FREE DESKTOP WALLPAPER

Recently on Facebook I made available a small selection of desktop wallpaper I have designed; some are photographs by me or a detail of pieces of artwork of mine. I asked for input on the different screen sizes that people would like them to be and below are links to  jpegs based on people's replies.

Although they are free to download, use or pass on to friends, the copyright remains mine and anyone found selling them or using them within any 'paid for' product  may be subject to legal action. 

This is the first design; more designs are to follow over the next few weeks.

 

To download, click on your chosen screen size below, the picture will be loaded into a new window, then right click the mouse on the image and choose the menu option to save the picture.
