> We’re pleased to announce that VIVERSE is hosting an Open Brush art competition this March! > > **Competition Theme

Any present or former users of Quill - make yourselves known to me. I'd like to pick your brains regarding better integration with Open Brush 🙂

The Windows Thumbnail Extension is now available for download from https://openbrush.itch.io/openbrush (see the last item in the download list). This should make it much easier to organise your sketches. Quest users can use this as well if they have access to Windows. Just copy over your sketches, organise them and copy them back.
