Wallpaper, Backgrounds, and Tiles
Free

This is a selection of bitmap wallpaper tiles that I designed. The only one that I didn't design myself is The Difference Engine. I based that tile on The Difference Engine by George Retseck (for the cover of Scientific American, Feb 1993). I modified it a bit so that it would make a seamless tile.

Most of these I designed while working for a medical insurance firm and not because I enjoy injections (apparently that needed clarification for some people).

All of these tiles are shown with their normal brightness and contrast. This is usually not good for backgrounds, especially where dark text will be printed over the background. You may need to adjust the tile with a paint program to reduce the contrast and increase the brightness. If you need help just email me.

Click on any of the tiles below to preview what they would look like when tiled on a web page.

A hypodermic needle.	Hypos and ampoules.
Hypo and ampoule dense arrangement	Prozac
Skull and Crossbones (dedicated to my mother.)	Tiny Skull and Crossbones
Babbage's Difference Engine 24-bit PNG format.	Bill Gates small
Bill Gates big	Bill Gates subliminal
Asunder Destruction. Handy stripe "Under Construction" tile.	Red Velvet Curtain
Graph Paper	Bad Reception What makes this tile interesting is that it is actually quite difficult to make a tile appear random because by it's very nature it's repeated. When the eye looks at a featureless field it locks on to any pattern. I think I hid the seam pretty well on this tile.
