Light The Lamp: Strange new hockey wallpaper for computers, iPad and iPhone

Mark — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:55:16 +0000

If you’ve been collecting the free wallpapers I’ve created for Hockey Shirt Shop you know they are a little bit different than the run-of-the-mill NHL team logo/action photograph wallpaper that typically comes up on your Google searches. Not that there’s anything wrong with those. But my ‘goal’ (pun intended) is to hopefully give you wallpaper that is a little more functional as a computer desktop and just a tad quirkier than those. Really, when was the last time you saw the form of a fossilized hockey stick eternalized in the face of a layer of bedrock? Or the entire spectrum of light reflected in an arrangement of hockey sticks? Let’s face it, my hockey wallpaper wouldn’t necessarily fall into the category ‘traditional’. I’m trying to create something unique and useful with imagery that starts with the lines, shapes and textures that exist in the game of hockey, but ends up in an unexpected direction.

That being said, I think I’m going to stretch you a little with this new release, the 6th wallpaper released by HockeyShirtShop and eBrushDesign. It’s called ‘Light The Lamp’ and it’s available for multiple computer screen resolutions as well as for the iPad, iPhone 4 and 3Gs.

And as always, this wallpaper is free for your personal use only and remains the intellectual property of eBrush Design. You may not use it for any commercial purpose. Please do not post it anywhere else without my permission. Links directly to this blog post, however, are welcome.

New! ‘Hockey Fossil’ free wallpaper

Mark — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:54:08 +0000

So, here it is, the 4th free hockey computer wallpaper from eBrush Design and Hockey Shirt Shop. This one is called ‘Hockey Fossil’. Yeah, I know, WTF? Look, don’t even try to figure out why I’m designing wallpaper of fossilized hockey equipment. I’ll be damned if I know where these disturbing ideas come from. I was fooling around with textures and earth tones and this thing just kinda happened. But, hey, it does make a really sick desktop.
