The Gallery of Weird Textures

At iStock, I've collected (so far) 445 very cool textures. Not my own, but a wide collection of other submitters. I'm not talking about general grunge here, but textures that brings your mind to far away planets. Real Science Fiction stuff. If you look for something special, then start here!

The Metal Texture

If there's one picture that has surprised me, then it's this one. It's my top seller at iStock (333dls with flames and all), at Stockxpert too and when I finally uploaded it to Shutterstock recently it became an instant top seller there too. (It's not my top seller at Dreamstime, however, because they ironically didn't think it was fit for stock. Such is the world of stock photo.)
