Hey,

I frequently see textures being used on images, just wondering if there is an online database somewhere with a large selection?

Cheers,
Adam

The best way to get textures is to just photography them.

Crumble up some pieces of paper, then open them, then photograph them.

Grab some shots of rock, a tree, a canvas bag, a curtain, your pants, your sweater, your used coffee filters, the sidewalk.

If you're old, or have any old friends, take photos of skin. It has some nice texture.

Cheers for the tips. I like your work, great website and PP- loads a little slow though.
