Wrecking Ink. is a distress brush and texture kit built like controlled demolition for clean digital artwork. Add light dust, scratches and worn edges or push the whole piece into stained paper, torn surfaces and heavy ink breakdown.
The raster editions combine 24 handmade distress brushes with 20 high-resolution textures scanned from real paper, canvas and damaged physical surfaces at the G.A.R.M. studio. The Illustrator edition rebuilds the same idea as 8 custom vector brushes and 16 distress texture swatches for scalable artwork.
Created with Benny Gold, the kit is made to give you full control over the damage. Layer it. Mask it. Blend it. Build it slowly or tear the whole piece apart.
Use Wrecking Ink. for posters, packaging, album artwork, apparel graphics, branding, editorial layouts and anything that needs to stop looking freshly exported.
Light and dusty or loud and ruined. Your call.

Built for Artwork That Needs a Past
Use Wrecking Ink. for Vintage Print Effects, Distressed Paper, Posters, Packaging, Album Art, Apparel Graphics, Branding & Editorial Layouts.
Built From Real Damage
The textures inside Wrecking Ink. began with real paper, canvas and physical surfaces collected, worn, stained, crumpled, torn and scanned at the G.A.R.M. studio.
That source material gives the damage its uneven grain, natural discoloration, broken fibers and unpredictable edges. The marks do not feel like identical digital noise repeated across the artwork because they come from surfaces that were already imperfect.
Use a small section to break up a clean edge or spread a full texture across the composition. Stack several materials, mask sections away and keep adjusting until the wear feels like it belongs to the piece.
Think of it as controlled demolition for clean digital artwork.

About the Illustrator Edition
Adobe Illustrator uses vector brushes and swatches rather than the raster brush and texture workflow found in Procreate, Photoshop and Affinity.
The Illustrator edition adapts Wrecking Ink. into 8 custom vector distress brushes and 16 texture swatches. Use the brushes for worn lines, rough edges and distressed marks, then apply the swatches across larger shapes, lettering and layouts.
The tools remain scalable and editable inside Illustrator while keeping the scraped, broken and physically damaged character of the original source material.

Built to Break Things Properly
Clean digital artwork is easy. Convincing damage takes control.
Wrecking Ink. lets you decide exactly how far the surface should go. Brush in the damage. Layer the wear. Push the grit exactly as far as the work needs.
Keep it light with dust, scratches and softened edges. Push further into stained paper, torn surfaces and broken ink. Or keep building until the clean digital finish has been completely dismantled.
This is not a single grunge effect dropped over the artwork and left there. It is a working toolkit for shaping wear deliberately, one brushstroke, texture and mask at a time.
Light and dusty or loud and ruined. Your call.
