Over the last 20+ years, I’ve been making calendar wallpapers each month or just random wallpapers for the pure fun of it. Within that time, I’ve simplified what I’ve offered to keep it a fun and creative outlet without getting burnt out by doing too much. But also, over the course of that time I do get comments or emails asking for variations each month – different resolutions, different calendar layouts or positioning, etc.
But I’ve been thinking more and more about it and heck and how I could make it worth while to do more again? Well, I decided to start up a Patreon, let me go into a little bit of detail about what I’m thinking.
Base Wallpaper
These are what I have and will continue to offer on my site, for free. Nothing changes there.
Patreon: $1 Tier
Think of it as if I setup a Kofi or Paypal link and you just wanted to support what I do.
Patreon: $5 Tier
The main catalyst for even attempting this. So what can you expect?
Each month you’ll get the base wallpaper, but with extras…
- New calendar versions for Mobile, Tablet and Ultrawide resolutions
- Options for left, middle and right aligned Calendar lockups
- A much requested feature: Weeks starting on either Sunday or Monday!
- Some additional resolutions not previously available on my site – mostly new Mobile resolutions, but I’m open to suggestions on what more folks would like to see.
- At least one color variant – maybe more (depends on that month’s design)
- Unique member-exclusive wallpapers that won’t be available on my site or anywhere else.
I decided to kick things off with my August wallpaper first!
I also decided to make my first Patreon offering completely free – whether you sub or not – to get a feel for what I’d like to offer monthly going forward.
Hope this is something that interests folks and you get something out of it. Thanks for (maybe) taking the journey with me.
Again, thanks to everyone for all the support and kind words over the years, you’re the best!
