The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Matthew Lyons
January 27, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: The Desktop Wallpaper Project
A couple of weeks ago we had a really wonderful wallpaper by Matt Lyon, and in a bizarre turn of events this week we have Matthew Lyons. They’re two very different fellows but both extremely talented. This week’s Matthew you may remember from a couple weeks ago when I posted about his extremely rad work. Since then we’ve chatted and I asked him if he would do a desktop wallpaper for you, and he graciously obliged.
Matthew told me that he made this wallpaper to burn my eyes out, after I told him I preferred darker wallpapers. He also called me a “goth man”, haha… Anyhow, he wrote me that he wanted to create “a robot who is terminating all quarms and turmoils that he has in life by steadily cruise controlling tranquil barren land.” I think that he’s more than accomplished that, and I think his wallpaper is one of my favorites of the last two years. Thanks again Matthew, you big jerk…
Bobby

that is amazing!!!!
Yeah, never commented on the wallpapers before but I have to on this one. So good. Definitely one of my faves!
I can see this being my background for some time…definitely my favorite of all the wallpapers, indeed.
Would L-O-V-E to get this in a size for my 30″ Cinema Display, although I know thats a lot to ask for.
Haha sorry about the goth man thing I take it back!
Absolutely gorgeous. Matt has some serious talent ;-)
[...] There’s a touch of Saul Bass – in his color choices bold compositions – and Kevin Dart – but without the exaggerated figure work and a tighter less brushy use of line. It’s not a surprise that the art and design blogs are already starting to pick up on his work (the illustration below was produced for the desktop wallpaper project at Kitsune Noir and can be downloaded in screen-sized version there).
