			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a two month hiatus, I figured I had to come back with something good. I don&#8217;t know about you, but when I need a good Photoshop brush, it can take me a long time to find one. I have to search through several sites or more to find what I need, and sometimes I come up empty handed.</p>
<p><span id="more-288"></span>I&#8217;ve tried to ease the brush-seeking task a bit by presenting a list of the 101 best brush sets I could find. <strong>That&#8217;s over 2,700 brushes! </strong>I&#8217;ve done a <em>lot </em>of searching for these (and have tested all of them, as the screenshots can attest). As a result, I believe this is one of the best collections of Photoshop brushes out there.</p>
<p>When considering a brush for inclusion, I looked at two things: (1) aesthetics and (2) usefulness. If the brush looked good, I thought about whether it was useful. To me, usefulness has a lot to do with flexibility. Can the brush be used anywhere in the design, or only on the edges? Is it large enough? Does it require me to dress it up, or can I just plop it down and have it look good?</p>
<p><strong>Be sure to read the individual licenses for these brushes before using them</strong>, and give credit to their respective authors when and where it is due. Out of respect for the individual authors, I have linked directly to their download pages, where possible. Click any thumbnail to visit the download page.</p>
<p>To make it easier to browse this large collection, I&#8217;ve separated the brush sets into 5 categories so you can skip to what you&#8217;re after:</p>
