These are lovely! Thanks for making them available!
I'd rep you, but I have to spread it around some more first!
Thank you very much, to all. Well I hope I find a good scan of the Mountain maps of Switzerland so I can add the Mountains to the Brushset soon.
I have seen a lot people try to adapt Blaeus style, so why dont just used them? Its copyrightfree since 1890 anywayand he took mapf of Gerhad Mercator and others anyway, so dont say remix-culture is a modern thing , ha!
Hi Coyotemax, if you have some interesting maps, you could send me them and I convert them into brushsets!Originally Posted by Coyotemax

EDIT: Disregard this please. I dropped it in the wrong folder...fault mine. They work great!
Any chancce you could post the scans so those of using GIMP can use the brushes as well?
