Last year I created some images using fireballs, explosion, fire and smoke. Basically I only used brushes to create that in Photoshop. Now with the release of the new Pixelmator 1.4 and its brand new Brush Engine I decided to try it and create the same image in Pixelmator.
So, in this tutorial I will show you how to create fire and smoke using Pixelmator. We will play with the Brush Engine, colors and Blendings.
This week we have a really cool wallpaper created by Ee Venn Soh, a digital artist and illustrator from Johor Bahru, Malaysia with a really impressive portfolio. You can check more of his work out at http://www.behance.net/vennsoh.
Also if you want to have your wallpaper featured in our wallpaper of the week send us your wallpaper or suggestions for wallpapers.

The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
