If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.

Yes, of course. Macs look good on the inside and outside. There is no need to make them prettier. Or is there? Well, I just like to customize everything. Even my new iMac. So one of the first things I did when I turned on my iMac, was find out where to change the desktop wallpaper. And gawd, the resolution! I never paid that much attention when creating wallpapers in the past. The largest size wallpaper I ever created was probably 1920x1200... But now I have a 27" display with a 2560x1440 resolution. It's amazing. But it also means I need really big wallpapers now to cover the entire screen and not make it look crappy.
David Lanham has been one of my favorite illustrators for a long time now. I've always customized my Windows environment with his cool wallpapers and icons. And I wasn't planning to stop doing this now. I'm so grateful for artists like him. He makes my desktop a whole lot prettier.
Vladstudio used to be one of my favorites as well. And although Vladstudio has wallpapers in pretty much all the known resolutions, I can't use some of the 2560x1440 ones, since I need a paid account for those. I'm not sure if I'll get a paid account. It's not that I think it's not worth the money. But buying an iMac was expensive enough. I have plenty of important items I still have to buy for my iMac. The last thing I plan to do is pay for my wallpapers. But there are a few wallpapers I can use... So that's a good thing.
I realize there are plenty of other websites with wallpapers out there. But I am showing MY favorites here lol. If only Lois van Baarle would turn her awesome illustrations into wallpapers, I'd probably only have her artwork on my desktop!
Talking about wallpapers. I mentioned before I don't think I ever created anything bigger than 1920x1200. How stupid is that? Why didn't anyone inform me about this, that I was making a terrible mistake? Hahaha. Well anyway, I will certainly make sure I create 2560x1440 from now on. Don't worry about that!
