The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Cole Gerst
August 12, 2009 // The Desktop Wallpaper Project


Good Wednesday everyone! Sorry things have been quiet for a few days, I’ve been getting ready to take a trip up to Santa Cruz and San Francisco with the boyfriend for the week. Thus, ducks had to be put in a row and things needed tidying up. But, there are lots of fun things still going on, like the awesome Cole Gerst doing this weeks desktop wallpaper. Growing up in Georgia, he studied art at the Atlanta College of Art and eventually moving out to LA. Funny enough, he lives about 15 blocks away from me!

I spotted the piece above on Cole’s site and I thought it was such a rad image, and that it would make such a great wallpaper. There are so many great little details in this wallpaper, and the color is so vibrant and warming, kind of like a summers sunset.

  3. Hey, long time reader, possibly first time commenter (may have left a random comment a year ago, who knows).

    I’m not sure if you’ll even care but I just realized that the pic you display on the actual blog post fits perfectly as the background for my Blackberry Bold (http://www.twitpic.com/e6qbv).

    Another option for you readers…
