Evan Eckard - Photographer for fire department in California in the past, currently working in the online advertising and performance marketing area, and web 2.0 companies. His hobby is creating seamless patterns for web and print use. DinPattern is the home for these patterns, available for free download. I found a lot of lovely floristic patterns for my art works.

Because of the fact, that old paper textures are rather popular among dezignus visitors, today I decided to share with you very old paper image. It is a backside scan of one hundred years old photo. Great example of an old paper background! I know that there are tens of tutorials and techniques for creating similar texture, but as for me I prefer to use natural backgrounds.

Good news my friends. CGTextures is quickly becoming the number one choice for free textures/background downloading. Top quality textures and easy site navigation lets you find exactly the right texture for your art work.

The bad thing is that as long as you don’t have paid membership you can download only 15 mb per day. But know, to celebrate the 20.000th texture, all quotas was doubled until the end of 2007! And we can download 30 mb of HQ textures and backgrounds per day.

I’m regretting that I open these site only few days ago, but I’m very glad that I found it =)
