Sorry it took so long to get this one out. My Mac was out of service for four and a half days. This illustratated pattern came right out of the Farmidable sketchbook and is a tribute to Indian artist Nandalal Bose. The download file contains three versions, an orange, a red (which is pink) and a not for cowards yellow. Hope you enjoy. Click here to download it in our gallery.

Almost There

Building Boxes Illo

We’ve been working a lot on this new desktop wallpaper illustration and planned to have it finished by today, but alas, it’s not quite there yet. Who new building an entire city would take so long? In the mean time we still have some great wallpaper tiles in our gallery.

This is another prelim for Building Boxes. We’re poised to be releasing two new desktop wallpaper patterns in our gallery over the next two weeks. The first hopefully on Monday, 4/21, and the next pattern on Monday 4/28. Maybe we’ll make that a pattern. In the meantime we’ve got some great posts in the works and will do our best to post every day.
