The other day I was wandering around some back allies in my town and came across all of these cool poles that had been painted and scraped and repainted over and over again. I thought it gave these grunge textures a very cool feel, almost like an abstract acrylic painting or something. I’ve got all kinds of cool textures coming your way in the next few weeks, so get excited! Enjoy!

Congratulations to Trevor C, Rommel Miraflores, and Jess. They were the 3 lucky winners of a free Floral Mega Pack of vectors from Designious.com. I’d like to take a second and give a special thanks to Alex, from Designious. In the past 1-2 years, he has generously donated hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars worth of vectors to the BittBox readership. Thanks again Alex for all the lovely vector goodness. We all appreciate it.

I wandered around town today for a few hours and shot over 600 new textures and some of my favorites from the batch are the rusty ones. Rust textures work really well when you want to add a good chunk of grunge to your designs or photos. I tried to include a nice variety in today’s post… I hope you get some use out of them. Enjoy!

I have some more experimental textures coming your way this week in the form of grungy cracks. No, not the kind found on your plumber. I’m talking about these textures that I made by layering various grunge textures on top of images of cracked concrete and walls. Hopefully you can find a cool use for them in your designs. Enjoy!
