Anyone know what these are called and where I could find some? Thanks!

Those look to me like dyed muslin. One source: http://www.fjwestcott.com/backgrounds/muslin

The wrinkles come from how you store them (bunched into a bag). Many people make their own. I'm sure google will come up with some instructions.

Here's one source (who also have many other types of backdrops) - Dead Link Removed

and - http://www.dennymfg.com/Products.aspx?PTId=bb4f9904-5363-4151-926b-5fb6ab04dd88

There are ways to make them yourself, too. I haven't really had room to do it, so have purchased a few from each of those linked companies.

Get a sheet at the thrift store or Big Box store of the colour you desire, throw it in the washer, splash some bleach randomly on it (if you like that look), wash, remove, wad it up and let it dry.

There are few ebay sellers who offer a wide range of painted and/or printed canvas and muslin backdrops. Here's one example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-X-20-ft-...Backdrop-Background-blue-purple-/111676360111

Or you could just create your own custom backdrop at http://www.photopiebackdrops.com/custom-backdrops/

I am offering up the suggestion, look for Quilting supplies. Cloth from the "fabric store" is about 60 inches at most. Cloth from quilting supply can be twice that with. You can have the backdrop 8 to 10 feet by however many yards you wish to purchase. Make your own backdrops?

Good luck

I got such a backdrop at a large camera store.
