This is just an announcement to let you all know that this community will be closing shortly.

You will have noticed that the amount of graphics we've been putting up for offer has decreased and we both believe that we are not offering the kind of graphics that people are interested in at the moment. Our hearts aren't in this anymore so we think that now would be the best time to call it a day.

We will still take requests via our website and all of our tutorials will be available there.

We would like to thank all of the members who have supported us as well as our affiliates.

skybird14 and harleyrider

In the very near future, Coldwater Morning Graphics will be responsible for the design and maintenance of three websites and after a lot of work it gives me great pleasure to launch the first of these websites.

charleswinchester.com was originally launched in January 2005 but due to unforseen circumstances the website spent a lot of last year offline. Now for 2009 the site has had a revamp and it gives me great pleasure to share the site with you.

If you're anything like me, then you'll have seen Mask Brushes but you're not 100% sure how to use them. This tutorial will teach you how it's done.

This is the graphic I'm making:

Neither skybird14 are particularly into Valentine's Day but I thought it wouldn't be right if we didn't offer you something to mark the occsion so I am offering you this deep red icon which you can add your partner's name and a special date.

I'm giving you this requestable earlier than I'd originally planned to but as I had to close the snow name requestable early, I thought it was the least I could do.

Animation is not my strong point so it's not often we offer requestables on these but when I saw this background I thought it was something I could work with.
