i think it would be real cool

To me, those images don't appear to have random textures.

It appears that each of those lines where placed in by hand (manually, that is), and then colored with various coloring techniques.-although I could be wrong. Try making sparatic lines, geometric shapes, etc, then take some grungy brushheads and use them in the eraser. Erase random parts of the image (with varying levels of eraser opacity). Also, use several stock images cropped in seemingly random ways, vary the opacity of the level, and apply your "texture" (from above) to the top of the image layers (or however you want to do it).

There are many ways to get the effects you are looking for. If you want to see an artist who makes some darned fine art in that fashion, try this URL:
