New TextureKing Design

TextureKing — Sat, 08 Feb 2014 03:04:38 +0000

Well, it’s been quite some time since TextureKing last saw a little design love — well over three years. This latest iteration of the site is fully responsive so you can now view the site and free textures on your favorite device. If you happen to notice anything odd, please send me a note via email or Twitter. Thanks!

December 2013 Update: 30 New Textures Added

TextureKing — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 18:45:26 +0000

Again, it’s been forever since the last update, but we’ve got one now. Thirty new free textures have been added to the site for your downloading enjoyment. And we’ve decided to go even bigger than the last update. This latest batch of images are all 3000+ pixels in width — and slightly larger in file size as a result of course. Enjoy!

30 New Free Stock Textures Added

TextureKing — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:34:27 +0000

It’s been aeons since that last time this site has been updated with new textures. Hopefully, it won’t be that long until the next batch of images arrive. Today, I’ve uploaded 30 new textures ranging in topic from stone/rock to plastic to wood. Oh, and I’ve upped the dimensions of the latest batch as well. This latest batch are all 2000 pixels in width. Enjoy!

October Stock Update

TextureKing — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:06:03 +0000

Twelve new free textures have been added to the site in the wood, concrete and stone/rock categories. It’s a small update, but it’s good to have a little life on the site as well as fresh options for you to choose from. Thanks.

February Stock Photos

TextureKing — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 14:41:08 +0000

I’ve uploaded eight new textures this morning just to try and get back into the groove of taking pictures of interesting textures. The images range from tiled floors to leather to wood, so there’s a pretty wide array of styles in only eight uploads. Be on the look out for more new free textures as the year progresses.

TextureKing Redesign

TextureKing — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 15:51:33 +0000

It’s been a while in the making, but after a few years with the same design/layout, TextureKing has a new, more modern facade utilizing some CSS3 goodness (sorry older IE users, you’re experience won’t be perfect). I’ve updated the navigation so that it should be easier to use and browse across the site. I’ve also opted to use Amazon’s S3 hosting service for all the textures. Load times, appear to be ok, but if you run into any issues, please feel free to send an email or follow TextureKing on Twitter.

I’ve also been working on another round of textures. Those should be up and available in the next week or so. Thanks!

Quick Update

TextureKing — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:10:02 +0000

Man, it’s been quite some time since there has been any signs of life on TextureKing. Well, as luck would have it I’ve been pushed into action due to an attack on the site. I’ve updated the site’s version of WordPress and as a result, things may be a little wonky for a bit. It’s also given me a renewed focus on the site’s overall experience and design. Be on the look out for changes coming soon.

Ding Dong the ZIP is Dead

TextureKing — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:26:32 +0000

That’s right folks! TextureKing has finally gotten rid of the dreaded .zip file for the larger images. Now, any time you click on a thumbnail or “download” link you get to see that larger image immediately — without the extra step(s) of unzipping another file. Now, it should be easier than ever to find the right free stock texture you need. Enjoy!

TextureKing Homepage Updated

TextureKing — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:41:16 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I get tired of seeing the same “Recent Addition” stock photo on the homepage between updates. So, I’ve altered the code to randomly pull a stock photo from the repository and display it as a “Featured Texture” so you get to see a different free texture each time you come to the homepage.

18 New Free Photos

TextureKing — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:23:56 +0000

Just a quick update to the list of free stock photos. I’ve added 18 new images to the site ranging from concrete, grunge to plastics and wood. Enjoy!
