Oh yeah... sure... they're great to chop up, blend, distort, burn and fade. They're ideal for turning granny into a Night of the Living Dead extra or transforming a Fairy Castle into a Gothic Tower of unimaginable terror... or if you're squeamish, you can use them to simply antique your favourite woodland snapshot and create a darkroom masterpiece...

Textures as design resources seem to find their way into virtually every graphic artists armory at one time or another...

All well and good.

But... have you ever stopped and appreciated one as a piece of artwork in it's own right? I do... all the time... I sit there and think how much I want it on my wall... how I want to caress it's rusty flakes and nuzzle into it's musty cobweb strewn fissures... I...

NB. Before proceeding PLEASE remember these images are NOT stock! Please respect these guys as photographers... :)

they are gorgeous! i am in love with the colors and i think a good texture makes me go all giddy <3 i feel this way about them maybe especially because i appreciate photography from the mind of someone who doesnt photograph. but maybe it stems from watercolor and my hunt for good textured papers.

There is certainly a synergy between much of the painted abstract art I love, and these.
