It's easy to find fantastic textured folds, creases and edges when browsing in second-hand shops, and they really add to the aesthetic of a design. Now, you can easily add on the years to enhance the retro realism of your work - both design and illustrations - with this set of hyper-realistic brushes.

The screen-shots really capture the opportunities for impact these brushes offer; all of the borders, creases and folds plus the texture on the rocket, moon and rocket blast were created using the brushes.

Here's a short video showing how it works - https://vimeo.com/141401203

All of the below are included, making this a one-stop vintage toolkit:

15 Grunge Edge Brushes & 6 Short Grunge Edge Brushes.

These are ideal for creating grunge frames and borders and are re-sizable so are a lot more flexible than the static equivalent. They are also really effective as grunge edging on illustrations and designs - just take a look at the rocket preview.

21 Fold and Crease Brushes. -

Perfect for adding vintage creases and folds to designs.

6 BONUS Book Cloth Edge Brushes.

Just lovely texture - good for texture shading or for adding a retro edge to designs.
