There’s this little bookstore where I live that has a secluded room towards the rear of the building that is packed with old and antique books. I’ll often just go and pull random books from the shelves and carefully inspect them for quality textures. For this set I took a propane torch to the edges of the paper to give the that vintage burned look. Enjoy!

Today I have a set of five different metal textures for you guys. I’m especially fond of the first one here, it’s just one of those textures that I could tell was awesome the first time I saw it on my camera screen. I hope you guys find them useful!

I’ve had many requests for skin textures in the last couple of months, so it’s about time I release a set ;) Rachelmhahn commented last week that there are *too* many grunge textures out there, which is probably true. So, I have some pretty cool non-grungy texture packs coming your way in the next few weeks, including bubbles, burned paper, book covers, and metals.

I noticed the other day that I have yet to do a set of my famous “nebulae grunge” textures here on Texture Tuesday. I made a website several months ago showcasing 10 texture similar to those below called NebulaeGrunge.com. The textures were used in a cool tutorial over at Web Design Ledger if you want to check it out. Hope you like ‘em! Next week I’ll start getting to some of those requests.

These scratch textures would work perfect for giving photos an old, worn look or even as a cool, grunge website background…they would definitely put an etch in your designs ;)

I’m taking suggestions for textures again, I’ve been able to fulfill a lot of the previous requests but if I haven’t gotten to yours just leave me a comment reminding me and I’ll try my hardest to make the textures you want in the coming weeks. Thanks!
