Montage

1 October 2009 Filed in: Art & Design, Creativity, Wallpapers

October. Russet, plum, dark brown, rust, gold, purple and green. Mushrooms. Candied apples. Figs. Pumpkins. Roasted chestnuts. Halloween. And as I walk down the road, a scattering of acorns, pine cones and oak leaves.

I’ve been working on this image, inspired by my trip to Öland and the graffiti in a medieval castle. Creating a dreamscape in a whole different format when I realised it would work as a desktop wallpaper too, so I adapted the montage with its layers of writing and watercolours to desktop sizes and also made a desktop calendar version for October. This download contains fullscreen, widescreen and iPhone versions, with and without the calendar. Montage wallpaper works very well with the collection of Purple Luminous Folder Icons, the Orange and Pink Folder Icons.

    This is so beautiful and moving I could eat it up !
    Each time I look at it,I remember I am a person with dreams and sensibility, and not only a working robot.
    I am craving for more wallpapers like this one.
