In case you are updating and synchronizing your iPod, iTouch, or iPad, can I suggest a "re-beautification" (if such term exists) of your standby menu with this sites I have used as resources for my wallpapers, and creative juice too.

Are you a Laker fan? If so, then we could talk about it over a coffee, if not, then I bet you still knew Kobe Bryant. I've been a great fan of Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant since I knew.

What I got here are Kobe Bryant wallpapers for iPod, iPhone, and for your desktop (iPad version - coming soon). Basically, I just plainly started from scratch and let my juice wander how to layout these wallpapers.

Here's your five-time champion, Kobe Bryant:

Woah! February had began, and time flies so fast. To start off this love month, I'm going to showcase my 4th wallpaper filed under Monthly Wallpapers. Most of us knew that February is the love month, and seems like I'm in the mood playing with Xara 3D this time, and the creative juice is flowing freely. This time, I got to create a LOVE Typhography wallpaper.

Since i've been busy these past few days I just scanned my recent works and decided to turn them into PSP sizzlers. Eventually, PSP has been a very common gadget nowadays, and creating wallpapers for this kind of game gadget is very easy.

Some of these are my creations for Plurk Layouts (I guess they're not available anymore), some are from my homemade wallpapers, and some are just out of boredom.

Hooray for another month of blogging under this blog! A new month for another wallpaper. This time, I eventually went freestyle. I just dipped a lot of elements in this wallpaper, and eventually came up with a puzzling title, "Techno Culture". Perhaps, the female element in this wallpaper and the brushes I used defined the random title.

If you are new to Xara 3D, then better read my post about the software, and it's simple yet cool features.

This wallpaper is the first wallpaper I created out of Xara 3D's 3D text effect with Photshop CS4 as enhancement. Learning the basics is a must.

Retro 3D Text Wallpaper:

This wallpaper series contains Rock artists from different generations. I included The Beatles, Slash of Velvet Rovolver, and Elvis Presley. The other wallpaper is solely an addition to sizzle up this series.

This wallpaper is an addition to the monthly wallpaper category. The mood to create another one is good, so I just took advantage with it. Obviously, this wallpaper is related to Christmas.

Wallpaper Description:

Since the phrase, "12 Days of Christmas" is the most common phrase I could ever think of, I decided to create 12 colorful Christmas balls that would float around the black background. Later on, I tweaked some fonts to consume the upper space.

Skills used:

Circular shapes
Blending Options (Gradient overlay, Bevel and Emboss, Drop Shadow)
Splatter Brushes

This wallpaper is available in 1024x768 and in wide screen resolution 1280x800. Download it here:

To keep a constant system in this blog, I decided to present a wallpaper every month, so I'll start in December. New wallpaper would be added every month. A wallpaper theme that suits the month.
