Free Galaxy Space Desktop Wallpaper

So I got a little crazy on photoshop tonight and decided to try my hand at a little art piece. I created one of my favorite places…space. I’ve always been fascinated by the big “unknown”. I’ve even got those glow in the dark stars on my ceiling of my bedroom…Tastefully done though ;). This was very fun to make and I hope you enjoy it. It was my first space scene and it was almost therapeutic to make. In this world everything goes where you want it to :). I’ll be making more I’m sure.

I also made this funky little 3D orb. Enjoy!

So I had some random stock photography sitting around and I decided to teach myself a new tool for making seemless tiles for website backgrounds. I have noticed most of the sites that impress me don’t have typical solid color backgrounds. So I took 4 images that I thought would be fun to see on a site and made them seamless. Feel free to download them for your personal use. If you end up using them on a site, all I ask in return is to let me know! Post a comment here with a link so we can all see how you’ve used it.

Happy designing.

If you’re looking for any information on sumps, saltwater critter ID, or aquarium photography, Marc Levenson’s site www.melevsreef.com is a great resource. He also sells RO/DI units that are second to none. I bought one from him for my reef needs and I couldn’t be happier with it.
