Bean Hollow is a rocky beach on the California coast near Pescadero.  It’s an awesome place for climbing on rocks and checking out tidepools that isn’t overrun with people.  We didn’t post a new wallpaper last month, because we were too busy going to beaches like this along Highway 1, so we thought we would share a tiny bit of that with this grungy wallpaper for your desktop, laptop, phone or tablet.  As always, this wallpaper is available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-ShareAlike license in the following resolutions:

I was working on an esoteric website design when I stumbled across this awesome cat.  So, obviously we needed to put this cat in space, right?  Am I right? This wallpaper has a little bit of everything for texture lovers, sci-fi geeks and fans of surrealism.  But the star of the wallpaper is, of course, the cat, with an expression that says “don’t make me hurt you.”  The wallpaper is presented in standard, widescreen, iPhone and iPad sizes under a Creative Commons License in the following resolutions:

The weather here in Salt Lake City has been a little crazy.  We’ll have sun for a few days, then — suddenly — it snows.  In the morning, the snow from the previous night melts slowly off the new flowers as the birds sing and make nests in the trees.  In short, it’s Spring.  And we thought we’d share the joy of Spring with a wallpaper that reflected the season.  This wallpaper features some tulips from our garden on a marbled rock texture.  As always, we have resolutions for standard, widescreen, and i-devices.

This month’s calendar wallpaper is my favorite in a while.  It combines grungy textures, a photo negative look, and a mysterious figure in the foreground that creates a narrative within the image.  It comes in calendar and non-calendar versions in all your favorite sizes for full screen & wide screen monitors, iPhone, iPad and Twitter.

I’d be lying if I said that this month’s calendar wallpaper wasn’t at least a little bit inspired by Franz Jeitz aka Fudgegraphics.  I thought we’d kick off the new year with a minimalist, typographic design that incorporates one of our snow textures.  This wallpaper is a calendar-only wallpaper, but we’ve got it in a wider variety of sizes including PSP.

This month’s wallpaper comes out of a long-exposure shot I took sometime in the pre-dawn hours a couple months ago.  As I was staring at my computer screen  at more or less the same time, it seemed an appropriate start for a new wallpaper.  The zip file includes high quality widescreen, standard screen, iPhone and iPad wallpapers in the following resolutions:

We just got back from a camping trip where we spent several days in a tent, surrounded by redwood trees. It’s easy to forget there’s a world outside our computer monitor sometimes, a world with only the noise of water dripping onto leaves and gentle breezes, a world that isn’t divided into pixels and margins. It’s important, sometimes, to take a step away from the blue haze of our monitors and step into the real world just to keep our own sanity.

Last month’s wallpaper(s) seemed to be a hit, so I decided to do another one in the same vein.  The zip file includes high quality widescreen, standard screen, iPhone and iPad wallpapers in the following resolutions:
