I will readily admit that my love of books is an obsession that has extended beyond the normal. I spend more time drawing them than I do either reading them or writing them, though I’m probably better equipped for the later.
I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am.
No matter! I am busy making a series of classic book desktop wallpapers! Remember, way back when, when I provided you with your very own Catcher in the Rye wallpaper!? Wasn’t that fun??? Yes? Good! Now for The Bell Jar! My edition of The Bell Jar is perhaps the ugliest in existence. I think it’s some movie edition (was there a movie???). But when I re-drew it in my ugly, wobbly hand, I found it weirdly more pleasing, math has never been my strong suit, but it is as if ugly squared = pretty!
If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I’m neurotic as hell. I’ll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.
The silence depressed me. It wasn’t the silence of silence. It was my own silence.
So, I’ve got many sizes, shapes, and styles for you! I know everyone’s computer set-up and style is different. (My personally customized setup with my dual-screens is thus:)
But enough about me. Here’s some free backgrounds for you!!!
Do these bright and cheery quotes make you want to read The Bell Jar? Have a go! With a better cover! Unless you like ugly covers for their kitsch value, then get this one

Maria cares enough to create an iphone wallpaper. hahahahahahahaha.
Do you work on these drawings while in class?
No, no Tricia, I pay attention in class! I draw them when I get home and am supposed to be writing. Maybe one day, someone will make a desktop background of MY book. In fact, it will probably be me.
SAD FACE. That’s a depressing thought.
can’t wait for your book(s). when that day comes, I will attempt some wallpaper. but i’m sure your book will have a pretty cover. so then pretty+ugly (from my version) will = ???
loved reading the bell jar again. oh, and just finished “i know this much is true” from your recommendation. FABULOUS! thanks :)
Love, love that book. That’s the copy I have too.
Ummm, hello fabulous! What an amazing idea… it’s like all my favorite things in one little package (books, computers, drawing). Keep it up!
Thanks, friends!
Amy! I love you for reading books I suggest! I think you are the only person that actually does!

[...] Stickers and Donuts posted a fun project involving drawing a book cover and making wallpaper out of it. I was totally inspired by it and decided to make one of my own. I chose the book Stolen Sharpie Revolution: A D.I.Y Zine Resource as it’s a favorite of mine. I had a lot of fun doing this while catching up on episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. [...]
