Wallpaper: “Maximum Invention”


Maximum Invention - Nixie Tube Version

For the last year or so my mantra has been “maximum invention, minimum repetition”. I don’t always live up to it, but it’s something to strive for. I’ve been thinking about how I might express this as a wallpaper and came up with the above as my first design.

The nixie tube is a 3D render I made, the lettering was added in Photoshop. I can’t take all the credit for this phrase – the person who inspired this mantra lived over 300 years ago.

    Hi Gary, I was thrilled to finally find your Pixel Feng Shui icons. I have looked for them for such a long time! I lost them and was so glad to see you put them up. I really love that set.

    My question is, did you also create an older set of icons that was a set of mystical, mysterious looking books? I cannot find them anywhere. They had names like Mage’s Journal, I believe.

    The third set (I am not sure if you were the artist) was a set of New York buildings like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State building and the Twin Towers.

    Thank you so much for sharing the Pixel Feng Shui icons. I look forward to seeing what is upcoming.

    I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my icons! I didn’t create either of the other icon sets you mentioned and I’m not sure I’ve seen those icons around. You might try “macthemes.net”. The people there really know their icons.

    Thanks. I will try them! I appreciate it. :) I did manage to find the buildings icons (Urban View by Paul Sahner), but the books icons elude me. I am so glad you finally republished Pixel Feng Shui! Thank you again.
