If you are wondering where it went, this is what I received in my inbox this morning:

"Deleted due to Copyright Violation

As the images from which this brush was derived from were cigarette card photos published in 1886, the source images are well, WELL, in the public domain, as is ALMOST ALL material published before 1923.

It irks me to be accused of copyright infringement and not be given the opportunity to defend myself.

I realize that many servers like DevArts are running scared and simply covering their asses but at the same time, no one likes being accused of something they haven't done.

So...no more brushes here. I'll post them on my own blog from now on.
