IntroductionInspired by the layouts of Abec13's 45-ATS and WalletBurner's Cajal, the idea for Paintbrush was born. After several changes and prototypes, the case was redesigned from the ground up with a focus on retaining the signature look and feel of earlier revisions while implementing more modern design elements.
