4 Rusty and Painted Metal Textures
Feb 1st
It time for the weekly design resource. This week I have another set of textures. This set of textures I took earlier this week when taking some time off and did some shopping in Historic Downtown McKinney with the wife.
This set of textures is tree rusty metal textures taking from various buildings and structures that were around 100+ years old. Plus I also added one peeling paint (not really people, just worn down) diamond plate on an outdoor winding stair case.

5 Free High Quality Metallic Textures
Jan 19th
Once again it’s time for the weekly design resource. This week we have another free high quality texture around up. But this time, I found 5 metallic textures from the texture community over at DeviantArt. These textures are all free and most can be used for commercial work. Make sure to read each creator’s rules before using them. Most require a link back or a comment on the texture pack that used it and where to find the completed work.

Its time for the weekly design resource again. This week I decided to share another set of free high quality textures I created a few months back.
This week’s textures are 5 rock textures that were shot just a few miles from my house. The first two are of a new retaining wall that was built for a new neighborhood. The last three are of limestone rock formations at park. In our area this type of limestone is called Austin Chalk.

3 Wood Bark Textures
Jan 4th
It’s the start of the new year so it time to start of the weekly design resource articles. This week is another set of textures I shot at a local park up in Plano Texas, last spring. The textures are of tree bark that is peeling and cracked and with the right editing you can make the bark of an aged look or keep it as is.

Two of them are rusty and pealing paint textures and one is a rusty diamond pattern piece of metal. The other one is that back of a road sign. So its grimy and streaked.

5 Beautifully Designed Grunge Seamless Texture and Pattern Packs
Sep 21st
I have decided to change up Texture Wednesdays a little. To avoid repeating texture packs and individual textures collections, I have decided to share other design resources on Wednesdays as well. So if I haven’t found a great set of textures to share with you, I will create a collection of patterns, Photoshop actions, brushes, styles, and gradients. This way there should almost always be a new resource available to write about.

This week’s free textures are from Grunge Textures and they are high quality concrete textures. As mentioned in the last texture article, Grunge Textures offers free high quality textures for personal and commercial use.
Over the last few weeks I have been looking for some great concrete textures for several small design projects I am working on. Even though I didn’t use these in my projects, these are still my favorite concrete textures.
