Free High Resolution Graffiti Photo Textures

Orkron — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:59:57 +0000

On the way to my kid’s school, there is an abandoned building with a really nice graffiti piece across the front. Today I decided to take some high-res photos of the graf for you to download to use as texture or stock photo.

I started by taking all the images I had taken, and used Photoshop to photo-merge them into a single panorama; the graf art is very wide.

[TIP] To Photo Merge many files into one, with all the files open inside Photoshop, click File -> Automate -> Photomerge and choose the type of layout, then click “Add open files” … The box will populate with the filenames of all open documents -> Click OK

I have the finished piece available in 300 dpi JPG image at 11,629 x 1,707 pixels, and the rest available in 3 separate sections in 2,500 pix wide, 300 dpi PNG files with transparent backgrounds.

Get Graffiti Wide JPG (341) 3MB


Get Graf 01 PNG (296) 4MB	Get Graf 02 PNG (290) 3MB	Get Graf 03 PNG (276) 3MB

Check out Media Militia for a great Graffiti Brushes/Texture resource.

Orkron — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:09:01 +0000

I was surprised recently when I couldn’t find any hi-res leather textures for a project that I was working on. As a result, I got my hands on some actual leather hides and started photographing them. I wanted to share these with others who may also need leather textures for one reason or another. I have 12 leather textures available in high-res JPG format available in a ZIP file, after the jump.

Beautiful Country Road

Orkron — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:48:50 +0000

It was a gorgeous morning near the base of Mt. Pisgah in Oregon (near where I live), and I just had to photograph it! Something about this image just makes me want to lean my back against one of those trees and take a nice warm afternoon nap!

Anyways, I wanted to share the stock photo with you (free of course). The zip file contains the high-res JPG of the image – 3072 x 2048 pixels.

Free Texture: Clouds

Orkron — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:39:30 +0000

We have some of the most beautiful skyscapes here on the west coast. Sometimes having a few clouds in the sky really makes quite a picture.

The day was perfect with light clouds scattered through a blue sky. The sun was beaming though, creating a great picture-perfect moment.

I took some shots for anyone who’s in need of skyscapes. Technically not textures but close!

Found Freebie: NASA “Public Domain” pics

Orkron — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 01:41:03 +0000

Bittbox found some really great “public domain” NASA images via wikimedia website.

I grabbed these up for my stock image library, but wanted to put them to use right away.Â I found that they make really great backgrounds for the iPhone and the iPod!Â So I wanted to share my “locked screen” background in the hopes to inspire some people!

There’s really so many uses for Public Domain images, not always commercial – so if you’d like to share some of your ideas, please do so!

Head over to Bittbox’s website to get the links to 35 NASA images!
