BlendFu

There must be, literally, 30,000 brushes available on the BlendFu site. One of the cooles parts of the site is that you can click a "test" tab, and a window comes up which allows you to select a brush, a color, a size (on and on) and try it out to see how it looks for real.

There are many options to choose from. Just select them (as you can see on the bottom-right, I have Shadow and Noise selected), click on a brush, and apply the effect! Very nice.
With so many brushes to choose from, they've (thankfully) been grouped into 19 categories. Be aware that our examples are but a very small part of what they offer.
- Artistic: abstract & fractal | splatters & spills | grunge & texture
Abstract & Fractal
There are 56 brush sets in total for abstract and fractal — this is just a very small portion.
