This wallpaper, called A Bird Came Down, was inspired by a  recent trip to the Miami Metro Zoo and is based on a photograph I took of this beautiful bird. I don’t recall what kind of bird it is exactly but I was entranced by the subtle shade of blue and stoic elegance.

For further inspiration I found a poem by one of my all time favorite poets, Emily DIckinson, which I named the wallpaper after.

———————————————

Bird Came Down

A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.

And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.

He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad,–
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
He stirred his velvet head

Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home

Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, splashless, as they swim.

- Emily Dickinson

Here’s another wallpaper. It occurred to me that carousel horses were stunning works of art in their own right. I was recently inspired by the color and ornate details. After I had spent some time doodling, I brought it into PhotoShop and morphed it into a simple scene. Multiple sizes are available below.

It’s almost Valentine’s day and that means cute cards taped with lollipops… Or MAYBE you’ll send a sweet note to that secret crush.

Inspired by Valentine’s Day, I created a wallpaper using a mix of 3D modeling and PhotoShop love.

I miss drawing. Sometimes I feel a bit rusty from working on a computer all day long. Tonight, I curled up with my favorite sketchbook and just let my imagination guide me.

Below is the result brought into PhotoShop where I added a punch of sloppy color - purposely defying the natural perfection a computer tends to exude.

And - here is another bit a found in my sketchbook from a while ago.
