If you aren’t already aware, I am a huge fan of the Portland Trail Blazers, and sometimes it comes out in my work (2009-10 Injury Report, anyone?).

For those unfamiliar with the Rose Garden, it’s the arena where the Blazers play (and the central image on the shirt design). As the saying goes, the RG is “Our House,” and if you’ve been to a game you’ll know that thousands of fans enjoy making that statement clear to anyone listening.

Anyway here’s your chance to make Blazer Fan Shop history by voting for my ‘Our House’ design! It’s one of two finalists, and the winning design will be sold at the Rose Garden! Oh, and I get some free tickets out of the deal…

If you liked the last round of metal textures, you’re going to love these ones! These rusty surfaces are great for grungy artwork, or just to provide some needed dept to your designs. Enjoy!

I know you’ve been wondering what to do with all those Bigfoot sightings you’ve got in your bank of spooky memories. Well, now there’s a place to report them, converse with like-minded individuals, or have a heated debate on the validity of Bigfoot sightings, artifacts and field reports.

Bigfootfinder.com launched just days ago, so take a gander and post your sightings and encounters. Or just refute or support the claims that have already been made.

As we wrap up the series of Gregory Wendt’s texture photos, thought I’d throw in some of his long exposure firework shots. these could be fun to use in backgrounds, as part of a lighting effect, or whatever you can think of! Have a blast!

Some great grungy assets in this collection. Here we have a nice set of rusted metal textures from Gregory Wendt. Enjoy, and be sure to comment up with links to your splendid results!
