Incorporating Organic Artistic Textures (plus freebies!)
It’s become a fairly common practice to use photographs of rust, wood, metal, concrete and dirty surfaces as a means to bring texture into designs and illustrations via photoshop layers. There are a ton of great images to be found online, both free and for a fee. And of course you can always grab a [...]
Free Vector T-Shirts and Sneaker
Today I have another little goodie for you; a set of vector t-shirts and a Vans Half-Cab shoe (my personal favorite from Vans, as far as the design of the shoe goes; though you generally always see me in my checkered slip-ons because they’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn). The shirts can be [...]
Photoshop Tutorial: Vinyl Album
The other day I had an idea for a poster design that involved a vinyl record. I thought about taking a photo of one of my own records, like I had done for this cd packaging I designed last year
but I had previously had issues with too much noise in the image (time for a [...]
Free Textures for April 21
Yep more free grunge textures. I have lots and lots of these. Aside from the free ones, and the 80 premium textures I have for sale here, I probably have another 200 or so sitting on my hard drive waiting for a home. I’ll continue to upload them here as time permits. Between the dayjob [...]
Rock & Roll Photoshop Brushes
After thinking about doing this for a while, I finally sat down and made my first set of photoshop brushes. I give you, the Rock and Roll Brush Set! These were taken from photographs of my own gear, so it’s all 100% brand new, never before seen photoshop brushes. The brushes were created in CS2 [...]
Free Images
Well, I had the intention to write a new tutorial and make some photoshop brushes for you this weekend, but it would appear that my allergies and sinuses had different plans for me, and I didn’t get much of anything done. To make up for it, I have eight free high res images for you [...]

Another Free Texture
I went out on a little photography trip today, and came back with lots of great textures. I’m working now on putting together a set of them to give away, and another set to sell, as well as some photoshop brushes. I plan to have those ready for you tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s a [...]
New focus for What Noisy Cats Are We
It’s been quite some time since I made a post… sorry. I was keeping up with the older version of the blog pretty well for a couple of years, but it seems I’ve fallen far, far behind. Part of the reason for this is that I work a lot more now, both at my “real” [...]
So much good music, so little time to post
The other day I got a real treat; The Mugs sent me a copy of their upcoming album Here Tomorrow, and it’s just incredible. I’m already a fan of the Mugs and wrote about them in the previous incarnation of this blog (you can find their free ep Daisy Cutter here, I highly recommend it). [...]
Sleepy Demons - Dog Days
Sometimes I go actively searching for new music. I get tired of the stuff I’m listening to every day, and I’ll just peruse the music blogs or myspace hoping to find something that really gets me going. And other times, the music finds me, takes me completely by surprise. This is the kind I [...]
