Urban Jungle is a collection of photographic textures of decaying inner city elements. Originally a commercial collection, these textures are now considered low resolution for mainstream games so I pulled it from sale in 2009. The textures should still be good for many indie or web based projects so I'm releasing them here under full public domain license.

Amazing, will most useful.
Really, I like them. Exactly what people want for a city texture pack.
One remark, I don't know whether the grafity falls under copyright law.
Nice collection indeed! Thanks for sharing it!
That's a good point about the graffiti. The photos were taken twelve years ago and as I recall they were all "illegal" graffiti installations, all public spaces, nothing commercially sanctioned by the property owners and none marked with copyright symbols. Ultimately I followed the Wikimedia Commons advice:
"Photographs of graffiti have long been allowed on Commons. As artistic works, copyright in graffiti will theoretically belong to the original artist. However, in many cases the artist is unknown, proof of authorship of the art is problematic, and, some believe, the artist would have difficulty enforcing their copyright since that would require a court to uphold the validity of an illegal act as the basis for damages or other relief against a third party."
There is one graffiti image in this collection that has the Ren & Stimpy characters, that could fall under trademark law. While I've never been contacted about having it in this collection it's worth being aware of it.
Thanks for the great comments!
Congrats! These textures will probably help many 3D artists spicing up their models with addtional grungy details and thus this is now featured in the "Really Useful Art"-collection!
This is an awesome collection! I've used parts of it in 'Epical' a scifi like campaign in battle for wesnoth, as it allowed me to create new terrains (such as streets, metalgrounds and buildings) and I also advertised your collection.
