a few of my fab goodies:
  Welcome!

Here are some choice TrueType fonts, Photoshop Actions for comic-book creation & effects, and two stylish web-site templates. Most items on this page are BitPass or PayPal enabled for easy micro-payment, and are packed in normal zip files for download & use.

Photoshop Action, for comic-book styling of digital photos.
Turns a +2mb megapixel digital photo - with good contrast, lighting, & sharp lines - into something from which you can crop-out details to build the panels of a comic-book page.  [50 cents].

Loads from Photoshop's Actions panel. Runs in about 60 seconds. Crop out suitable sections of the final image to assemble the panels for your comic-book page. You can accept the action's default style - or use your assembled panels as a nice clean "pencils layer" for speedy tracing/inking in your own style, using a Wacom pad. I also offer a Comic Book font that you can use for lettering - just scroll down this page.

  Yosemite Sky v1.0
My 45-step Ansel Adams -style "dark skies" Photoshop Action.

  VideoBlog v.1.1
World's first working video weblog template, complete with CSS & Flash source file.   [35 cents].

  FlowerPixel v1.0
A lovely-looking site template, hiding some hi-tec object-oriented javascript, CSS & DIVs. Quite simple to edit, since all the site's pages are contained on a single page - you just look for the clearly marked 'text bits' and edit them.   [10 cents].

  Brit Comics font.
A comic-book font, inspired by the lettering styles seen in old British comics. Full version with extra characters, italics & bold versions! Only available here!   [50 cents].

  Burning Rubber font.
A curiously melting font, with some interesting letter-shapes.   [10 cents].
