(eyestrain warning for the last png/pattern, as it uses a pseudo-glitch effect)

6 patterns made in GIMP, 4 of them as PNGs, with stock images from pexels.com.

Thing is, when I got back into making stuff in GIMP, I noticed how it changed my perception of my surroundings; I now go through the world looking for inspiration or mulling over how people achieved certain effects in their art.

So it is not surprising I saw a pattern I really liked 'out in the wild' and my first thought was 'I wonder if I can create something like this in GIMP' - and yes, apparently I can. Which is awesome! So I made some mildly similar patterns.

I combined this with some effects and filters I was trying at the time, and the results were a few patterns I wanted to show/share. They should seemlessly repeat, so in theory one could use them for prints, blog backgrounds, wallpapers etc.

And ideas what other patterns I could make? Lemme know!

Glitch art made in GIMP with a free stock photo from pexels.com.

I discovered some cool effects I could get by combining different layer effects (partly by accident). The result is a bit like halftone, a bit like glitch art, but I achieved this with only a few layers - that's it.

I quite like how these came out, I couldn't really settle on one color scheme and just did a few ones to test out different options and combined them. The resulting piece reminds me a bit of Roy Lichtenstein and a bit of Andy Warhol for some reason.

I think especially the upper two color schemes are something I will go back to in other pieces of art; the upper right corner gives me some 80s/90s vibes that I really like. The upper left one is a color scheme I have used in a few other works that I will hopefully post in the future; I like calling it "Raspberry Lemonade".
