Welcome to the Goodies section! Throughout some 20+-years of being a hobbyist, I’ve always wanted to offer some form of digital goodies for fellow hobbyists, such as graphics and such. But at that time, I didn’t have adequate skills to create handmade digital goodies, such as pixel art, fonts, patterns, etc. Well, that, as well as me being lazy or unmotivated to open one. But deep within, I always wanted to give back something to the hobbyist community.
On the right side is the UPDATES box, where I list the new stuff I upload and ready to be downloaded for free. Before you download and use them, be sure to read the Creative Commons license. Thank you!

Fresh & New (9/11/24)
- Removed the Patterns section below. I wanted to create patterns as website backgrounds, but because I’m still new-ish to Procreate and making surface patterns, the file sizes were too large to be used as web backgrounds. Another reason why I removed them because I want to monetize them for fabrics or custom clothing somehow.
- As a result of the above point, the Goodies section will only provide free custom-made fonts.
Fonts
SHARPAY MARK
This is my first handcrafted font, now available for free download. I’ve tried and tested a bunch of specimens originally for this site, as well as other projects, but I prefer something else.
I created Sharpay Mark, which is meant to be used as a heading font. I recently discovered Calligraphr and introduced me to an easier way to create custom, handmade fonts. And then, I also discovered that Fontself has an iPad version, and went ahead and purchased that. I have come across Fontself before, and purchased the extension several years ago when it first came out. However, with the lack of time and the lack of peripherals that would help me create fonts easier, I basically abandoned it. With the iPad version, it became a lot easier for me, and very portable as well.
Sharpay Mark was created using Fontself. The specimen contains characters commonly found on an English/Western keyboard. It does not contain special characters
BrushSpots
My second handmade font, specifically for headers and (possibly) logos. These are not made to be used as default text fonts.
I created this font using the Fontself for iPad app. Because of the lack of designing purposes, I would have to use Procreate or any illustration software I could use, then use Calligraphr to convert them into typefaces. With Fontself, I had to play around with their brush settings, so that I could emulate some sample specimens into something fresh and creative. All I did was “dotted” one or two sides of a character manually. No special effects included. Thus, I gave the font’s name BrushSpots.
This specimen contains characters commonly found on an English/Western keyboard. It does not contain any special characters.
