Oh. That’s absolutely delicious. Thanks John!
I’ll have to make my own — at some point. :)

Pleased you like them. I’ll post some more when I get time. Hoping to do some in lots of different styles, even grunge. Would love to see your wallpapers. In fact, I really like the style of that image you made for the Scrabble pieces (was it you?), with perhaps part of the “i love typography” spelled out with those Scrabble letters.

Firenze meets the retro brush.
You know, it wasn’t that long ago that I could just mind my business and not pay attention to type, patterns or combinations of color. Well, live and learn.

I will get around to making some Johno, have been a little busy with the VISA prep and immigration.
I just read that you want something a little grungey! I’m totally on it ;)

Can’t wait to see them.

Yes, it is. In fact FontShop do a nice one every month. Best thing to do is subscribe to the FontFeed. I guess they’ll post the December one soon.

Maybe post 2560x1600 versions of some of these? I have 30”ers that it’d be nice to display these on.

Thanks for visiting. Sorry, but the form to submit your wallpapers disappeared for a while. I’ve fixed it now.

Zachary’s desktops are wonderful, the tray of old type is my favorite. The wear and tear and rust makes the antique look perfect. I’d love to see more trays with different typefaces.

CyborgSam, I’m glad you like them. I would also like to see some different typefaces, but I don’t have any others at the moment. I plan to get more in the future or go over to a local letterpress and see what I can do.

They’ve proven to be incredibly popular. Exciting to think that there might be more. Thanks again.

I just wanted to say that I changed my desktop from the 2nd one in the left column (by Zachary), after many weeks of admiration, to the bottom one of the right column (by Antonio). And I love it!!! It’s so beautifully textured! I would love to see more by this person. Also I love that it is colorful without being too bright.
Those are my two cents, for now.

I’ve used most of them now. Right now I’m using the one at the top, righ-hand-side. The one your using is nice, and Antonio has some more like it on his own web site.

Is there any interest in (and permission for) using these images on a t-shirt?
Cafepress makes it easy, and I was curious.

Too bad that the font used for the “Helvetica” wallpaper (2nd row, 2nd column) isn’t Helvetica (http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html) … ;-)
