The Everyday Wallpaper

I got bored with the wallpaper collection I had and decided to design some of my own for each day in the office. Brushes from Jason Gaylor. You may download them as per link specified. If you would like any of them bigger than a typical 1024 x 768 pixels version, email me.

I’m curious which design would be the most popular amongst visitors of my humble blog. Care to vote?

Definitely number two. Loved the visual contrast — the quirkiness is adorable.

I love all of them, but could you make widescreen versions? Preferably 1440×900. for my macbookpro.

Number one.

Thanks Pee, I’m flattered considering that you’re an art director. 🙂

Shianux: sure thing. Email me at pat@bypatlaw.com and I’ll send the bigger files to you.

Midnight, I’m actually surprised. Thought you’d go for number three.

Love number two. The floral meets speech bubbles effect does it for me. ‘Gos in the bushes’ – very cute 😀

Reply
Pat Law 6.4.07 / 12pm

I have 2 Mels? Wow, I’m a lucky motherfucker. Heh heh heh. Midnight, how many Mels do YOU have? 😛

Reply
smudgi3 6.4.07 / 1pm

I’d go for 2 and 4. Luckily I have 2 laptops. Muahahaha.

Reply
Mels 6.4.07 / 1pm

This is cracking me up! Hell yeah, Pat you are a lucky motherfucker! (can’t believe i just said that). What are the odds of that happening, in your same blog entry i might add 😀

Reply
Pat Law 6.4.07 / 3pm

Thank god I’m dating neither of you, or I’d be in deep shit. Still, nice having 2 Mels in my life. Haha.

Babe, love number 5.

Just coz you asked: My pick would be gossip in the bushes. Nice designs overall though, good work x

They are all awesome!

Two and five…although they are all very, very good. I like your vision.

Let’s get lost – I like the difference in detail sizes, and the additional blue dots travelling in the background.

pee 6.5.07 / 1pm

No biggie — if it counts, I art direct words in me lil pointy head.

Oh, mixtape over at my site. Have fun with ’em.

lin 6.5.07 / 2pm

i downloaded and used no. 2 but somehow it looked wrong on my notebook. grar!

nonetheless, i really like no. 4. there’s just something about it, with its simple caption, that makes me feel like home.

p.s hope you don’t get freaked out by lurking readers.

likeafuckinvirgin 6.5.07 / 3pm

Number 2 for me. It has the Celia Birtwell quirkiness i’ve always adored.

Reply
malcolm816 6.5.07 / 5pm

So strange, I’ve been thinking about the phrase, “It’s Not You, It’s Me” all day today and then I just happened to open to those words on your page… Er, anyway. My vote is for “Let’s Get Lost,” actually.

Reply
smakula 6.5.07 / 6pm

I would go for number 3 🙂

Reply
fREn 6.5.07 / 6pm

Number 4. That gradient is awesome

Reply

coooooooool wallpapers 🙂

Reply
Joywalker 6.5.07 / 9pm

I like No.3 and 4!

Reply
Brian 6.5.07 / 11pm

I really like all of them, but in terms which I’d most likely actually use, it’d have to be #2, followed by #3.

Man, these are inspirational. They make me want to play with photoshop, deadlines be damned. Anything that makes me want to do something out of the ordinary qualifies as art in my book! 🙂

Keep up the good work! (As if you needed me to say that…)

Reply
Brian 6.5.07 / 11pm

Holy crap, I just looked through a few other posts and your stuff is awesome. You’re going into my Google Reader. Don’t try to fight it. 😉

Any chance you can hook me up with “Gossip in the bushes” that’ll work for two monitors?

Reply
erikcurtis 6.6.07 / 2am

If I had to pick one, I pick #2. But they are all a bit too girl’ish for me.

outeasy 6.6.07 / 3am

WoW! Can you believe the weather? Thank you for this!

Reply
Pat Law 6.6.07 / 10am

Hey Brian,

Aww. Thanks for your comments. Sure thing, just email me at pat@bypatlaw.com and I’ll send the wallpaper in a bigger size to you.

Reply
Pat Law 6.6.07 / 10am

Lin, I don’t mind lurking readers at all, unless they come stalking outside my apartment. Then again, if they are to do that, I’d probably ask them to buy me a pizza or something while at it.

Reply
Pat Law 6.6.07 / 10am

Wrenna, pay me and I’ll design one for both you and your bf.

Reply
Pat Law 6.6.07 / 10am

outeasy, what fucking weather? Huh?

That is really nice, I’m really impressed. How did you make those, what programmes/tools did you use?

yay. new wallpapers for the weekend.

Pat Law 6.9.07 / 12am

Hi Jords,

I used mainly Photoshop CS and a dose of passion.

Reply
Jords 6.10.07 / 2am

hehe, nice.

Only, I’ve just started with photoshop and i’ve always wanted to create thigns like this.
Do you draw the designs then scan them in, or design them on photoshop.

Reply
boccia 6.11.07 / 5pm

I’m a graphic design, and in my opinion the first is the best, but without the yellow pattern on the right.. colours don’t mix well

dianabobar 6.11.07 / 7pm

they are amaing!

Wrenna 6.12.07 / 10am

One of me and my boy? We’re so not that kind of couple who put each other’s faces on the desktop. My wallpaper casually switches from kate moss to boring apple ones. And I sure ain’t paying for something I’m not even gonna really look at. Nice try though haha.

Reply
gar 6.18.07 / 9am

Since I’m boring and am partial to black, white, and -oh yes- the shade known as “grey”… I’ll go with #3.

They’re all quite nice, tho… there’s almost a seasonal feeling to them (spring – summer – winter – fall – spring?).

Reply
RaQ 6.21.07 / 8pm

hey babe(:
I love all 5 so i shall download it all but i suppose it’d be #3 and #4 most times((:
thank you for creating such pretty things!

Reply
sandra 9.5.07 / 3am

I think number five is the best. I am having a hectic day and it made me stop and smile. thanks.

Do you have higher res available of these images (especially 4)? They get a bit ‘rough’ when I use them full screen. Thank you.

Harlow.

Some might call Pat loud, brash and in-your-face. Born premature, spouts Hokkien euphemisms at the drop of a hat and suffering from bipolar depression from time to time, Pat doesn’t live and breathe art, she bleeds art. And like all artists with tortured souls, her best work often emerges when she’s in the throes of emotional upheaval. Never one to rest on her laurels or be satisfied too easily, Pat’s perfectionist pursuits can result in some rather anal tendencies. A rough diamond who’s raw edges will indelibly leave lasting impressions – whether through her art or her passions – on any person she meets.
