A couple of days ago I posted the Vector Mill Mid-Century Modern Crate giveaway and today I’m happy to announce the winner! Congrats to the winner and thanks to everyone that participated. If you didn’t win, you should still should get the crate! I know, this is a little self-serving, but there is some really excellent Illustrator goods in the crate.

The first Vector Mill crate of the year is live! I’ve made some slight changes to the crates so this new one is the first in a series of themed crates. The theme of this crate is Mid-Century Modern. It’s packed with a bunch of great resources for that vintage mid-century modern look. If your not going for that retro look, these elements can be used in a bunch of other styles so it’s worth checking out.

One of my favorite art brush options is Stretch Between Guides. I like using this option to keep the ends of the brush unchanged and just stretch the middle. For me it works similarly to a simple pattern brush, but it’s a lot easier to create. You can set this option in the Art Brush Options by selecting Stretch Between Guides and then setting the guides at the desired position.
