If you feel like using it on your phone, click through to the full-size image, then click and hold on the image to save it to your library, then navigate to and choose it in the wallpaper settings. Neato.
To make your own damask pattern, sit yourself down in front of a computer running Adobe Illustrator and check out this great tutorial over at tutsplus.com.
- Don’t you just love it when people are proud of an achievement, and they express their pride couched in diminutive adjectives and verbs that indicate the achievement took a minimal amount of effort. e.g.: “Oh, those little baubles I tossed off the other day? The full-scale model of the pyramids at Giza? It was nothing.” In this case, I think I’ve come up with a pattern I like (partly due to subject matter) but the pattern will probably please very few, (partly due to subject matter). I’m using the diminutive out of respect for those who hate retrogaming or hate damask patterns or just hate life in general. [↩]
it is great, Zach. we were there in the restaurant when you dreamed this up, explaining Damask so enthusiastically! (don’t you just love it when hangers-on name drop their affiliation, however tenuous, hoping to bask in a little bit of your reflected shine?)
my favorite part of the design is the invaders wriggling around the bend — just off-kilter enough, legs a-wriggling, to be super-cool.
