“As summer comes to an end, all the creatures pull back to their hiding places, searching for warmth within themselves and dreaming of neverending adventures under the tinted sky of closing dog days.” - Designed by Ana Masnikosa from Belgrade, Serbia.

We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine.

You can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our Desktop Wallpaper Calendars series.

All images can be clicked on and lead to the preview of the wallpaper,.

All wallpapers come in two versions - with and without a calendar - and can be downloaded for free. This post features their artwork for September 2017. We are very thankful to all artists and designers who have contributed and are still diligently contributing to this mission, who challenge their artistic abilities each month anew to keep the steady stream of wallpapers flowing.

We are very thankful to all artists and designers who have contributed and are still diligently contributing to our monthly wallpapers creativity mission, who challenge their artistic abilities each month anew to keep the steady stream of wallpapers flowing. Wallpapers that are a bit more distinctive as the usual crowd and that are bound to fuel your ideas. With that in mind, we embarked on a special creativity mission nine years ago: to provide you with inspiring and unique desktop wallpapers every month. As designers we usually turn to different sources of inspiration, and, well, sometimes the best inspiration lies right in front of us.
