Not even a week after set #3, let me introduce you to my fourth set of vector noise textures!
While the previous set was focused on stylized speckling, this one is back to being a potpourri of options.
The fifty-two (52) textures have been crafted from shot-on-purpose pictures, and other top-secret source materials. The results of these patient manipulations will allow you to give your work an wide array of weathering artefacts, from a five o'clock shadow to the nuclear apocalypse.
I've also made sure to provide the textures in a range of file formats, to adapt to as many software, and workflow combinations as possible:
- Vector format (Ai CC 2015, CS6, CS3, CS, EPS CS, and PDF)
- Transparent PNG versions
- Inverted, PNG screen textures version (white on black artefacts)
- Bitmap TIFF versions (x2: refined and coarse halftones)
- Sized to fit an 24"x18" canvas @ 300 ppi
I've also assembled a series of color combos from vintage packaging, paint chips, posters, and more, to display these. Feel free to re-use these palettes in your own work.
As usual, the pack is out now on my Creative Market store, for a mere $10.
One more thing. I'm about to launch a small newsletter for The Shop. You should sign up now, in order to receive new release sneak peeks, deals informations, and other general updates from the factory floor. No spam, guaranteed. I will have a fun surprise dropping by next Sunday to the people who place their trust (and their email address) into my care.
Once snow starts melting, it can provide some intense, grainy, and gritty textures. The delicate crystals become lumps of ice, that play beautifully with light. The water slowly mixes with the ground beneath, creating a fine layer of grime and mud. The various particles caught while the snow fell are slowly revealed.
Armed with my camera, I set to capture the quickly changing worlds of melting snow and ice. The result is the melting snow & ice texture pack, available on my Creative Market store now.
Some technical details:
- Fifty-two (52) textures
- 3,264 x 2,448 pixels
- Minimal editing in Adobe Camera Raw (Photoshop CC) for subtle color, exposure, and contrast correction
While the winter of 2014/2015 has been the warmest on record, we've also had some record snow fall. Armed with a digital camera, and some extra layers of clothing, I went to capture the amazing miniature worlds hidden behind the snowflakes.
Some technical details:
- Twenty-five (25) textures
- 3,264 x 2,448 pixels
- Minimal editing in Adobe Camera Raw (Photoshop CC) for subtle color, exposure, and contrast correction

Introducing The Shop's third set of vector textures!
This set is the tool you'll need if you want to create subtle vector speckling. The thirty (30) textures, patiently hand-generated, scanned, and digitized will provide you with an extended range of options to address your speckling needs, from subtle to dense.
Additionally, as these are vector based, they benefit from unlimited scalability.
A little of technical data:
- Thirty (30) textures in vector format (Ai and EPS CC 2015, CS6, CS3, CS, and PDF)
- Sized to fit an 18"x24" canvas @300 ppi
- Bonus: transparent PNG versions
- Bonus: vintage color combinations, inspired by 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s packaging & posters
The set is now available at The Shop, my Creative Market store: crtv.mk/s0IAb
Finally, a quick reminder that there are two other sets of vector textures in the same vein:
- Vector noise textures volume 01: crtv.mk/a027c
- Vector noise textures volume 02: crtv.mk/j09K3
- Vector noise textures volume 03: crtv.mk/s0IAb
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to introduce The Shop's second set of vector textures!
Vector textures don't have the smoothness of raster textures. This makes them a perfect medium to emulate things such as noise, dust, and other speckles. They also benefit from scalability.
This set of twenty-five (25), patiently hand-generated, noise textures will provide you with many options to add the aforementioned noise, dust, and speckling effects, ranging from subtle to harsh.
The set includes twenty-five (25) textures in vector format (Ai CC 2015, Ai CS6, Ai CS, PDF, EPS CS). They aresSized to fit an 18"x24" canvas @ 300 ppi. Bonus #1: transparent PNG versions. Bonus #2: all textures embedded as individual vector smart objects in a layered PSD file, ready to drag and drop into your projects. Bonus #3: vintage color combinations, inspired by Mid-Century Modern interior design, and packaging.
The set is now available at The Shop, my Creative Market shop: crtv.mk/j09K3.
I'm excited to finally share these. After working hard on my brush stroke textures, I wanted to also play with watercolor again. I painted a lot, and ended up with a total of 34 textures.
The eleven textures in this second batch have been hand-painted on paper with various grains. They have been carefully scanned in at very high resolution (1,200 ppi), in order to output crisp pixels sized at 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Yep, you read that right: each texture is 18"x24" @ 300 ppi.
There are two more packs in the set!

Every once in a while, when walking through a town's back alleys, you find one of these. An old metal door, that probably close in age to the building itself.
Captured in Goshen, IN, these 36 textures show the effect of time on a door made of thick metal sheets. Rain, snow, salt, and indelicate people have left their marks on it through the years, giving it this unique look and feel.
The textures are perfect for masking, background building, and more.
These are 3264x2448 pixels, and have received minimal edits in Photoshop CC (orientation, and color correction).

