Wallpaper of the Week abduzeedo07.13.20 One of our most popular series is back. The Wallpaper of the Week is happening again due to the incredible demand and pressure from myself and Francois hah! Jokes aside. We have been seeing some really great work, plus taking some good pictures that we think might be great for your phone, tablet or computer wallpapers. For this edition we have a photo taken by the one and only Francois. The photo was taken in Shanghai, on top of the Jin Mao Tower a few years ago when he was visiting the city covering a product launch for the abdz. Francois also used his Lightroom Preset Osore to give this awesome Blade Runner look to the image. “It was on my last night in Shanghai for the blog and I needed to see the skyline of Shanghai before leaving. After our media supper, I went on the top of the buildings. It was truly amazing, I went there with a bunch of journalists… Being a fan of Cyberpunk and Blade Runner. It was surreal to see how this is a reality when visiting a city like Shanghai” Wallpaper Preview If you like this look make sure to get the Osore Lightroom Preset

Wallpaper of the Week abduzeedo07.23.20 One of our most popular series is back. The Wallpaper of the Week is happening again due to the incredible demand and pressure from myself and Francois hah! Jokes aside. We have been seeing some really great work, plus taking some good pictures that we think might be great for your phone, tablet or computer wallpapers.

Samsung invited me along with other incredible artists, to make three wallpapers per month during the last 6 months of 2019 for their campaign of the Galaxy S10 / S10 Plus and Galaxy Note10 / 10 Plus models. With the guys from We Are Social and Pocko we have chosen three important recurring themes to be illustrated on dedicated devices, month by month. The characteristic of the 3 models is undoubtedly the front camera integrated in the screen and the challenge was to make each illustration trying to interact with the "hole". All wallpapers are available for download in the Galaxy Store.

Another year of Designer Desktops is coming to a close! Rounding out our last desktop of the year is the talented Joseph Patton, a Mississippi-born illustrator and animator who now splits his time between Zürich and the San Francisco Bay Area. Patton’s work feels like an invitation to step into a storybook brought to life, blending hand-drawn and digital techniques to craft illustrations that are as whimsical and heartwarming as they are thought-provoking. From playful comics to heartfelt children’s tales, his portfolio brims with projects that celebrate the art of storytelling in its many forms. For December’s desktop, Patton’s fitting illustration of interwoven hands symbolizes connection, unity, and the warmth of togetherness—a perfect visual reminder to close out the year with gratitude and a sense of community.

As we count down the final months of 2024’s Designer Desktops, Microsoft Design is bringing us a dose of zen just in time for the bustling holiday season. This month’s desktop design is ready to calm your screen and your spirit. You might be giving away your age if you can recall the Bliss wallpaper that Microsoft designed in the fall of 2001 from memory. Those vibrant, rolling green hills, paired with the charming antics of Clippy, shaped a whole era of tech. That image graced computers everywhere – from our home desks to library kiosks – and cemented its place in desktop history. Now, as Microsoft prepares to celebrate a massive milestone – 50 years in 2025 – their designers are reimagining Bliss through a modern lens, evolving the landscape scene with fresh expressions for today’s world. For November, the desktop takes a quirky, cute turn: a moss-covered frog-like house floats serenely on a lily pad amid open waters. It’s a playful wink to the Bliss of yesteryear while offering a calm, refreshing space for your tech – because who says a little whimsy can’t be relaxing? Grab your favorite version – day or night – using the links below!
