HP Artist Wallpaper Series

Laura Barnard — Sat, 01 May 2010 16:51:00 +0000

I was proper delighted to be asked to design a set of desktop wallpapers for HP to be shipped with their 2010 range of laptops, and was even more delighted when I discovered I was in splendid and esteemed company with three other great illustrators: Alex Eben Meyer, Julie West and Amy Ruppel.

It was a really fantastic project to work on for a great client, and the wallpapers are now out in the open, being shipped with the new notebooks and also available for download here if you fancy any of them adorning your screen.

Massive detailed cityscape, based on the view over hilly Bristol. Originally created as a self-promotional piece, but went on to be used in a publication about housing development.
