I'm not really sure if it has a real name, I'm assuming you mean the flat panels of color with minimal lines.
The look for this originated in the 1940/50s when UPA (google it if you aren't familiar) branched off and started to rebel against the Disney corporation during the animator's strike. They began to simplify the animation/illustration process and followed suit with the modernist movement in fine arts.
There's a nice little blog with some more info on this: [link]

Thanks for looking! Hope you didn't mind the history lesson, haha

Thanks! The textures are done in Photoshop, I just get a large photo of the texture I want and set the layer as an Overlay or Soft Light, depending on what looks better, and mess around with the opacity and fill option. Sometimes to get the colors to blend better I go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and pull around on the three slider bars til it looks right
I take a lot of my own pictures for textures, but CGTextures.Com is a great resource also
By the way, thanks for stopping by my page. I love your work!
