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.

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:

I wanted to do something spacey/sci-fi because it’s something we haven’t really done.  I started thinking about what a captain’s journal might look like if it wasn’t explicitly limited to just handwritten text.  What if it was sort of like a cross between a journal and an iPad (or, as Steven Fry noted, the closest thing, thus far, to a real, live Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy).  What I had in mind was something that was both futuristic and retro, and with that in mind, I designed Captain’s Log…

This is the first time, also, that we’ve included a wallpaper for an iPad/tablet (of course, it was never really an issue before since they previously didn’t exist).  Time will tell if this becomes a regular inclusion but, given the booklike nature of the design, we included two different iPad wallpapers and two different iPhone wallpapers (as well as calendar and non-calendar versions of each).  Captain’s Log is available in the following resolutions:
