Take a deep breath, set this as your wallpaper, and feel yourself relax. Leave a comment or link to me if you like it. Download it here in widescreen size, iPhone wallpaper coming soon.

Not too long ago I released “It’s Working,” marking the opening of a collection of wallpapers inspired by Congratulations. Here is the second piece in the series. This piece of art is based on the final part of “Siberian Breaks.”

Congratulations, the second major release from MGMT, has become one of my all-time favorite albums. When you listen to the CD as a whole, each track conveys a different emotion through intricate synthesizer melodies, dramatic drum beats and thoughtful lyrics. I’ve been itching to bring these emotions and visualizations to the Photoshop canvas.

It has been just about a year since I began my year-long 365 project. It is a good time to bring together a set of my favorite images from the first half of 2010. There are 45 wallpapers; all optimized for the Retina Display. They are all 960×640 pixels in dimension at 326 pixels per inch. Download them here in a zip file, or directly to your device by browsing this directory. Enjoy the wallpapers and pass it on to your friends if you liked them.

The Water wallpaper pack is composed of a handful of shots of the ocean. Inside you’ll find 2560×1600 sized widescreen wallpapers and some iPhone format wallpapers as well. You can download the pack here.

In a bit of a departure from the normal wallpapers I release comes the first wallpaper pack of 2010. The Graffiti wallpaper pack is composed of a few shots of different graffiti I have come across in my travels; I have been so focused on my photography project that I haven’t spent so much time in Photoshop. Nevertheless, I have accumulated some great shots that I didn’t use in my 365 project and I am going to release some of the best ones through these small packs for your desktop. Inside the zip you’ll find a set of widescreen wallpapers along with some counterparts for your iPhone. You can download the wallpaper pack here.
