TextureWarehouse is back! After several months under reconstruction, Texturewarehouse.com is back online. Featuring hundreds of free, high-resolution texture images distributed under a creative commons license, the folks at TextureWarehouse have worked hard to get the textures you need for your design needs. Whether you’re designing websites, 3D models, or graphics featuring highly textured elements, you can find what you need at TextureWarehouse. Have something they don’t? Feel free to submit your texture images for the greater use of other designers.

One of Stockvault’s sister sites, www.texturepacks.net just got a nice and moody makeover. Bjorgvin has been working on the new design for the past couple of weeks, trying to illustrate how one can use all those excellent textures when designing websites.  If you’re not sure what the site is all about, it’s basically a mini stock photo site where you can buy high resolution texture images in packs of 25. The textures can be used for both personal and commercial work. Highly Recommend!
