I collect wallpaper for my computer all the time as a hobby, and I do use them as a source for inspiration. Recently I discoverd a great new site called Wallpaperart.org, where they collect a set of high quality wallpaper from designers around the world – and the great thing about this site is they not only collect wallpaper, but also to interview the author/designers who made them. What a great combination! You get to download the wallpaper, plus reading into the info those great designers share!

In this post, I will showcase you 5 (Really) Amazing Collection of Wallpaper + Designer Interviews from Wallpaperart.org. Hope you enjoy them and find them inspirational. For more, hop onto their website and take a look yourself :)

Lately I have seen a lot of effect done in a style that utilises a lot of shattered, distorted effect, particularly on Human body elements. This really fascinates me because I feel those artworks are simply full mystery. They may look really odd and of course SURREAL, even dark sometimes, however they can convey very strong and powerful emotion to viewers. If used well, those shattering effect can give your design a real boost.

In this post, I will show you a collection of 25 Weird, Yet Powerful Art of The Shattered, Disintegrated and Distorted Human Elements from deviantArt and Flickr. Hope you enjoy them! Let me know your thoughts :)
