FREE Painted Heart Icons

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Hello Tidy Blog readers! With Valentines Day fast approaching I thought it was a good idea to pick up a paintbrush and create some free painted heart icons:

FREE Painted Heart Icons

Download icons

Above I’ve created several painted heart icons for you to play around with in Photoshop. Sadly I did not have time to tidy them up, organize or prep a .psd file; this download is simply an assortment of quick doodles for you to work on… Please feel free to use these painted heart icons for both commercial and non-commercial projects. Enjoy!

Painting is so much fun, everyone should do it!

At Tidy Design we love everything creative! Be it digital design, creating websites, writing, photography, watercolours, sketching, oil painting etc! We enjoy it all!

During a trip to Italy last month I found time to pick up my sketchpad and start illustrating characters for a children’s storybook I am developing… You can find out more about this project at www.montgomerymoon.com

Anyway, since returning back to the UK I have re-ignited my passion for fine art and painting! After a busy day at the office it is a great way to switch off, relax and unwind! Everyone should do it!

Below I have uploaded a few photos taken yesterday afternoon, the spec ‘to draw and paint two canvases for my little boys nursery!’

If you require any bespoke artwork, maybe a children’s storybook illustrated or some graphic design work for your business then please get in touch. We would love to here about your requirements!

Enjoy what remains of the weekend! Come on Rafa!

We like to keep busy!

We have developed and licensed out a Hotel Booking System.

We created Montgomery Moon and setup the site Business Networking Link to help support start-ups.
