Digital Collage Experiments

I’ve been drawing, painting, tearing and scanning a variety of textures to make digital collages.

I spent a long time retouching scanned torn paper, then I layered and arranged them into colourful collage backgrounds like this.

I’m looking forward to experimenting with some more varied colour combinations now I’ve thoroughly explored the monochrome palette options. These will be for sale within my stock image offerings.

Arty Background Textures

I’ve been using a variety of media to produce my background textures. I love the effect I can get from high resolution scanned pencil lines. I produced two simple striped textures, one in pencil, and one inverted to look like chalk lines on a blackboard. These are for sale in my image collection on Shutterstock.
