Holiday Wallpaper from WordPress.com
Last year we started a little tradition, commissioning an illustration to give away as desktop wallpaper during the holidays. This year, Spanish artist Gary Fernández has created a wintry forest scene filled with curious characters who have great taste in blogging platforms.
Friends in the southern hemisphere, we love you too, but if you haven’t already noticed, we really have a thing for snow. We hope you enjoy — and happy holidays from all of us at Automattic!
- Large (2560×1440)
- Small (1280×720)
- For Smartphones (640×960)
- For Tablets (1024×1024)
A tip: Choose an image larger than your screen size, and set the position to “center” or “fill screen” (not “stretch”). For smartphones and tablets, we recommend only using the background image on your lock screen, so it doesn’t interfere with your icons.
Need help changing your wallpaper? Here’s instructions for Ubuntu, Mac OS X, and Windows.
If you were a fan of last year’s illustration, you can find it in this post.

The grey background on the desktop image was a little somber for me. I’ve been sporting this image with a violet background for a few weeks and the violet really brings out the colors and details.
I’d love to hear how you made this beautify art your own either in a small way (like me) or by creating something new.

Ferreting out last year’s illustration ( I was not a WordPresser last year) I was amazed by the pleasing harmony of its colours and I thought to myself how wisely you anticipate the bloggers’ needs and desires according to their tastes.
My best wishes for a prosperous New Year

It’s a beautiful design but, have you ever thought of us, Southern Hemisphere people? We have NO snow for Christmas but sun and warm weather. It would be great if anyone thought of a “flip-flop christmas”…
