SMASHING MAGAZINE thanks for having my Wallpaper Design.

Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it.

Dragons

“Dragons! A while ago we stumbled upon an archive of all these amazing, really old illustrations of monsters and mythical beasts. The hand-drawn illustrations are incredibly expressive and interesting, so i took a couple, and used them as inspiration for this wallpaper. I also thought that that handmade quality makes the illustrations adapt particularly well to the grunge/distressed look that’s really popular and that i really dig.” Designed by Arcane Palette Creative Design from USA.
