New Photoshop Brush Directory - Chez Plumeau
September 20, 2007
Everyone looking for Photoshop brushes knows how wonderful it is to discover and explore a good brush directory site. Now there's a new kid on the block. Chez Plumeau is serving up some very wonderful brushes and so we got in touch with site owner Cécile and asked her for some background info.
Please tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Cécile and I live in Paris, France. I am a web designer and I had the idea of building this website because I had trouble organizing my own Photoshop brush folder and so I thought it would be useful to create a visual interface for displaying and organizing brush previews.
How does the submission process work?
Brushes are selected and categorized manually. Anybody can suggest their own brush sets for inclusion. I present them if I find them interesting, great, useful, unusual, creative etc...
How are you different from the other Photoshop brush directories?
Chez Plumeau is both a directory and a search engine, available in English and in French. Visitors can browse categories and also search brushes by keyword.
Chez Plumeau doesn’t store abr files (unless designers ask us to do so), we just redirect visitors to the related webpages on the authors' websites. For every brush added, two links are provided: one to the author's homepage, and the second to the brush download page on the author’s' website.
At the moment Chez Plumeau displays about 560 brush sets, and the database just keeps on growing.
What are some of your favorite Photoshop brushes?
It's difficult to say... I love these ones very much:
Fly trap by Dan Spencer
japanese flowers, grass and swirls (high résolution)
Obscur grunge brushes by Krakograff
dirt and stains
Skyline by Hawksmont
buildings (high résolution)
Wings by Stephanie Shimerdla
various types of wings: fairies angel, butterfly, insect, bat, demon/succubus, dragon, dragonfly...
What's the story behind the name Chez Plumeau?
"Plumeau" is the french word for “feather duster”. "Chez Plumeau" is also the name of a famous restaurant located in Montmartre, Paris, nearby the Dali Museum and a few steps from my own home.
This restaurant is quite ancient, it was previously a Cabaret. It’s one of the last places that remains from the time when Montmartre was a homeland for artists, especially for painters. It is still a very nice place to have dinner if you come to Paris.
Thanks Cécile, and good luck with this!
So if you're looking for some new Photoshop brushes give the site a spin, and if you create brushes, make sure to get listed. Either way, Chez Plumeau is worth your while!

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
