Recently, I am under a very powerful influence of modern rock, punk and hardcore bands and the artwork they use for their CDs, posters etc. (stay tuned for inspiration post on the matter, I’m preparing one very soon!), mostly because “Young Cardinals”, a single from “Old Crows / Young Cardinals”, new CD by Alexisonfire. As my readers might remember, on the flow of inspiration, I’ve created my recent wallpaper – The Blood Has Been Shed. Now, it’s time for the newest work. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with We Own The Sky, another widescreen wallpaper for your personal enjoyment!
If you like what you see, you can appreciate my work on my Behance portfolio. The full (1920×1200) version for widescreen monitors is available on my Flickr profile. As usual, if you have any comments or thoughts about this piece, drop me a comment or feel free to leave me a note on Twitter.
Few days ago, I have created a new, grungy, typography-heavy wallpaper called “The Blood Has Been Shed”. Originally, it is a widescreen (1920×1200) single screen wallpaper that has been done during my Frank Miller inspiration phase. The typography refers to the metalcore band Blood Has Been Shed which I listened to while creating this. More or less, this is just an explosion of creative juices that had to be funneled somewhere and a test, how well does VAL font perform inside an illustration.
Original (1920×1200) wallpaper is available at my Flickr page

I know I haven’t been posting desktop calendars for a while, but that was mostly because I was trying to make ends meet during the winter exam session at my univ (I tell you, working as a web designer in a company and having exams at school is pure evil). Anyway, since I passed everything at last and I have some more free time to work on my personal projects, I decided to go back to the tradition of posting desktop calendars for upcoming months. This time it’s a bit earlier than before and not posted via Smashing Magazine, but directly from my blog. Why? I have my reasons and I decided not to post my newest calendar in Smashing’s collection this month, maybe I will post a calendar for May.
Anyway, here it is, if you like it, let me know, if you don’t let me know, as always feedback is very welcome. Oh, just please don’t write that it’s too dull for spring month like April, because I suppose most calendars this month posted anywhere around will be green and jolly, so I decided to break out from the habit. ;)
P.S. There’s only 1920×1200 widescreen version available on Flickr at the moment, but it scales nicely for smaller widescreen displays and should work well with the non-widescreen displays if you center it with smart scaling, I think.
Since it’s the last day of 2008, I’m happy to announce that desktop calendar for January of 2009 is live and managed to land on the list of Smashing Magazine’s Desktop Wallpaper Calendar again. This was a quick, pure-typo work, hope you like it.
And now, I’m off to celebrate the first day of the new year. Take care and let this year be better for all of us. No matter what.

I’m happy to announce that yes, I made another desktop calendar for the wallpaper and also I’m happy to announce that – yes – just like the November one it’s featured on Smashing Magazine’s Wallpaper Desktop Calendar article.
This time, the inspiration came from aurora borealis effect that can be seen in the northern parts of the world during winter. I was lucky to see aurora borealis live during one of my trips and I must say it’s really stunning. I tried to capture the astonishing view in the wallpaper, but I’m sure that it can’t be done that easy.
Anyway, I hope you like it and it will serve you good. Feel free to drop a line in comment whenever you feel you want to leave me a comment about it or about my work in general.
