Greetings! Today I’m excited to announce the release of Harrewyn, my tenth free cartography brush set for Photoshop (and GIMP). This set is fantastic and has a great gothic feel, which would be perfect for a fantasy setting. The signs and symbols within are taken from “Cartes des Paysbas et des Frontieres de France"—an incredibly detailed 18th Century map of northern France and Belgium etched by Jacobus Harrewijn. As with all my brushes, these are distributed under a CC0 license, which means they’re free to use for personal or commercial work, no attribution required!

As always, let me know what you think. I’d love to see what you make, and please feel free to share this anywhere appropriate.

You can read more about Harrewyn and download the set over on my blog.
