You shall never lack for an interesting backdrop on your computer, thanks to Bobby Solomon of Kitsune Noir. I’ve long been a fan of Bobby’s blog and his Desktop Wallpaper Project is no exception. It completely elevates the idea of a computer background into art, and every week features another awesome illustrator or designer. Bobby’s been at this awhile so there is a decent archive of work to pick through as well. Seriously, dude brought in some big guns here. Here’s a few of my favorites.
Post Family member Chad Kouri’s collage wallpaper stands out particularly because it’s a series of three different images on a timer so they fade in and out from each other. Plus, the friendly reminder to get off The Internets and get yourself to work is funny too. Download wallpaper here.
Mel Kadel is a top-notch illustrator/artist and I chose her wallpaper not only because I dig her style, but it is all hand-drawn, and was not mechanically mirrored on the computer. Take a look at full size and you’ll see what I mean. This girl is dedicated, no?
Micah Lidberg, another crazy prolific illustrator with some unreal work. His particular style seems really unique to me and there’s a really nice mix of both color and pattern. There’s a great piece by him in the most recent issue of GOOD Magazine as well. Download Micah’s wallpaper here.
Christopher Bettig is one of those dudes that manages to pull of great work across multiple media. Design, Illustration, clothing, fabric, collage, painting…Like there’s really nothing he can’t do! I like this collage wallpaper he did as well; it manages to to feel folksy and modern at the same time. Further, it’s reminiscent of another inspiring dude I know, Cody Hudson.
