16 Unexpected Organic Matter Textures

Hey there, if you're new here, you may wanna grab the RSS feed for fresh stuff as soon as it's up. Enjoy your stay.

Unexpected organic matter textures — because the most tactile elements of our surroundings always come from the living, breathing world.

After last week’s static, structured geometric patterns, we’re doing a full 180 with 16 beautifully uneven and imperfect textures from the living world. As usual, zip-pack download link at the bottom.

First up, the underside of a ficus leaf. Looks almost painted, but it’s completely in-camera:
