I think I’ve gotten the pears out of my system and inspired by the robots my fantastically talented nephew-esque friend Athos drew when he was three years old I thought I’d lay my first AthosBots desktop on ya. Graphite and watercolor. Hopefully more to come as I get warmed up. Enjoy.
If the tv coverage of the Beijing Olympics has given you a taste for exotic calligraphy and ink painting, now’s the time to flip through Arabesque Graphics’ stunning collection of Arab and Persian design. Its wide scope takes it all in from calligraphy to fine art to graphic design and street art, and will leave you seriously considering downloading the accompanying fonts.
Frustration with one project = new frivolous desktop. Enjoy.
another desktop for you all to enjoy. download it here.
I finally broke down and got an iPhone, and well… it’s pretty damn sweet. So, I spent an afternoon with some designs I’ve been working on and converted them into iPhone wallpapers. Eventually the designs will be sold as note cards but you can get them here for free because you are such loyal and talented redblackbrown readers.
The idea behind the designs by the way is that they represent interpersonal relationships as abstract graphics that interact with each other and that human interaction I envision in my imagination helps drive the design. The other goal was to have them be strongly asymmetrical but still balanced through the use of color, size and arrangement. Hence the name for the series: Balanced Asymmetry. I won’t share anything about the relationships as I see them but leave that to your own imagination since they are meant to be open to interpretation. Or not. There are seven so far and you can also just download them to enjoy as surface design and leave it at that.
It was time to switch up the desktop today, so here’s a little monster for your desktops.
