1.) first use something like google to find an image thats pretty dirty/messy
2.) then select a small portion of the picture that you think will be a cool grunge brush
i will use this one:

3.) copy that and make it a new thing in photoshop
4.) click luminosity on the layer properties: (after that it should be grey/whiteish)

6.) do the same thing but this time with these settings:
