July 2020 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
That said, the importance of resting and appreciating the simple joys of life has become a critical point of balance for many of us. I wanted to illustrate something that simply just made me happy, something that felt hopeful. Additionally, it was only fitting to focus on the color yellow this month: a color symbolizing awareness, education and new thought, mixed with optimism and hope for the future.
Thank you all so much again. I hope you have a wonderful month.
Warmly,

For August, I wanted something that captured the late sunny afternoons and waning days of summer, and I thought sunflowers would be perfect. I hope you like them!

It's My Birthday Month! August 2018
Happy August! This month is my birthday month, and I'll be turning 32 on August 8th! I wanted to create an extra-special desktop wallpaper for you this month, that captures the feeling of warm summer nights in the backyard - because that's how I've been spending the last few months. We've even seen some fireflies, which is one of my fav childhood memories.

July 2018 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy July! After finally settling into our new home, I'm looking forward to enjoying the summer outdoors, and am resisting buying all of the cute inflatable pools for our backyard! I was inspired by this quote for the July Wallpaper, because I feel like it truly encapsulates that Summer Feeling. For this months' wallpaper, I worked on the lettering in ProCreate for iPad Pro :) and finished the colors in Photoshop. It's been fun to mix up my process a little!

Happy August! It's my birthday month! *confetti*
Hey, Happy August 1st! I'm particularly excited about this month because it's my birthday month yasssss! For this month's Desktop Wallpaper, I drew inspiration from all of the wonderfully overgrown plants on my balcony. It's been one of those great summers where it thunderstorms every afternoon (my favorite, not my dog's), perpetually smells like rain, and the plants have just been exploding. It's awesome. I sketched this in our sunroom with the door open and the smell of basil flooding in, while my sweet Patty was sunbathing in her corner of the balcony - it's a peaceful memory, I hope that comes through in the final illustration. Click the image below to download it!
I would love to see your desktop or studio space if you use the wallpaper, so feel free to snap a photo and tag me on Instagram so I can see and give you high-fives. Bonus points if you hoard plants like I do. I really need to make a "Plant Lady is the New Cat Lady" Art Print, yea?
Thank you guys so much!
xoxo, Erin
