May is the 11th month of the of the Texture Club.   I’m still humbled and amazed by the work that’s been created with these resources.  I love seeing what you create on my Facebook page..

The Texture Club is a place for artists, photographers and designers to get some of the most unique textures, presets, etc. on the web.  I wanted to make it affordable, accessible, and fun.  I think I’ve done just that.  The club is $10/month.  For that $10, you’ll get at least 15 new textures, plus any other tools I create during the month.  I’ll add to the club as I create new things.

Here’s what you’ll get when you join in May:

• 25 unique, super high resolution (18×12″ at 300DPI) textures that you can use as layers in your favorite photo editing application.  They’re standard JPEG files and can be used any layers compatible application like Photoshop, Elements, Paint Shop Pro or even free tools like The GIMP.    This month I focused on bring a great variety to the club.  There are floral influences, ephemeral touches and much more.
• 9 new sheer color overlays.  Use these overlays to change the tonal range and lighting in your work.  They can be used in dramatic fashion or create subtle nuance in your pieces.
• 20 Adobe Photoshop Actions.   I’m very pleased with this set.  It offers a great variety of color and tone actions and a whole new set of workflow enhancers.

• 9 new bokeh styled overlays.  Use these overlays to add a little whimsy to your work.  You can apply them like any texture, but they’ll add creative points of light to your creations.
• 6 fun water drop backgrounds.  These backgrounds include raindrops on solid color backgrounds, and some interesting out of focus cloud and landscape elements.  You can use these as background, but don’t hesitate to try them in other blending modes.  They’re plenty contrasty and can work in a variety of settings.

To start March, I’ve created the following:

• 25 unique, super high resolution (18×12″ at 300DPI) textures that you can use as layers in your favorite photo editing application.  They’re standard JPEG files and can be used any layers compatible application like Photoshop, Elements, Paint Shop Pro or even free tools like The GIMP.    This month I focused of bringing you a great variety of different styles.  I introduced more repeating patterns in to this month’s textures.
• 9 new vignette overlays.  When you use these vignettes like you would a texture, they’ll give your work a whole new tone and balance of light.  Try them in unconventional blending modes to see how they’ll give your work a new feel.
• 9 funky digital styled overlays.  These digital patterns may not appeal to everyone, but I know that some of my Texture Club members will find incredibly creative ways to use them.  I think they’d be great as unique backdrops in commercial work.  Try them with anything though.  I’d like to see what you do!

I’ve taken the feedback from my other texture sets and come up with something that I think everyone will enjoy.  There are many texture sets on the Internet, but I can’t think of one that combines so many different styles.

Introducing the Variety Collection

The Variety collection is a new collection of 100 fine art, super high resolution textures.  They cover a huge range of styled including grunge, pop art, canvas, photographic, light and bright, shabby chic and more.  There are also textures that defy a particular style.  If you’re looking to make a statement with your work and want a huge variety of textures to help with that, this set it for you!

The textures are 18×12″ at 300DPI, which means they’re great for use with high resolution images like those from the D800, D600, 6D and 5D Mark III.  They also work great for illustration and any other artistic use you can think of.  They are standard JPEG files and can be used in any layers capable photo editing application like Photoshop, Paint Shop Prop, Elements or The Gimp.

When you purchase the textures, you purchase an open licensed set of artistic tools that can be used for any commercial purposes.  I love seeing what people create with them, and I invite you to share your work on my Facebook page.  I also like to cater to those just starting out with textures.  If you have questions about how to use them, feel free to drop me a note on Facebook, or contact me here.
