  1. Cheers for this really great selection of textures which i will definitely be using in my future design projects, i really like the way you have included textures which normally don’t make it onto texture showcases such as the risk and jeans textures, i have already downloaded these and look forward to using them in the future.

  2. Great share. :) Nice collection of professional textures. My favourite texture is wood texture. I’ll surely use these texture in future.

  3. Hi,

    These are beautiful textures indeed. However, do you have any more provenance information? Without that, many people will be wary of using them in their projects.
