SPACETIME Wallpaper Competition
September 25, 2009 // SPACETIME + The Desktop Wallpaper Project

As many of you saw the other day, I teamed up with the wonderful folks over at Poketo on a project called SPACETIME. We worked with Cody Hudson, Mike Perry, Damien Correll and Andy Miller on a line of wall decals, wallets and t-shirts and they came out amazing.

So I wanted to give you the chance to win some of these goodies. But instead of just giving them away, I’m going to make you work for it, so here’s the deal: I want you to create a SPACETIME inspired desktop wallpaper. You can do anything you like, just as long as it seems space-y or time-y. There’s going to be 1 Grand Prize winner, who will win one set of wall decals, the t-shirt of your choice and the wallet of your choice. There will also be 2 runners who will get to choose a wallet of their liking.

Please send all submissions to thefoxisblack@gmail.com with the subjecy “SPACETIME Wallpaper Competition”. All submissions should be sent as JPGs and sized to 1920px x 1200px. Failure to do so may disqualify you, unless your wallpaper is totally rad.

The deadline for the project is October 6th, which is a little under two weeks, and the winners will be announced on October 7th, when their wallpapers will be released as a part of the Desktop Wallpaper Project for that week. Sound good?

The Desktop Wallpaper Project: SPACETIME Special Edition
September 23, 2009 // SPACETIME + The Desktop Wallpaper Project







Well it’s Wednesday as well, so this week we have special edition SPACETIME wallpapers from the SPACETIME artists, Cody Hudson, Mike Perry, Damien Correll and Andy Miller. Of the four only Cody hasn’t created a wallpaper for the DWP before, but the other guys have and it’s awesome to get yet another awesome desktop from them.

The desktop wallpapers this week were images used as a part of the SPACETIME Collection, so no only can you stick/wear/stow these designs, you can have them up on your computer. And depending upon your style, you can go simple with either Cody or Mike’s designs, or be a little more adventurous with Damien or Andy’s vibrant wallpapers.

There are even more amazing wallpaper coming up in the next couple months, so be sure to check back next week for more digital goodies!

The Desktop Wallpaper Project by Ian O’Phelan
September 16, 2009 // The Desktop Wallpaper Project


This is definitely one of the most beautifully, phallic wallpapers I’ve ever seen. Maybe I just have the mind of a 13 year old boy, but nonetheless it’s a beautiful wallpaper and extremely well done. It was made by Ian O’Phelan, a Los Angeles based illustrator who does the most incredible patterns. The pattern section on his site is absolutely stunning and should definitely be checked out if you have any kind of interest in the area.

I’m guessing that the creatures you see are all underwater beasties, but don’t they kind of look like spores as well? It’s funny because I’m listening to a new song off of Sufjan Steven’s The BQE Soundtrack and it totally fits with this wallpaper, very ethereal and unreal feeling. Give it a download and check back next week for a new wallpaper.

The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Mickey Duzyj
September 3, 2009 // The Desktop Wallpaper Project


Hey everyone! This week’s wallpaper is by one of my favorite artists out there, Mickey Duzyj. Working in Brooklyn, Mickey has this really clean and simple style but has a way of using colors that really make his work pop and come to life.

For his wallpaper he sent me this classic image of his. Snarling greyhounds ripping down a race track, vying to win the race. There’s something so tense and amazing about this piece that totally grabs me. I love the look on the dogs faces, they look so damn intense! Enjoy these and be sure to check back next week!

The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Telegramme
August 20, 2009 // The Desktop Wallpaper Project


Sorry for the late posting of the wallpaper this week! I decided to play hooky and eat Japanese food and see District 9. This week’s wallpaper comes from some old chums of mine, Chris and Robert, who are the duo behind British design firm Telegramme. These guys have been busting out posters and illustrations left and right since they graduated and their success just keeps going. Their work is full of life and color and I think they’ll both be doing even greater work in the future.

For their wallpaper they offered up an homage to simpler times, of broken computers and pencil cases. I love all the details to this wallpaper, and the colors really set this off beautifully. Definitely a beautiful and well-crafted wallpaper.
