Arcane Palette Creative Design » artistic graphic design

BEST | EVER is a street art duo from Bournemouth, England.  Their work combines surrealism with photorealism and addresses issues of human frailty, weakness, disease and death.  As you can imagine, the art of BEST | EVER transcends simple graffiti with their hauntingly beautiful images.  The subversive act of applying paint to public surfaces forces you to consider that some art is too important to be confined to stuffy and claustrophobic gallery spaces.

You can see more of BEST | EVER’s work on their website or their Flickr photo stream.  You can learn more about them in this interview or follow their Tumblog.

Chris Reynolds is one half of Arcane Palette. He has a personal blog, jazzsequence, where he writes about music, technology and social media and shares links, videos, and posts various personal music and writing projects.

I’ve been wanting to play with a steampunk-themed design for a while. So, I made that the goal of this month’s design. I started out with some watch pieces and I added in some grunge textures and played with the color palette. I really like the way the end result looks like rust, and has a real gritty quality to it.  This particular design started out just experimenting with some objects and textures with no particular end goal in mind.  My original plan was to do a WordPress theme or a Blogger theme, and I may still do both, or I may do something similar but new.

This wallpaper comes in all the usual sizes, with and without calendar.  We also included a Twitter background.
