Happy May the 4th! Star Wars tile art theme

So, finally got around to doing the Star Wars #tileart theme. We had a few requests come in for this one…

@TileArtGuy Just want to say that i love you work! Any chance you can do a Star Wars tile art for the Lumia 1020?

After a lot of thought I decided to go with this Dark side vs Light side (Ying vs Yang) approach to the home screen. It doesn’t use the real-life characters from the films, but I think the comic book art adds a nice effect. I especially love the white theme.

One thing I have to say…is long live the stylus! This is the first time I’ve tried the stylus on my new Surface and it’s been incredible!. First time stylus user, so all those wacom experts please forgive my enthusiasm 🙂

Anyway, here are pics and videos to show the home screens in action. Links to the images at the bottom of the post:

The theme was only possible thanks to the awesome artwork form RebornRock, Kevin Nowlan, Tim Bradstreet, Tony Harris, Joe Quesada and chrono-strife

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie on my Lumia 1520 home screen (194 Tiles)

Every year on the 25th May is Towel Day. A day to celebrate Douglas Adams and the awesome story of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy which he left behind for all of us to enjoy.

I’m a huge fan of Hitchhiker’s Guide, and although I’ve seen both films and read the books…I loved the Garth Jennings film the most. Probably because of Sam Rockwell’s performance as Zaphod Beebelbrox.

That’s why I decided to pick the film as the focus for this home screen. So when I set off to pin the entire film on my home screen, two things happened:

1. The Custom Tile Maker app stopped working at around 97 tiles down

2. I figured rather show people the first 15min of the film…that way you could go and enjoy the whole thing at home the way it was meant to be seen!

Anyway, here’s the full high-res version of the entire screen, and below are a few highlights:

I’ve also created a Lumia 1520 and a Lumia 1020 Marvin wallpaper if you fancy joining the Towel Day celebrations this Sunday:
