Grab a set of SIX great wood textures
Although this site calls it “vintage” wood textures, this set of six high quality aged wood textures is pretty good. They say “use with your vintage style designs”

Sewickley painter turns hobby into successful career
Artist Claire Hardy may be a southern California native, but you would never know it based on her oil paintings depicting Pittsburgh’s industrial past.
Hardy, a Sewickley artist who paints mostly still-life images, moved to Pittsburgh in 2001 from New Mexico, where her paintings of big blue skies sold out in Santa Fe galleries. But one of her favorite types of scenes to paint is anything depicting an old Pittsburgh steel mill, along with scenic visions from the region’s rivers and hills. Full story : triblive.com
Graphic designer, eh? More or less creatively satisfying
More than once, you’ve referred to “hipsters” and “graphic design” jobs. Is there some sort of mystical connection between hipsters and Photoshop that I didn’t get the memo on? Is that the only job suitable for hipsters other than yourself?

New Cleveland Browns Logo ‘Uninspired, Boring’: A Graphic Designer’s Take
Love it or hate it, the new Cleveland Browns logo is here, and Twitter is blowing up with mostly negative reviews.
A lot of cool fan-designed logos surfaced on the internet prior to the the new log’s unveiling, while the Browns probably paid big money to have their shade of orange darkened (reminds me of the orange from the 1980s) and a brown face mask added Full story : factoryofsadness.co
No One Takes Graphic Designers Seriously
Hollywood thinks graphic designers are idiots. Or at least that’s the impression you get from this supercut by Ellen Mercer and Lucy Streule, graphic design students at Central Saint Martins in London. The video stitches together TV and film clips of characters deriding the profession. Full story : www.fastcodesign.com
