Every Paper Texture You'll Ever Need to Make Your Work Look 100% Analog
Scanned in high-resolution photographers' scanners from real archival paper, newsprint, comics, envelopes, and ephemera at 600 DPI or greater for crisp, flexible files to hold up to any situation.
These paper textures were collected from everywhere, from cluttered antique shops in San Francisco, California, to rare paper shops on cobblestone side streets in Florence, Italy.
The result is our full collection of paper textures that make easy work of turning your flat digital art into something that looks straight off a printing press from 1958 and discovered in a dusty box in your grandfather's attic in 1994.
