5 hi-res grunge textures made from pancakes

You might ask yourself, what kind of a stupid title is that – grunge in combination with pancakes? The idea for these textures just popped up, when I was standing in the kitchen and making…you guessed it: pancakes. I just looked at the first one I made and thought that the color and structure resembles some rust textures that you see floating around the web, so I quickly grabbed my camera and made a few shots. Crazy idea, but the results look pretty interesting in my opinion.

I hope you find those useful! Let me know what you think and maybe you can share some more unusual texture ideas in the comments. I am always open to suggestions.

    If one can just manage to overlook the ‘pancake’ part, these textures are fantastic! I was wondering, you could have just posted these textures and have asked your readers to guess where they came from. It would have been your turn to laugh at the guesses.

  6. @Ashely – that was the original plan. I will make a series of “guess that texture” posts as part of a competition to win some prizes. stay tuned.

  7. Cool!

    These look great! And soo many possibilities.
    I’m going to use #4 for a toxic waste spill 😉
