iPhone: Custom Totoro Gelaskin
I had a white iPhone 3G and I was really hoping to grab the white iPhone 4 to follow it up, but with that version delayed with no specific release window I settled for the standard black version. A big part of that decision was the potential compromise offered by GelaSkins.com, who sell removable adhesive covers for just about every major gadget or device you can think of. I’m not a fan of putting covers or cases that add bulk or significantly change the aesthetic of the tech – especially with such a gorgeous piece of design like the iPhone 4 – but GelaSkins are, as the name suggest, a thin skin that can offer scratch resistance and augment the device without adding any bulk at all. Better yet, you can choose from plenty of existing designs (including licensed stuff like Marvel Comics) or upload your own images to create a custom design.
Wallpapers: K-ON! (Official Band Yarouyo ver.)
I was looking around for new wallpapers tonight when I came across the cover to the K-ON! Official Band Yarouyo CD. I loved the stark design and use of colour but the scanned image wasn’t really clean enough to use as any sort of wallpaper, nor is the layout necessarily ideal. Of course that’s no reason to give up on it, so I took to Photoshop, pulled the image apart, cleaned up and edited the pieces and put it all back together again to create wallpapers in a variety of shapes and sizes for use on desktops, iPhone, iPad and PS3. I’m really pleased with how it turned out! Of course, between these four versions you’ll probably find one that’s suited to just about any device you have in mind, so those labels are more like suggestions based on what I had in mind when I adjusted the layout. I’m more than happy for you to share these, but as I haven’t put any watermarks on these – I don’t like watermarks on wallpapers – I’d appreciate it if you gave credit and linked back here. Enjoy!
My Current Wallpapers: Black★Rock Shooter
For some reason – maybe it’s anticipation for the upcoming OVA or 1/8 scale figure – I’ve let Black Rock Shooter take over my wallpapers. If you’re looking forward to the aforementioned releases like I am (or just love Huke‘s cool character design, like I also do) then you might enjoy this set of wallpapers suitable for desktop, iPhone and probably plenty of other devices too.

Haruhi’s reign over my iPhone unlock screen ended a couple of weeks ago at the hands of Hitagi Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari, and now that she’s made her way to my desktop as well I figured it was time to share.
Wallpapers: December 6, 2009
Continuing to keep my iPhone and MacBook Pro in sync following last month’s Eva theme, Haruhi Suzumiya has taken over my wallpapers. It proved more difficult than I’d have thought to find images that I wanted to use, though I think I had a specific look in mind which narrowed down the possibilities. I like … Read more
Wallpapers: November 1, 2009
As someone who’s always on the hunt for good wallpapers, I appreciate when others share theirs. In that spirit I’ll be posting the images that adorn my iPhone and Macbook Pro each time I change them. Sometimes that’s quite regular, sometimes I like an image so much that I keep it for months and months, … Read more
