The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Nik Daum
July 9, 2008 // The Desktop Wallpaper Project








Good morning and happy Wednesday! It’s gray and chilly here in LA, so hopefully it’s nicer out wherever you are. This week I decided to bust out the big guns, giving you three wallpapers to choose from, thanks to the wonderful Nik Daum. It’s funny because Nik seems like such an oddity to me, and I mean that in a really good way. He’s probably one of the funniest designers out there, as you can totally tell when you visit his site, but he’s also one of the most talented, doing some amazing work for clients like Old Spice, HP, and Jamba Juice. One of my absolute favorite things he did were these t-shirts for Old Spice, including one that reads, “My other shirt is a boat”, haha…

Now he’s hooked us up with three great wallpapers, all in totally different styles to fit your mood. The first is a trio of highlighter birds of paradise, to take you away from the drudgery of your work day. The second completely illustrates the how crappy your work day is and how you’re all going to die soon, and the third is deep and dark and reminds me of an old Russian cartoon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do, I pretty much freaked out when I saw them.

Also be sure to keep on sending in your DESKTOP BATTLE! entries as well! I’ve gotten quite a few, but I still need a lot more! And be sure to check back next week for another awesome wallpaper.

  7. Hey, great wallpapers, I dl them all.
    About Nik, I checked out the t-shirts and loved the “chest hair” one. I laughed much.
