Grunge Obsessed...

[Calvin#1]

Hey, I've all of a sudden gotten really into the grunge style of art. I've been searching everything I can with google about grunge, but I know that there are always those really good sites that you miss that others know about. If you have any links to grunge tutorials, brushes, etc. please post them here! I would really like to get my hands on anything I can read! Thanks! :)

also just use ton's of grunge brushes on a layer above what you want to dirty up, play with blending modes for diff. effects. Darken, Multiply and Hardlight are sometimes nice... screen can be good for a bleaching effect.

Machine Wash FIlters can be used for a retro kind of grunge feel.

also look at the photographic work of Joel Peter Witkin... all done with traditional darkroom methods, negative slicing, cutting, vaseline on the lense etc... extremely dark and morbidly beautiful work.
