For When You Need An Interfacelift

I’ve actually been loathe to tell people about this website because I feared that it would get drowned out like Deviant Art did. Deviant Art is no longer of any real value and they charge a premium for nothing at all. Its very sad to see, since many very talented artists in a number of disciplines came out of the early DA.

There is a site, however, that is home to some of the most fantastic landscape photographers and photo retouchers I have ever seen collected in one place, InterfaceLift. Yes, its a play on the words Interface and Facelift and they focus on desktop images and icons as well as some desktop themes for Windows. The real works of art, however, are in the wallpapers.

I’m only going to point to one, which is not a landscape image but a 100% generated Photoshop image. The artist, a Derek Prospero, used 7,700 layers to create the image you see to the left. Purists will note that the image is not exactly accurate to motherboard designs, but its not about accuracy. Its about the skill and time which was put into this project and the quality of the output.

So, the next time you want to spruce up your desktop, swing on over to InterfaceLift and you’ll see that you will inadvertently spend a lot of time crawling through huge collection of some truly amazing work. Oh, and here’s a tip; select your screen size, then right click on the Download button and select the Save Image As option in Windows or the Mac, and display it proudly.
