Ink art backgrounds

20 original designs, 9 free — click any one to put your own photo on it.

Ink art keeps the hand of the artist visible: pooled washes with torn edges, flowing contour lines, a restrained palette. It gives editorial pages and portfolio covers a considered, gallery-like quality — expressive enough to set a mood, quiet enough to sit behind serious typography.
