February is the 8th month of the of the Texture Club.   Thanks so much to all of you who keep the texture club going strong!

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 February:

To start February, I’ve created the following:

• 30 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.    These textures will work well on portraits, nature and just about any other type of work you can think of.
• 5 new PNG tint overlays.  These overlays can be used like a texture in various blending modes, but they’re intended for use in the “color” blending mode.  They’ll add a unique quality to your black and white work… but try them on color too!

To start the new year, 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 or even free tools like The GIMP.   This month I focused a little more on traditional warm and cool tones.  These textures will work well on portraits, nature and just about any other type of work you can think of.
• 9 new color and light vignette overlays.  These overlays can be used like a texture in various blending modes.  They’ll add a unique light and color emphasis to your work.  I hope you enjoy them!

To start December, 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 or even free tools like The GIMP.  This month on facoused on bringing some new variety to the club.  There are hand painted textures, textures that focus on brush stroke detail, and photographic textures.
• 10 new Adobe Lightroom Four Presets.  These presets are holiday and Christmas themed in color, but you can use them on any subject year round.  The set includes 4 color and tone presets, 2 holiday “through the viewfinder” presets, and 3 dramatic toned B&W presets.  I hope you enjoy them!

There are a lot of textures around the Internet.  Many of them are quite good, but most of them share a couple common themes.  Most are created from photographs and most are created in very neutral colored tones.  I wanted to do something different and unique!

Introducing the Painter’s Collection

The Painter’s collection is a new collection of 100 fine art, super high resolution textures.  They’re all completely hand painted in Photoshop and Corel Painter.  They’re bolder than the usual textures, both in color and in range of style.  Some are grungy, others are more subtle, and every one of them is unique.  I like to think of each texture as a unique work of art all its own.  The textures are 18×12″ at 300DPI, which means they’re great for use with high resolution images like those from the D800 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, 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.

Everyone has been so supportive of my work and the Texture Club, and I wanted to give back.  To show my appreciation for all of you, I’m releasing a new free set of high resolution fine art textures.  These textures are different than many of my other offerings as they are hand painted and do not use photographic elements.  They’re the same super high, 18×12″ 300 dpi, resolution as my paid textures.  Feel free to use them for your commercial work and share them with your friends.  Please also feel free to share the work you create with them on my Facebook page.
