By popular demand…
From now until Friday we will feature a new wallpaper from each of the five Professional Artist Hugo nominees. To celebrate AussieCon’s (home of this year’s Hugo ceremony) artist Guest of Honor, Shaun Tan, we decided to kick-off the week with this lovely “Eric” drawing from one of my favorite stories in Shaun’s short story picture-book collection, Tales from Outer Suburbia, from Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic Books.
In the days to come, we will showcase Dan Dos Santos, Stephan Martiniere, Bob Eggleton, and John Picacio. If you’re voting for the Hugos, please take a few moments to explore their websites and familiarize yourself with their work. If you’re not voting for the Hugo, you are free to enjoy these wallpapers without the homework assignment (although you’ll miss out if you skip it.)
As usual, you have to be a registered user and signed in to be able to download the wallpapers.

Irene Gallo is in love with every piece of paper Shaun Tan touches.
I’m getting old wallpaper (with the hovering boat), not this magic utensils shelf :(
Fixed!
No 1920 x 1200? (MacBook Pro 17″) :(
Irene, you have too much fun, working with the artists. Intriguing image indeed.
@@.-@: According to the bosses it’s a tremendous amount of hard work. Don’t blow my cover!
Shaun is a sweetheart and half, and truly one of the most dedicated and creative people I have ever met. I will never tire of singing his praises.
@morven: 2560×1600 is the same 16:10 as 1920×1200
There was a story accompanying this illustration that I cannot find, can someone, please, help me with a keyword or a link?
Kibrika: The story is fantastic. “Eric”. It’s in his collection _Tales From Outer Suburbia_, it was also made into it’s own book titled _Eric_ in Australia.
Thank you Irene!
Are these wallpapers no longer available?
Not able to download the wallpaper. :sniff:
Opally,
Shoo! It’s a re-direct problem. I wont be able to fix it until Tuesday. If you follow us on Twittter, @tordotcom , I’ll send out word when it’s working. My apologies.
Links still do not work.
Still doesn’t work :(
hey, when would this work again?
cannot download D:
I would love to download this, but it won’t let me.
Hi, same problem for me! It might be because I tried to download not as signed in first, and then signed in. I’ll try again later.

Hi Ethan (and anyone else still interested), it looks like we had an incorrect term in the link language. Refresh the page and it should be working!
