Last Christmas post from me I promise, but if you feel the need for some extra festive cheer, grab this new desktop.

Well we’re 3 days into Movember, so here’s a summary of possible moustache styles in desktop picture format to inspire all those taking part this year. If this is the first you’ve heard of Movember then you should sign up and help change the face of men’s health.

The illustrations are actually taken from a fun Movember related site I’ve been working on, more details when it goes live… soon!

Here a close up of the Zorro tache:

Michael Crichton’s fictional tale Jurassic Park saw scientists bringing back dinosaurs from the dead by extracting dino blood from a mosquito preserved in a blob of amber. Seems like fact is catching up with fiction, they’re not building a funfair though, oh no, a brewery instead! Good lads :)

Apparently they’ve extracted a 45 million year old yeast from the belly of a bee trapped in a blob of amber. So after a long rest the yeast can finally get down to what it was born to do – turn sugar into CO2 & booze.

There’s a bit more of a backstory to it than that, Wired have got the lowdown on the prehistoric beer.

Apparently it’s due to be released in the Autumn, but there’s currently not much on their Fossil Fuels website.

I was doodling last night with the intention of drawing a bear, but I ending up with this horse. Stuck it on my desktop and I must say, it’s the best one I’ve had on there for a while. You can download it for yours here »

I thought I might as well make a few quick desktops out of the graphic I made for the previous post. Here are 4 of my favourite designer chat up lines:

Feels like an age since I last did any drawing, well luckily the beer making Beck’s came to my rescue and commissioned me to reinterpret a famous album for their Cover Story project. I had to pick one from Pitchfork’s top 100 albums of the past 4 decades, my favourite album Moon & Antarctica by Modest Mouse was on there, so it was a easy decision.

Sadly my Reserved Rat won’t be seeing the light of day because it’s apparently too attractive to kiddies for booze related branding.. Well worry not, that means you can download it and have it on your desktop instead :)

My favourite album was Rex’s cover of the Beatles – Let It Be. Modern Toss made quite a corker too. You can see all of them here.

I’m not blown away Modest Mouse’s album artwork, so if you’d like to update your iTunes artwork (like I did) then best use this square version here.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new desktop and I’m getting bored of looking at my last one. Who could resist the chance of having a voluptuous lady swimming across their screen all day? Well grab yourself the desktop here »

This is a bit of a sneak-peak of something I’ll be bloggin’ about in much more depth once the details are finalised. Needless to say – expect racing goats, much boozing and funtimes all round, so keep Sunday 29th March free for the Oxford & cambridge Goat Race ;)

I’ve made two desktops, get the running goat one pictured above here »

And you can download the ‘crest’ desktop here »

Iusually start my posts about weekly desktops by apologising for the missing my weekly target, well this is no different, I’ve not posted a desktop since April! This Monster Desktop isn’t knew though, I found it randomly on my hard disk yesterday, makes a pretty cool desktop though ;) Download it here »

I‘ve finished drawing all the Crank band members and have made a desktop of them rocking out. You get it in Green, Blue, Yellow or Orange, hope you like it. Remember you can also get each character individually here. I’m really enjoying doing all this Poke band stuff, mainly because it’s all nonsense and just a bit of fun, refreshing change to the world of corporate web design!

Hopefully I’ll have time to finish the comic book story of Professor Crankingstein and his monster cock and how that led to the bands creation! More soon…

Blue:

Yellow:

Orange:

Currently I’m making some T-Shirts for the Poke band CRANK! Their first gig is coming up soon, not yet official, but likely to be April 16th at On the Rocks. Above is the design for one of them, he’s kind of a cross between Captain Caveman and the Wombles… Don’t really now why? Anyhow’s brighten up your desktop with him by downloading the image here.

Update:

Flying V guitars rule! Download this one here.

Another update:

Rocking out with his cock out… Should probably explain that the name for the band Crank came from the word cranking, meaning crying & wanking simultaneously. Just so you don’t think I randomly drew a cock on it! Download this one here.

More updates:

If you know the Poke band, you might be able to guess which member this is, smashing his guitar to bits. Download the slightly less hairy rocker here.

And finally:

The drummer completes the set! Download Mattias here.

Can you Adam & Eve it, today I’ve posted about titty twisters, crocheted cocks and now I’m posting an illustration of me and Nicky in the buff, not bad start to the week ;) Download this week’s Desktop here »
