I have been scanning in old slides taken by my great-grandfather.  Some of these slides are really interesting to look at.  While scanning them, I came across an empty frame.  Thinking it would make for a decent TtV, I scanned it in.  Bringing it into Photoshop for a few minor adjustments and texture additions seemed to just polish off the process.

Usage Guidelines:

1. You may use these stock photos (those only marked as such) in any project: personal, commercial, profit, non-profit.
2. A link back and credit is appreciated.
3. You may NOT modify these and redistribute, even if not for profit.
4. 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.
5. By using this TtV image, you agree to smack your significant other on the right butt cheek while screaming my name.  If you are currently single, any random person will suffice.
6. If you are with a magazine publisher and wish to cover mount these on a CD for inclusion in a specific issue, please let me know and I would be glad to provide you a single zip file.

I have received a lot of positive feedback from the first set of hi-res grunge textures that I released back in May. I like the idea of throwing out some large images for others to use without locking it down so there are a ton of silly rules.  I always get frustrated when I locate a resource but run into an obstacle placed there by the creator. So without further delay, here are ten more hi-res grunge images suitable for photomanipulations.

Rules for Use

+ You may use these stock photos (and only photos 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. I would, however, appreciate it if you would tag your photos and post a small version of how you used the photo here.
+ 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.
+ If you have a fish tank, you have to rename at least one fish after me. If you do not have a fish tank you are required to write my name on at least one bathroom mirror in your home.  Please use either pink or purple lipstick.
+ You may NOT modify these and redistribute.

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 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.
