Wallpaper 001

Alright, I’ve finally gotten around to offering a desktop wallpaper of my own. There was a time when I loved to make my own custom wallpapers, but those days seem so far gone. Now I just stick to whatever simple default image I can find. Sure I’ve done some for clients here and there, but I’ve never made one just for you my loyal readership. So, I did it, I made a new wallpaper just for you, okay it’s for me, but you can have it too. This all came about while I was waiting for my laundry to get done last night. I was just screwing around with my tablet, feeling all inspired and shit from yesterday’s post about Andrew Jone’s cover art for the new Soulfly album. First I was playing with Alchemy a bit, which is a fun little piece of software, but you don’t get the full effect without a mic, so I shelved it for the time being. Then I opened up everyone’s favorite app, Photoshop, and just started using random homemade brushes with tweaked out settings. You know, just pulling out shapes to see what I got. Once I found the foundation of the image, I threw in some vector shapes for texture—drawn with BittBox brushes. Ta-da, a 1280×1024 treat for all the boys and girls.
