August Wallpaper

Hoping that ‘better late than never’ applies to this month’s desktop wallpaper.

Thank you all for your patience, and your inquiries about the August wallpaper. It’s encouraging to see that folks anticipate updating their desktop with my collages.

You’ll notice that this month I’ve gone somewhat minimal, and I haven’t included any animals, insects, birds or fish. I’ve also decided to display the month’s name as the digits it represents. I love the forms of the ’0′ and ’8′, and how they play against one another. Part of the fun of these is making each one of them so different.

There is some concern that the ’08′ will confuse folks into thinking it’s 2008. I welcome any feedack on this issue. It’d be great to hear if it tricks you or if you like it. Feel free to comment below. Also, if you like it, please blog about it or share with your friends. There are some links below that will help make sharing easier. Since I’m late getting this up I’ll need extra help spreading the word. Thanks, again!

UPDATE: I’ve started a Flickr group for photos of the wallpapers in use. Please contribute!

    Thank you for keeping them coming, always a delight, and always get people asking where I got them.

    Nice work (again)! Nice, lush ocean blue. This could have multi-tasked for all months in 2008.

    Thanks, gentlemen.

    Scott, in thirty years when you go back in time, hit up 2008, and show em the good stuff.

    This is nice, but I’m not ready to give up Movers and Shakers yet.

    Wait… what year is this??

    Beka, I love that you are using Movers and Shakers!

    OMG How have I not seen this yet. My apologies. The shape reminds me of the state of Texas. This is perfect. Thank you.
