Grunge Textures – Spring Collection

by Lawrence on February 25, 2009

Spring Collection Grunge Textures Provided By Doug From Furious Photographers

Today I offer a simple “green” collection that Doug has compiled used for brides in green landscapes. These fine art textures are very effective when highlighting specific areas or subjects. Doug offered three sample images for reference (the last one photographed by Julie).

Just a warning, Doug’s and Julie’s styles are a little bit eccentric. The images take a while to appreciate, which make them unique photographers in their own right. Enjoy!

Shameless Plug

There are a total of 12 textures photographed at 21 MP, so it will be at an excruciatingly large format. Want a copy? Give us a plug! The first 30 people to give Tofurious (it does not necessarily have to be about this post) a plug will be emailed a link to download them.

What is a plug? A link or referral on a forum, website, social networks, blog and etc.

Comment on this post with the following information

  1. Your name [and hopefully website if any] – brand yourself so that others will know you!
  2. Location for plug (if it is a forum whereas login is necessary, make a screen print and upload it so that it can be publicly seen)
  3. Your email address for the link (it will not be disclosed so do not worry)

One rule – max 5 plugs per category (such as Twitter, Facebook, B-School, ILP, blog post, shouted out your window, etc.), so be sure to check who has commented before making a post.  I want to keep it fair and fun for everyone!  I plan to do this for every future product and I assure you there will be really gnarly ones coming soon.

Currently at the Tofurious Lab:

  1. obviously the wicked photo booth
  2. flash slideshow plugin for WordPress that is super easy to use and install
  3. slideshow [killer] program TBD

For those who just want to support Tofurious, feel free to grab a set for 10 bucks – thanks!

I twittered about Tofurious (and I believe since you follow me, you probably saw it, but just in case I’m at http://twitter.com/JAlexisE) and said “Are you a photographer? Then you need to check out http://www.tofurious.com! I have it bookmarked and it’s a daily read for me.” And aside from this twitter, I’m always telling other photographers how great your site is. Thanks for such a fantastic resource!

I shouted out ‘tofurious.com’ when i was eating at my favourite ‘noodle’ hangout…looked like people just thought i was a vegetarian with tourettes….does that count as a ‘plug’?

I downloaded your free ones going to give them a go and see what they look like, I have never thought of overlaying textures before, thanks for the free ones and maybe I’ll download the rest some time too
