The best way to see what Stylism can do, have a look at these two links,;
A video showing what you can use Stylism for,
A static tutorial on making what I attached in my first post.
Don't forget you can turn your vector artwork into Pattern Brushes in Illustrator, as shown in this MirrorMe video. (from 13 minutes onwards).
There are plenty of Astute Graphics videos on YouTube and also on the Astute Graphics website where there are more tutorials and webinars.