These textures are closeup shots of a very badly painted industrial building. It's like if the contractor or employee who did the job didn't really care about how well the result would look like. He just wanted to get it done, and move on.
This resulted in some very sloppy brush strokes, and runny paint. You can tell that the coat of paint is rather thick. You can also tell that there are probably some older coats of paint underneath that whoever did this couldn't be bothered to sand down.
These textures were captured during a trip to Goshen, IN.
These 25 textures (3264x2448 pixels) will be ideal for rough background building, and to emulate brush strokes. You could also use them for masking, for not-so-subtle results.

Did you know that this pack had a little brother?
This small set has been shot in Elkhart, IN. It features 12 textures of a subtly worn garage door.
These speckles and light scratches are perfect for soft aging your designs, or simulate the normal wear and tear of time. Use them either in layer masks, or while playing with opacities and blending modes.
The texture are 3264x2448 pixels, and have been edited as little as possible using Camera Raw in Photoshop CC.

KaTink's NEW Releases today, October 3, 2014. Members get 50% off each of the items this weekend only.
These seventeen (17) textures were printed on a copier with a faulty toner, which gives them a grainy feel, along with noisy artifacts similar to risograph prints.
The colors are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, then red, green, and blue, then ten hues following a rainbow spectrum gradient.
Each of the texture has been scanned at 2,400 ppi, then lightly edited in Photoshop (contrast, saturation), then resized to generate a crisp 18"x24" @ 300 ppi document.
- Seventeen (17) textures
- Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black, Red/Green/Blue, rainbow spectrum gradient
- Sized to fill an 18"x24" document at 300 ppi
Note that the high quality of the textures makes for an archive bigger than Creative Market's allowed product size limit. The archive you'll be downloading contains a text document with the download link to your full product, along with the preview images.

Introducing The Shop's first set of vector textures!
While raster textures will always have a more organic, softer tough to them due to their ability to retain values, and transparency, vector textures have the undeniable advantage of unlimited scalability.
This set of twenty-five (25) hand-crafted subtle noise textures will provide you with plenty of options to add soft wear patterns, grain, and other artifacts, to your projects.
- Twenty-five (25) textures in vector format (Ai CC 2014, Ai CS6, Ai CS, PDF, EPS CS)
- Bonus: raster big dots halftones bitmap TIFF versions (13,600 x 10,200 pixels @ 300 ppi)
- Bonus: raster big dot halftones transparent background versions (in a PSD file, 13,600 x 10,200 pixels @ 300 ppi)
- Bonus: raster small dots halftones transparent background versions (in a PSD file, 13,600 x 10,200 pixels @ 300 ppi)
- Bonus: vintage color combinations, inspired by 1950s car paint color
My latest tutorial for Design Cuts is now live.
The current DC bundle includes a product called Overprinting Press, that helps to quickly put together pieces with an overprinting effect.
I wanted to explore that approach, but without the semi-automated PSDs.
The quote we're "illustrating" during the tutorial is "Sadness flies away on the wings of time" by Jean de la Fontaine.
It's a slightly longer than usual tutorial, but I believe worth sticking through until the end.

Introducing the results of The Shop's most recent play session with black ink and paper: the black ink wash textures.
This pack includes a series of 12 black ink wash textures, featuring various types of brush patterns (diluted, heavy, subtle, intense, etc.).
After scanning the textures in at very high resolution, they are processed to fit a canvas roughly equivalent to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Other than resizing the textures, the editing process includes light color corrections, and straightening.
Additionally, the set also includes a version of the textures post-processed with an HDR-like feel to them. This second set transcends the various artifacts of each texture, and showcases an out of the ordinary level of details. The downside of that alternative editing process is that in some cases, the results are over the top.
Since I couldn't decide between the two, I decided to share them both as part of the product!
---
- Twelves (12) ink wash textures
- Two different editing styles, so twenty-four (24) textures total
- ~18"x24" @ 300 ppi (above 5400x7200 pixels)

And we're live! After a few weeks of scanning, editing, tweaking, and fine tuning, I'm happy to announce that I've launched my first three packs of vintage paper textures.
These 12 textures include ink smears, stains, creases, folds, and all sorts of grit accumulated through the years. The set has been carefully scanned in from a late 1800s typography reference book.
A bit of technical data:
- At least 7,700x4,800 pixels
- Scanned in at 1,200 ppi
- Complete pack file size: 322 Mb
Don't miss out on this great launch celebration: this texture pack is available as part of Design Cuts current bundle, "The Essential, Creative Design Arsenal" - http://www.designcuts.com/design-cuts-deals/essential-design-bundle
You can have a peek of what's in the pack in the attachments.

