January 2019 Wallpaper: Skating
Shaenon: For this month’s wallpaper I wanted to do something based on Currier and Ives prints, so here we are. These 1860s outfits are fun to draw.
As always, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, or contribute any amount to our Patreon, we’ll give you a link to this wallpaper, designed for two computer desktop sizes and cell phones. Patreon contributors will continue to receive new wallpaper for the length of their contribution.
You’ll also get this bonus wallpaper from the archives, one of my all-time favorites:
Channing: I’m really digging the wallpaper this month. It’s very calm and happy. And yes, the bonus wallpaper is among the best Shaenon’s ever designed.
I love this! Minutes ago I was watching my favorite bad movie… the scene where Stomoxys and Glossina and Barbarella ski while being pulled by an ice skate… and now this!
“Skating away, skating away, skating away, on the thin ice of the new day.”
I’m trying to remember, have you ever done any Walt Kelly homages? (As a child of the Seventies, I grew up on my mother’s Pogo collection.)
Look at the bonus wallpaper, the book on the lower left.
Huh. (slaps head) I must have been interpreting that as something else, but I see it now.
Beautiful!
