10 Free Hi-Res Grunge Photoshop Textures

Posted in Downloads by dub

Lately, I have been inspired by and heavily relying on some of the wonderful textures to be had via Flickr.  I realized that instead of simply taking all of the time, it would be kind to give back a little.  So that is what I did.

These initial 10 textures will fit right in with those images you are look to grunge up or add some texture to.

One frustration of mine is finding a great resource and then having your hands tied by some overly exhaustive guideline provided by the creating artist.  Sometimes I believe that people get too carried away with the rules and restrictions they apply to their resources. Especially when they might be searching for some resources and become frustrated by restrictive guides as well.  A recent rant of mine talks about people uploading photos to a FREE stock photo site, yet requiring the user to contact them, etc.  I digress. I want to avoid all of that with my textures, which is why I am encouraging the outright abuse of these textures.  Well, you get what I mean. So these textures are for your use and abuse.  I do have a few guidelines (scroll down) , but I believe you will find them relatively easy to follow.  If not, then perhaps you should stop using the computer all together.

You may download the hi-res by clicking on the texture below, or view the whole set.

Rules

  • You may use these stock photos (those only marked as such) in any project: personal, commercial, profit, non-profit.
  • You are not required to link back to me, give me credit, shake my hand, walk my dog, bake me a cake, or do anything else aside from use the stock photographs.  However, a link back and credit is appreciated. If you like to run around your house naked except for potholders, it would be cool if you would scream my name a few times.
  • You may NOT modify these and redistribute, even if not for profit.
  • You may use these in printed publications, graphics, artwork, etc without obtaining prior permission from me.  If you are using any of the stock photos in a printed publication, flyer, etc, I would love to see a final version of how the photos were used.

    Truly. Your sentiment and actions are so unexpected and gracious. I really appreciate it. Particularly because i have a deadline tomorrow and can really use one of these. If the concept makes it to print, i will definitely send it your way. Much appreciated!

    That’s the best usage agreement I’ve seen yet for freebies. I’m frustrated by downloads that say, you can use this if you credit me each and every time you use it. How is that possible? Either give it to me or sell it to me. With that said, when someone is generous enough to share freely, I am happy to show my appreciation by putting their link on my site, Twitter, forums, etc. Thanks!
