Darren Whittington Illustration

On the hunt for textures!

I’ve been hunting down various textures lately to use as backdrops to illustrations but also to create new filters in Illustrator/Photoshop CS4.

This Flickr slide show will grow as I find more but to start with there’s some really lovely bark textures from a fallen tree that I found on the coast path from Flushing, Cornwall, stone patterns from one of the oldest Churches in the UK at Mylor Harbour, and just to add a bit of distance there’s also a collection of textures found whilst I was in London last week: paint stripping of the Diesel shop front in Carnaby Street and the rust from underneath of Miroslaw Balka’s box of darkness in the Tate Modern.

Search and ye shall find! :)
