1000+ Free Grunge Background Textures
Grunge background textures are useful in creating vintage look or when creating graffiti artwork, among many other things that you can do with these textures. This draft has been sitting on my drafts page for months and it was just yesterday when I was making my post about free graffiti fonts when I remembered that I had a draft about resources for grunge textures. Obviously, this post is very much related to my previous entry here.
For example, you can use the grunge backgrounds you will find here with the free graffiti fonts that I featured in my previous post then add a few brush strokes in Photoshop and presto! you have a graffiti artwork that you can use as your desktop wallpaper. This is just one of the many things that you can do using these textures.
There are thousands of textures that you can choose from links that you will find in this post. Most of these textures are licensed under Creative Commons and are therefore free to use for noncommercial purposes.
