nice desktop wallpaper
...to one full of atmosphere and wonder.

Enjoy unique artwork on your desktop. Enhance your desktop with original, vivid, colorful imagery. Most of the gallery images are personal works that have not been used commercially and are only found on this site. Each wallpaper is available at up to 1600x1200 pixels resolution and is 1-3MB. Such resolution works for all 4:3 screen sizes and will provide you with a beautiful full screen high-quality picture.

Superior image quality. To ensure maximum visual quality each wallpaper is saved in a PNG image file format. PNG offers superior image quality compared to the popular JPG. JPG files always distort the original image to some degree due to the compression artifacts. PNG files on the other hand provide a 100% accurate representation of the original image - which is exactly how the original was meant to be seen. The most noticeable difference is sharper image, completely smooth transition between similar color ranges and high contrast edges, plus the colors become a bit more vivid. Below is an example illustrating the difference in image quality between JPG and PNG.

compression square
JPG compression artifacts
JPG image: a typical example of JPG compression artifacts: edges become fuzzy, colors around the light get severely distorted.
PNG compression - no artifacts
PNG image: a 100% exact representation of the original image. No distortion of the image.

Cross platform compatible. The PNG file format is fully compatible with all popular operating systems like Linux, Mac and Windows.

Full screen picture size. Enjoy the artwork in high-res mode. You will see details that are impossible to see on the small images in the gallery. Here is an example using the multi award winning 3D image "Suburbs 2100":
small desktop wallpaper
A 1280x960 desktop with a gallery image at resolution 570x428.
full screen desktop wallpaper
The same desktop with a 1280x960 wallpaper - a full screen picture.
As you can see the difference is enormous. Not just in terms of details, but the visual impression and atmosphere the large wallpaper image creates - it will make your desktop look and feel entirely different.

Simply select the screen resolution of your desktop and a properly sized wallpaper that fits your desktop perfectly will be send to you. If you don't know what resolution you use, just click here and a pop up sign will display your screen resolution.

Completely safe. All my wallpapers are 100% free of any hidden "extras" like viruses/adware/spyware/etc. Furthermore, it's completely safe to install them as they are not programs - but images, or static files that can't do any harm.

Easy to install. If you are not sure how to set an image as your desktop background see this quick guide.

Great price and value. Considering the quality, and how much time and effort I put into creating each image (4-5 days on average, some images up to 3 weeks) the $5 you pay for a wallpaper represents a great value - you get to enjoy original, full screen artwork and help support the artist who made it.

Secure and quick ordering. To order simply go to the gallery and locate the image(s) you like and add them to cart. The ordering process (via PayPal) is secure and supports all major credit cards. Once your payment has been verified, you will receive via email: a high resolution version of the ordered wallpaper(s) and an Invoice. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
