One other thing you might want to try is finding a bitmap/png of something with a lot of texture like concrete or a brick wall. Use potrace on it in a black and white high contrast mode to generate the scribbles of Nicu's tut. You can really get some interesting effects this way but it depends on the original bitmap/png and how much you're will to fiddle with potrace.

You may be able to achieve a distressed look by following the rubber stamp tutorial by Nicu.
