for fonts, i go to www.dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com)
and for brushes, i go to http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/
save fonts/brushes to my documents.
thats what i do anyways.
************************************************** ************************************************** ***********
HOW TO SAVE THE FONTS/BRUSHES ONTO YOUR COMPUTER.
1. ok, save the brushes/fonts to a disk
when you save them, at the top of the little window thing
there should be a drop down menu, and click on my documents
thats where i always save my brushes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. and to view them, go to the start button on the left corner of your computer sceen
(if you have windows)
and then click on my documents

- SOMETIMES THEY MAY AUTOMATICALLY LOOK LIKE THAT.
THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO THEM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the other way to make a blend. I'll be using two pictures. This is in Photoshop.
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/006jpgna7.png
and
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/007jpgaw1.png
Since they are similar :-)
Make a new image document (for sigs, I use 450x200), but any size will do... and paste your images right on top of another.

Take your POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL (if you can't find it, it might be called the lasso tool.) If it's not on POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL, then right click on the lasso and click Polygonal Lasso Tool.
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4797/scrn2tt2.jpg
After selecting your Polygonal Lasso Tool, you'll see a section that says "Feather" and a little box next to it that says "0 px", change that to "10 px"
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1361/scrn3zn2.jpg
Make sure the box "Anti-Aliased" is also checked. After that, start outlining the parts you want to delete (the camera man outside of Zac.)
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8900/scrn4wt6.jpg
Then press "DELETE".
This will leave a result sort of like
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/5381/finishhl0.jpg
Except not that color, I added the finishing touches already. :-)
