Abstract: A brush storage device is shown comprising a cover with an opening located within the cover. The opening can be configured to grip a handle of a liquid media applicator brush such that the bristles of the brush are substantially immersed into a liquid media within a liquid media container when the brush storage device is installed onto the liquid media container. In alternative embodiments, the opening can include a plurality of axially aligned slits that form generally triangular shaped flexible segments that grip the handle of the brush, while in other embodiments, the opening includes a grommet that can grip the handle of the brush.