Have you ever paid attention to street markings? I recently came across an old, not so well taken care of parking lot. Its various spot lines are severely faded, cracked, and worn out.
Watching closely, it's like there's a whole unsuspected world unfolding, right under our feet.
The pack includes 19 textures, sized at 3264x2448 pixels. They are perfect for background effects, or to distress elements.

Did you know that this pack had a little brother?
Introducing the third installment of The Shop's popular photocopy noise textures, the photocopy noise texture pack volume 03!
This time, the set features twenty-nine (29) base textures. They were printed using an unhappy laser copier, low on toner. Then, they were scratched, creased, crumpled, rubbed, and scraped, to unveil some lovely wear patterns. The wear ranged from soft, subtle, all the way to nuclear devastation.
After that analog processing, the textures were scanned in at 1,200 ppi, adjusted for lighting in Photoshop, and then converted to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi documents. They are crisp as a winter morning.
Each texture is available in a positive (mostly black), and negative (mostly white) version.
Additionally, the set features each textures as transparent PNGs (ideal to quickly add in a design, and to color them using a color overlay), and bitmap TIFFs (perfect to use in Illustrator for great, detailed texture effects without hogging down your system resources).
Noise and dust textures are perfect to add a subtle depth to your designs. Using them is very simple: just switch your layer's blending mode to "Screen," and play with the opacity slider.

- Scanned in at 1,200 ppi
- Complete pack file size: 322 Mb
Don't miss out on this great launch celebration: this texture pack is available as part of Design Cuts current bundle, "The Essential, Creative Design Arsenal" - http://www.designcuts.com/design-cuts-deals/essential-design-bundle
You can have a peek of what's in the pack in the attachments.
Finally, note that there are two other paper textures packs captured from the same booklet!
- Vintage paper textures volume 01
Once snow starts melting, it can provide some intense, grainy, and gritty textures. The delicate crystals become lumps of ice, that play beautifully with light. The water slowly mixes with the ground beneath, creating a fine layer of grime and mud. The various particles caught while the snow fell are slowly revealed.
Armed with my camera, I set to capture the quickly changing worlds of melting snow and ice. The result is the melting snow & ice texture pack, available on my Creative Market store now.
Some technical details:
- Fifty-two (52) textures
- 3,264 x 2,448 pixels
- Minimal editing in Adobe Camera Raw (Photoshop CC) for subtle color, exposure, and contrast correction
These noisy and dusty textures come from an unlikely place. You know these little plastic pockets in billfolds to hold extra credit and ID cards? Well, now you know.
I've had that leather billfold for a while. It's old, and all worn out (see crtv.mk/sYYa for leather textures extracted from that billfold). It's been at the bottom of countless pockets and bags. And it has accumulated a lot of dirt, dust, and other lint particles.
I pulled out these little plastic pockets, cut them down in flat "sheets," and scanned them at very high resolution (on average 5250x7400 pixels @ 2400 dpi). These textures are the result of that scanning process.
The pack contains 4 variations of each textures:
- Black speckles on black (JPGs)
- Black speckles on transparent background (PNGs)
- White speckles on black (JPGs)
- Transparent speckles on black (PNGs)
Put them on Screen or Multiply, and noise things away. Add a specific color overlay, and add subtle speckles to your backgrounds. Paste them in your layer masks for subtle weathering.
Introducing The Shop's third set of vector textures!
This set is the tool you'll need if you want to create subtle vector speckling. The thirty (30) textures, patiently hand-generated, scanned, and digitized will provide you with an extended range of options to address your speckling needs, from subtle to dense.
Additionally, as these are vector based, they benefit from unlimited scalability.
A little of technical data:
- Thirty (30) textures in vector format (Ai and EPS CC 2015, CS6, CS3, CS, and PDF)
- Sized to fit an 18"x24" canvas @300 ppi
- Bonus: transparent PNG versions
- Bonus: vintage color combinations, inspired by 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s packaging & posters
The set is now available at The Shop, my Creative Market store: crtv.mk/s0IAb
Finally, a quick reminder that there are two other sets of vector textures in the same vein:
- Vector noise textures volume 01: crtv.mk/a027c
- Vector noise textures volume 02: crtv.mk/j09K3
- Vector noise textures volume 03: crtv.mk/s0IAb
Remember the Asphalt markings textures volume 01? Well, meet the new addition to the family. They were captured during a driving break on the way from Cleveland, OH, to Goshen, IN.
These 39 new textures are perfect for backgrounds, distressing, and more. As opposed to the first pack, these were taken on a parking lot that was in better shape, so the markings aren't as faded as before. They feature grunge artifacts that range from subtle to nuclear.
Some of the textures have been edited through Photoshop CC for color correction only. They are sized ar 3264 x 2448 pixels
