Fresh Textures

AE artist David Torno has started a new blog called MacTex, dedicated to free image textures, primarily macro images. There are some really nice images there, and kudos to David for being so willing to share.

You never know when a nice, organic, natural texture will serve as a point of departure for your creativity. I find there's something especially pleasing about natural textures that digitally generated imagery has a tough time matching. Particle generators or photoshop texture generators have their place, but using a real image as the starting point, even if it's the thing you use to let the digital filters use as a starting point, tends to lead to more pleasing results. In my opinion, of course.

BINGO! Right on the nose. Let's get away from the digital looking work and go organic or at least make things with more ummphh.

BTW, Thanks for spreading the word about my blog. :)
