I read the RSS expecting actual swirls. It’s as misleading as that fags self-proclaimed title as “brush [queen]“

Very nice brushes, many thanks for that gift, Thomas!

brushes are crap make your own don’t spoil your creativity. When you surf on deviant art you can see the brush packs flying around…. brush packs suck!
