adobe illustrator - How to add detail and grit to vector graphics?


The National Poster Example http://www.dkngstudios.com/images/national.gif


Can anyone give me some tips or point me to a tutorial that can help me learn how to add details like grit and texture to vector graphics like in the above image by DKNG Studios? I assume it involves a lot of photoshop brushes and/or textures but I've been unsuccessful in finding any go-to methods.


Often with textures I find it hard to achieve the exact results I'm looking for and they can really increase my file size and make the artwork convoluted.


Brushes can be useful but I find them to work better in photoshop and it can become difficult to constantly switch between the programs, especially when trying to keep the layers straight.


I've found tutorials explaining vector halftones but still have a lot of trouble implementing them well.


Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


Pierce
