tired having inverted umbrella when its windy ( I always have this problem).. you need nubrella to help you!
The nubrella is designed for the 21st century. Nubrella exploits the fundamental limitations of today’s traditional umbrella while introducing a long awaited feature of hands free usage. Nubrella turned to the award winning design firm, Continuum. The result is an eye catching new aerodynamic design that many are saying is simply a better “mousetrap”.
The umbrella was invented some 3000 years ago and has seen no evolution. We continue to rely on the umbrella for protection against all inclement weather conditions until now. Let nubrella be your new item in your arsenal of weather protection gear and “stay outdoors”!
Umbrella challenge:
How does your umbrella hold up in windy conditions?
Are you tired of your umbrella inverting and breaking all the time?
How much protection does your umbrella provide you in extreme cold and in a blizzard?
Have you ever wished you had a Hands Free umbrella?
Are you tired of the “bobbing” effect on the busy metropolitan sidewalks?
Innovation:
Introducing nubrella, the ultimate weather protector!
Nubrella is no ordinary umbrella, it stops rain, wind, snow and extreme cold - and keeps your head, face and shoulders drier than ever. It offers more protection, guaranteed!
Yet, nubrella went one step further and is changing the game forever. With nubrella’s new patent pending “shoulder straps” and “offset handle” you can now be completely hands free!
Yes, nubrella is the first true hands free umbrella in the world. You are probably already imagining all the times you wished you had a hands free umbrella, well now you can.
So the time is now to add nubrella to your arsenal of weather protection gear and stay outdoors!
Nubrella exploits the fundamental flaws of today’s traditional umbrella design. Many will believe nubrella is a “better mousetrap” for more inclement weather conditions.

need any photoshop brushes for your design or photo manipulation? I found interesting collection of photoshop brush by Mel
About Mel
Thanks for stopping by…
I’m from Gloucestershire, UK. I work as a graphic designer and video artist - you can see some my VJ mixes here. This blog is a busy but very enjoyable sideline.
I began putting sets of photoshop brushes which i had produced during various personal design projects on deviant art a couple of years ago. They proved so popular that I thought i’d make a one-stop place to view and download the sets, and also to provide a few beginners tutorials. As time’s gone by i’ve added more than just brushes - patterns, vectors - i’ll have to change the name of this blog before long!
You can contact me at melrodicq@hotmail.com, for more info, brush licenses or any other design related requests or questions. I always try to reply to email enquiries by the end of the next working day. My usual working hours are 9am - 3pm GMT Monday to Friday.
I’ll be adding new resources regularly - so check back from time to time!

Do you still remember the love guru at American Idol finale? So this person actually called Guru Pitka act by Mike Myers. The movie will screen world wide 20 June. Watch this trailer and you know its funny! I can’t wait to cracking up!!
Austin Powers trilogy star Mike Myers collaborates with writer Graham Gordy for this comedy concerning a self-help guru named Pitka (Myers), who devotes his life to unknotting the romantic entanglements of troubled couples. As a young child, Pitka is abandoned at the gates of an ashram in India and taken in by kindly gurus. An American by birth, Pitka absorbs the lessons taught to him by his teachers and later returns to the United States to become a leading authority on spirituality and self-help. While Pitka’s methods are decidedly unorthodox, they may be the only means of ensuring that the Toronto Maple Leafs win the coveted Stanley Cup. The Maple Leaf’s star Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) is in trouble. His estranged wife has recently begun dating L.A. Kings star Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake) in a vengeful effort to send her husband’s career into a tailspin, and when Roanoke starts to falter on the ice, the whole team starts to suffer. As their visions of leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Stanley Cup are quickly going up in flames, team owner Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba) and Coach Cherkov (Verne Troyer) enlist the aid of the world’s best-known relationship expert in restoring the peace between Roanoke and his wife, and getting their team back on the track to the championships. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
p/s: oh… there will be Justin Timberlake.. yummie yummie!!

Alex Latimer, is an writer and illustrator from menhealth. I love how well he can express some thoughts/feeling through illustrations. Isn’t he so creative?. here some writing and illustration from his blog:
This I did for an article in Menshealth that I wrote. The article tackles the question of whether men are better drivers than women. Age old and a little controversial - always a winner. The illustration is of this paragraph:
“Guys on the other hand have been writing off horses, ox wagons, penny-farthings and cars ever since it was an option. And it goes without saying that when you’re smashing up cars, safety goes down the toilet, along with affordable insurance premiums.”
This is for an article in Menshealth about how eating unhealthy foods can lead to erectile dysfunction. I decided to think of an idea that wouldn’t be too pornographic to draw - and I think I succeeded.
