Tragically Hip Wallpapers?
#1

Anyone that's following the 'Hip 64' will probably have seen that I've made a chart, which is also being used as a desktop wallpaper. thehip420 suggested that I could make some more, which I am willing to do - but I just wanted to gauge some interest first.

So, would anyone else be interested in a desktop wallpaper (along a similar sort of style to this?

Any input would be appriciated, and before you ask - I will try and incorporate more images of the actual band Wink

I've expressed my interest in the Hip 64, but I'm more than willing to do so again 8)

Ya dude go for it. Actually i've looked a lot on the web a few times looking for decent hip wallpapers and there ain't that many really.

If you (or anyone else who may be good at this stuff) really wanna test your skills out, i'd like to see a nice hip "dream scene" for windows vista users like me(more info on dream scene here http://windowsultimate.com/blogs/extras/...scene.aspx )
There are some pretty sweet look'n (non-hip ones) ones out now..

I agree with the others who say go for it... i'd love to have some Hip wallpapers, but without the desktop icons Big Grin i've had the same Trailer Park Boys for a while now... time to change.

I'd like to see the Henhouse cover as a wallpaper, yes? ... maybe a bunch of live pics together like you mentioned... :thumb:

Will you do them in different resolution sizes (like 1152x864), or just 800x600?


(editSmile just read the Poll Results thread... questions answered. D'OHH!! Definitely excellent work man! (edit)

I, for one, would absolutely love to use some of your artwork for my desktop, Z.
I'd especially like to see some along the lines of the banners that you posted on your blog.

Here's one I did recently.

I've not had a chance to work on them yet (I've been busy on other Hip related projects 8)). I'll have a go next week. I've spent this morning scanning in all my Hip covers, so I'll have plenty to get my teeth into! Big Grin

I don't know if this is what you were talking about or not, but it would be spectacular to collect numerous live images and create a mosaic. Does anyone know how to do something like that?

If you talking about what I think you are, how like a million different pictures combined look like another image. That would be hella cool.

If you dont wanna do that by hand, which i'm sure would take forever, there a filters or actions you can download to get that similar affect. I know i've seen some around before.

Could be interesting.

It was indeed what I was thinking about.
I remember awhile back I stumbled accross a page that created the same effect using flickr galleries. I searched for it but I couldn't find it again. It only did it on a small scale, but I would bet there is a consumer alternative around.

An early attempt, there's obviously too many repeats, but it should turn out pretty cool once the bugs are worked out.
