This week’s set is made up of all kinds of distressed images. I went all over the place looking for cracking paint, rust, drainage stains, etc. If it looked distressed, I took a picture of it! Was fun, but got me quite a few odd looks! This set is what came of it!
These work great for adding that distressed look to a wall or floor, and also work great for grunge textures.
Includes things like: rust, scratches, rusty holes, drainage stains, dirty and grungy textures, canvas holes, cracking and peeling paint, etc.
Sizes vary from about 600 (some of the smaller “rust holes”) to 2300 pixels.
I’ve also updated my “Terms of Use” page to be a bit more clear about what is an acceptable use and what is not an acceptable use of my brushes. I’m pretty understanding and giving, but taking one of my brushes and slapping it down onto a plain page all by itself and then selling it on iStockPhoto.com is NOT an acceptable use of my brushes! That’s basically the same as redistributing the brushes/images themselves. Now, if you were to use the brush(es) to make your own design, that’s just fine! Basically, your gut will tell you if it’s YOUR creation or MY creation… follow that, and you’ll be just fine. 
Most of you have been great, by the way. It’s just a select few that have made me clarify.
I’ve also added the capability to purchase a commercial license to use my brushes. If you do that, you will NOT need to credit me - you will have full rights to use the set(s) that you purchase licenses for. To find out more about commercial licenses, feel free to contact me!

sweet. Thanks so much…
I have a question. Do I have to purchase a commercial use license if I am using your brushes on an album (flattened .jpg with their images) that I make for another person? (I sell the album to them). I can’t credit you on the album (I can’t even credit my own name), but I can credit when I post up the preview on my website. I haven’t used them yet, but would like to clarify.
You are an awesome artist and I’m so glad I found your bloggie!
If you don’t NEED absolute rights to be able to use them, you don’t need to purchase a commercial license. That is basically just for bigger companies that worry about legal trouble with being able to use these kinds of things otherwise. So no, you’re fine. Wherever you can credit will be great.
WOW! These are really cool. Thanks!! I LOVE all of your brushes! You are so talented create amazing brushes!!

These are fabulous, thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
That is really not acceptable at all. I really can’t believe sometimes what is happening with things that are created (freely I might add) and not give credit where credit is do. You see that a lot in the scrap-booking business too. It makes me sad….
Thank you for continued creating the wonderful brushes…
I think some people figure nobody’ll ever notice. The WWW is just so huge, a lot of them probably do! Thanks, Iris.
