You know, even though it’s totally not fair that Eric can make these clocks AND DRAW LIKE THAT, I still don’t hate him.

Recently I was gifted with 9 amazing images of Eric Freitas’s amazing work by Eric himself. It’s like Santa showing up and saying ‘Here, drive the sled for a while. I’mma go get a mocha.’
For the next 9 days I’ll be posting a wallpaper by Eric, showcasing his beautiful work. I’ve done NOTHING to them, because, honestly, anything I’d do would make them less than they are now. Check out Eric’s site; you can actually own some of these lovely objects.

Annnnd we’re back. Still working on the novel (no, i didn’t get to 50,000 words. 
) but I’m back doing wallpaper. May be a few hicups in posting (been a while) but I expect to get back on track.
A few of you sent me wallpapers that I didn’t post during November; this is ALL my fault. Got so wrapped up in writing that I forgot to post at all. They’ll be making their appearances this week.
Oh, Steampunkwallpaper.com, How I’ve missed you! :: hugs the site::

Title: Bucolic Description: Found this great picture of farmland. I’ve only added a little tiny bit of stuff… most of the credit goes to the original photographer, and, of course, the farmers. Type: Widescreen, 1680×1050 Credits: Based off the picture by tkieft, with an airship by miss insomnia tulip. Creative Commons licensed derivative. |

Title: Zeppelins at the Gasworks Description: Ivan Sez: “I ’ve had this idea for a couple of days now. Just north of downtown Seattle is the Gas Works Park. It has a some really cool old industrial equipment. I’ve also been following the Steampunk Wallpaper blog. Combining these ideas, I thought the gas works park would make some pretty cool steampunk. All I needed was something to make it more interesting. The obvious choice was airships. Enter Flickr. A couple of searches turned up a great photo ofgas work park, and a couple of zeppelins. Some time spent with Gimp and I had something looking pretty decent. I still needed that antique paper look, though. This time Deviant Art turned up a great old paper I could overlay as a texture.” Type: Widescreen, 1440×900

Today marks the last of the daily wallpapers until December, as I’ll be working on my Steampunk NaNoWriMo project. 50,000 words, baBEY. Here I come. I’ll be tracking progress (and by that I mean you can watch me go insane) at my personal journal: Geekery Abounds. (and yes, I know I haven’t posted much there. This website took all my time. )
Look for periodic updates in November, including guest wallpapers, links, and some Special Things I’ve Got Up My Sleeve For You People.
Remember, if you want to contribute, you can use the Submit a Wallpaper link up top. I have a few beauties people have contribuited over the last two weeks to throw at you in November.
Fellow NaNoer’s, good luck! Everyone else… Here we go!

Title: Race the Turkey! Description: This is an awesome modification of Left Watch that adds in the NaNoWriMo goal calendar to the blotter. The neat person behind Single Stitch Studios took advantage of the Creative Commons license and modified it, and I did too (I made it slightly bigger than her version, which was 1024×640.)

Title: Clockstreet Grunge Abstract widescreen Description: Widescreen version of the fullscreen version, by request. Yes, it’s slightly different: I didn’t want to distort it for obvious reasons, and the ‘black bar’ effect is so 1997. Type: Widescreen: 1680×1050 Credits: Based off the picture by Alex Balan. Creative Commons licensed derivative.NOTE: Some people have pointed out that the roman numarals on the clock are wrong, specifically the 4. I thought so too, but a quick google found this: Wikipedia: Roman Numerals, IIII vs. IV: “Originally, it was common to use IIII to represent four, because IV represented the Roman god Jupiter, whose Latin name, IVPPITER, begins with IV. The subtractive notation (which uses IV instead of IIII) has become universally used only in modern times.” Also had to do with how many molds a clockmaker needed: with 4 as IIII, the clockmaker only needed 1 mold that could be broken apart in different ways to get all the numerals for the clock: VIIIIIX |

Gear brushes used in my pictures are from several people. Unfortunately, I've lost the credit file of who all of those people are.
However, one has found me!
Ewark made the brushes used in several posts.
