Mandolux

The new Mac came with a number of desktop backgrounds. They’re nicely done and have the advantage of not being distracting, but they lack a certain cool factor. We can, however, address this.

Mando Gomez runs Mandolux, where he provides his work for noncommercial use as desktop wallpaper.

Mando’s work is beautiful, and quite eclectic; I’d think anyone could find something suitable in his archives. I use his Zen/Lantern as my desktop background.

Images are available in a size perfect for the native resolution of even the largest monitors, and for those with multiple-monitor setups, left/right and even triptych images are provided.

It’s a lot of fun just to browse through his archives; he’s very talented.

Mando does accept donations.
