    Thanks for sharing Janet.  I saw Paul at Max last year, and he was great value, and just a little bit out there — well short of the other dimension that Jason Levine and Russell Brown reside in, but half way through the wormhole that leads you there.  I don't remember if he covered brushes in his presentation, but my memory of the rest of his session is overpowered with the image of his OTT laptop cover design...

    ...and the unfortunate (we assume it was not deliberate) visual in his demo of Muse right at the end of his presentation. (Starts at around 1:10:00 )
