Designer Desktops: November 2011

Designer Desktops: November 2011: This month’s Designer Desktop comes from Henry Madsen of Helmetgirl illustration and design. Henry explains, “Pieces of art, for me, are windows into a parallel world of beauty, magic, abstraction and inspiration. So I often find that if I allow myself to observe a piece of art — be it in a gallery, on the street or just a natural work of beauty — a little bit of that other world will spill over and brighten up my day.”1024×7681280×10241680×10501900×1200iPhoneiPadView and download past Designer Desktops here.If you are interested in being involved in our Designer Desktop project, please email us at info@design-milk.com with more info about your design/art skillz.Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more...
