The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Josh Cochran
Posted: July 16, 2008 // The Desktop Wallpaper Project
Hey everyone, it’s Wednesday, new DWP, YAY! I had late start this morning, so I apologize for the tardiness! Anywho, this weeks artist is one of my favorite illustrators out there right now. He’s always extremely consistent, has an amazing knack for colors, and until recently was a fellow Angeleno! The fellow I’m talking about is the awesome Josh Cochran! I’ve been a big fan of Josh for a while now, I’ve posted about him on a couple of occasions, and going through his work always makes me happy. He also has a killer print shop with a ton of great stuff for sale, something to definitely check out.
As you can see in the wallpaper above, he didn’t screw around, bringing some serious detailed loveliness to the piece. As per usual, I’m not really sure what’s happening, but there’s a dude photographing some cosmic rays while trying to eat a sandwich, the dude in back is getting really old, really fast, the guy on the right is barfing, there are some space jellys floating around, a flux capacitor at the top… so much awesome stuff! Josh is going to be releasing a print of the wallpaper in the coming months, so when it’s available I’ll be sure to let you all know!
I’m also only releasing this in a few sizes, it would be silly to cut off anything. So if you have a smaller monitor, simply make the background black and make it look like a letterbox movie, got it? But you also get three iPhone wallpapers, so choose which chunk you like best!
I also wanted to throw another mention out about the DESKTOP BATTLE! I have about a dozen entries so far, but the month is already half over, so be sure to get your entries to me by July 27th at midnight! If you need the entry info again or have no idea what I’m talking about, click here! I also have next months “sponsor” lined already as well, and I think you’ll be equally excited by what you can win!
