Can't find anything like it on google. Where in surfstation are the custom brushes? I browsed through practically every link, but couldn't find it.

Most likely...it's simply an applied texture or pattern in PShop. This is probably applied to it's own layer (through Layer Styles), then the effect is converted into it's own layer to enable custom layer blending effects.

What version of PShop are you using?

[Grifter730]

Using Photoshop 7. Any idea how they created/got the pattern?

Possibly downloaded from Adobe Studio Exchange (At least something close)

Take a Look!!!

If nothing turns up, you'll still find this a GREAT resource.

Found a few neat stuff, but not what I was looking for
Anyone else have any idea?

Try This

These are Brushes!

Take a look at the Brushes on this page also

"Dirty Brushes" as well as "Grunge"

All of these in combination, on seperate layers should reproduce the effect your looking for.

Just found another!

YESSSSSS THANK YOU!!!!!

Eh... I'm trying to use these brushes on a new file in Photoshop, but for some reason, all it does is "erase". What I mean is, if I had a brush the shape of a square for instance, I'll click on the canvas and the place where the square should show up is now a transparent spot. What did I do wrong? @_@;

Well, I've never used these brushes either. My first question would be whether or not you have the eraser tool selected (No offense, just gotta ask)? If so, change to one of the other applicator tools; i.e. airbrush, pencil, etc. The next question would be how you have your foreground color set? Make sure it is.

It's possible that these brushes also came with documentation (a notepad doc), there might be something in these that will give some indication as to how these are to behave.

It might just be, this is how they are supposed to work. If so, it's like working with negative space...so, choose two colors close in range; i.e. #FFFFFF (background layer), and #FFFFCC (Second Layer). Then apply you new brush effect to the second layer to expose the lighter color below. Then mess with the blending effects and keep adding layers in this manner.

Just an idea.
