Here's what's included in the Dragstrip Illustrator Brush Kit:

• 26 diverse Illustrator brushes created using a Hake brush and black acrylics.

You've Got to See These Brushes in Action

Take a look at the example images. Von's included some amazing artwork showing just how realistic these Illustrator brushes look. 

In fact, when Von first sent me the email artwork I couldn't believe this was made in Illustrator! I was sure it was Photoshop. Until I opened the AI file... then my mind was blown.

I asked Von how he suggests using the brushes and he had some great tips:

"You start with simple shapes that have a fill color and a matching stroke color. Then it’s all about experimenting by drawing other lines and applying brushes to them. If you deconstruct the usage sample files you can discern how I compiled the elements and how they work together to achieve the look and feel."

"Controlling a brush comes down to the shapes of the path, picking a stroke color which sets the brush color, selecting size of path which determines stroke width, setting the opacity and using blend modes to interact with other colors and create the illusion of painting."
