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.


These brushes can be used for prints. You don't need to note me and ask.

They are available for commercial or non-commercial usage.

You may make my brushes into GIMP brushes and redistribute them. But if you do so, it is required that you provide a link back to my website (www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com), so that they may know where the original brush set came from.

If you use one of my brushes/stock, please credit me somewhere. You may do so as www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com, redheadstock, or Stephanie Shimerdla. Also, if possible, provide a link back here or to my website (www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com). I do understand that in some commercial applications, it is not always easy to do this. Just do whatever you can.

Please do not re-package any of the brushes contained in any of the sets and attempt to pass them off as your own!

That's it! Enjoy!

** When sending me notes about having used something, do NOT leave the message on my front page! I won't get it!


Here are a few of my favorite deviations from the last week or so, where my brushes, patterns, etc. were used! If you don't send me a link to your stuff, you obviously can't be featured. So, make sure you send me links! (The main page is NOT the best place for that, btw... the easiest spot is in the comments of the brush set(s) you used or a note!)

Some of these will be stuff that a lot of people may have already seen, but I'm going to try to feature at least a few each time that are definitely underappreciated, in hopes of getting them a few more views! Here they are, in no particular order:
