One of my goals this year is to provide more free stuff to people who visit this blog. I thought I’d start by highlighting some of my favorite free brushes to make them easier to find. This month’s featured freebie is my Scripty Flourish brush. You can download it here. If you use it, I’d love to see your awesome work, so tag @AlexisGentry on Instagram.

Two new brushes – Static Shock and Broken Brush
I just released two brand new Procreate lettering brushes. You can buy them from Etsy or Creative Market.
The first is called Static Shock and it has a cool brush shape that gives it a choppy texture.
The second is called Broken Brush and it includes a unique shape and grain to make it resemble a broken old paint brush.
If you use them, tag @AlexisGentry on Instagram so I can check out your cool creations!
Introducing Prime Meridian
I spent the whole weekend putting the finishing touches on a brand new font and now it’s finally ready to make its debut. I call it Prime Meridian because the Os and Gs kind of reminded me of a globe. It comes with capital letters only, but also includes numbers and some basic punctuation and symbols. I plan to install it on the Over app on my iPad and use it for creating Instagram posts, but it has all sorts of fun potential uses.
Pick it up on Creative Market or Etsy and tag @AlexisGentry in your creations so I can see the cool stuff you make!

Introducing the Sketchy Brush Pack
If you’ve followed me on Instagram for any period of time, you know that I really don’t like sketching.
I like diving headfirst into a project and letting the undo button be my sketch. But recently, I’ve been trying to train myself to sketch out my ideas to re-think layouts, lettering styles and sometimes colors. One project whwere I actually attempted to sketch first was this Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure quote, and I was thrilled with the way it turned out.
Maybe there’s something to this sketching thing after all!
So, with that in mind, I started working on a pack of brushes that made sketching more fun. I wanted pencils, ball-point pens, and even the look of a dried-out brush marker—which was modeled after one of my very own frayed and drying brush markers. That turned into this pack of 5 lettering brushes and a bonus texture called the Sketchy Brush Pack. You can get it now on Etsy and Creative Market.

Here is what comes in this brush bundle:
Side note: One of my favorite (and most time-consuming) pieces of all time was created entirely with the Pencil Pusher brush in this pack.
