Rural TEXTURES: Alaska
We had so much fun with the last textures post that on a recent trip to Alaska and Vancouver Island we couldn’t stop thinking about how the texture of a place should be unique and special. Texture should tell you something about the people, the place, the weather… and Alaska didn’t let us down. In addition to taking in some visual eye candy – consider how your favorite places have textures all their own.

Looks like a fun trip – what’s with all the fur?

It looks like it would be quite difficult to get the close up of bear fur and seal intestine, although that’s just the ingenuity of come to expect from the build blog.

Very interesting research, the thumbnails are inspiring, there’re many stories hidden there. Keep the good work flowing!

brilliant – reminds me of recent work from Jason Payne… obsessed with fur, thatched roofs and more fur. http://www.hirsuta.com

The Anchorage Museum affords some closeups of fur due to their extensive taxidermy collection – really well done.

@ Ryan H – really like that hirsuta site, we’ll have to work that into a post at some point.
