Wrecking Ink: The Brush & Texture Distressing Kit by G.A.R.M. Co. & Benny Gold
Wrecking Ink is a collaboration between G.A.R.M. Co. and Benny Gold. It is a brush and texture distressing kit built for artists who want full control over the damage. Whether you're adding a light touch of wear or grinding your work through the wringer, Wrecking Ink gives you the tools to do it right.
What's Inside:
• 24 handmade distresser brushes
Designed for flexibility. Use them for worn edges, weathered surfaces, ink breakdowns or layout aging. From subtle to severe, they let you build up the grit at your own pace.
• 20 high-resolution textures (300 DPI)
Every texture was scanned from real paper and canvases at the G.A.R.M. studio. The set includes everything from lightly worn stock to stained, crumpled and torn sheets with tons of character. There's even a wooden plate in there. The range of tone and detail gives you total freedom over how far you push the look.
• The Wrecking Ink. Destruction Manual (PDF booklet)
A handy PDF booklet with samples of every texture in the set, keeping everything organized and easy to reference while you work.
Wrecking Ink gives you a full spectrum of distress. Light and dusty or loud and ruined. Your call.
