* Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper. * Explain in no more than five sentences why you're using that wallpaper! * Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!I'm a big fan of Noir, Pulp, Steampunk, etc, and so
Automata, by the
Penny Arcade guys, was right up my alley - black and white noir detective story, with a splash of colour, featuring a minority race of mechanical beings? Hell yes!
This wallpaper, though, was by the amazingly talented guy behind
AppleGeeks, inspired by the Penny Arcade concept. I love the style, and the texture - and wish he released a hi-res version (or prints) of the
poster version.
As a wallpaper it also works very well, as the textured background peeks out around windows, and Regal often peeks out at the RHS of the screen behind windows.
I change my wallpaper very rarely, and I suspect this one will be here to stay for quite some time.
Click through for the hi-res version, and check out the
original post over at AppleGeeks.
Another creative person
animated the Automata comic to music, which is also pretty spiffy and worth a look.
