Break Away Paint & Plaster Faux Finishes
I love this look! It can be done with both paint and/or plaster. Here are a few examples that I have come across over the internet.

This is a gorgeous finish and it was only done with paint, made to look as if the wall has cracked away to reveal a soft colorwash finish underneath. ART EFFECTS did an awesome job! Click Here to read about their step by step process of how they achieved this beautiful finish.
They also offer some cute faux painter's designed T-shirts at http://www.getfauxed.com/
