If you are like me, you love finding resources online for your work.  When they are hi-res that is great.  When they are hi-res AND free that is even better.  Here are 8 new hi-res grunge textures for you to use in your work.  All of the images are 4256px x 2832px and 300DPI.

To download the hi-res version, click on the image below.  Terms of use are available at the hi-res page.

If you use these, I would love to see your creations.  Credit/links back are not required but encouraged and appreciated.

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.
