Sigmaman.com lives

I have decided to consolidate my blogs. So, from now on, you can check out sigmaman.com for all your Mitch Featherston stuff. Yes, I know... so exciting! :-)

The move makes sense. I need to use one site for all my online activities. For the past year or so, I have neglected this blog and Sigmaman.com, so this will help that.

Please adjust your bookmarks. There is some seriously cool stuff coming.

Public Domain Textures

Well, I've created 100 seamless textures and have decided to give them away. I was going to use a CC license, but thought these images might be better suited for public domain dedication. I have setup a seperate site to store these images.

Hope you can find a use for these images.
