Justin Gerard honed the craft of traditional illustration before discovering digital painting in a book at Barnes and Noble in early fall of 2003.
Over the next several years, he refined his work, bringing the best of the traditional art world to Photoshop. Through completing works for a
variety of children's publishing clients, Justin developed a library of brushes to work across a wide range of styles and effects.
This collection represents years of experimentation and finessing, but is now available to you as a series of 5 digital download packages.
The slideshow images showcase some of Justin's most advanced digital paintings, all of which utilize these unique Photoshop brush sets.
