Inksplash started to develop in one weekend while I was just relaxing and having nice time with my wife and her parents at their summer summerhouse. I found this old 70's newspaper that had already turned yellowish and sooo grungy. I had my DSLR with me and I started to macro shoot on this newspaper and got some awesome textures and detailed inks. I took that newspaper with me into my office and took more macros on it. Then I tweaked those images in Photoshop before tracing them in Illustrator. Then I expanded some dividers, textures and ink edges to turn them in to one-click graphic styles so it would be easy to recreate this old newspaper grungy ink look in a second. I'm pretty happy with the result :)
