A Seasonal Call for Creative Submissions

As June arrives and summer begins, designers and artists worldwide have once again contributed a fresh set of desktop wallpapers. The monthly series, now in its fifteenth year, continues to offer a creative outlet beyond routine work — a chance to explore artistic expression through digital tools, photography, or traditional sketching.

Each contributor was given complete freedom over their theme and execution, with no editorial constraints on subject matter. The result is a diverse collection reflecting individual perspectives and techniques. Those interested in participating in future editions can submit their designs for consideration.

All artwork is available in multiple resolutions, with options both with and without calendar overlays. Click any preview image for a larger view.

June Is For Nature

“In this illustration, Earth is planting a little tree — taking care, smiling, doing its part. It’s a reminder that even small acts make a difference. Since World Environment Day falls in June, there’s no better time to give back to the planet.” — Designed by Ginger IT Solutions from Serbia.

Seasonal Still Lifes

Libra Fire from Serbia delivers a bold summer composition with Tastes of June. Strawberries and fresh oranges take center stage, rendered in saturated, bright color that leans into the season's visual energy. It reads as a straightforward celebration of early-summer produce and palette rather than a conceptual piece.
