Happy March!
We're getting closer to Spring and it feels so good! I wanted to create an illustration this month that evoked the feeling of little buds and leaves just starting to peek out, combined with some lovely script hand-lettering. I hope you like this month's wallpaper as much as I do!

January 2021 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper + Happy New Year!
Happy 2021, everyone! We made it!
A very big pat on the back to you for making it to the other side of 2020! While we're not walking through a portal today into a world free of problems, it does feel good to step into a New Year with a fresh attitude and hopeful mindset. We may still need to work to clear some hurtles, but with continued work and focus, I am hoping that this year we'll see a little more peace, magic, prosperity and love.
If you're a member of the community who has suffered a loss in 2020 - we see you. A New Year and all of its promise is exciting to celebrate, but it doesn't take away real hurts from the past year. Whether it's a loved one, your job or financial security, or your mental health, last year took a real and tangible toll and I just wanted to take a moment here to acknowledge that as well, and let you know we're thinking about you, and sending you thoughts for peace, renewal and joy in 2021.

December 2020 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy December, everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful long weekend! We remained at home, said hello to our loved ones over Zoom, and enjoyed a relaxing weekend with some good classic movies and putting up our tree! THANK YOU to everyone who has placed an order with us this week, last week, and throughout this season! To say we are overwhelmed is an understatement, and I have been working through orders diligently. Thank you again for making this a wonderful Holiday Season here at Paper Raven Co.! And without further ado, to say thanks, here is your December Desktop Illustrated Wallpaper!

We did it! We are so close to the end of 2020! I hope you are all having a good start to your month, and mostly importantly, I hope everyone has either voted or has a plan to vote on the 3rd!

October 2020 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy October, everyone.
A short and sweet blurb about this month's illustration, because even before we're properly into the Fall Season, our Holiday prep at the Paper Raven Co. Studio is going at full steam!
I wanted to do a simple illustration to capture some of the Halloweenie things I look forward to this month! Halloween is my favorite holiday, and because we're not sure exactly how we're going to be celebrating this year, I wanted to at least celebrate with a sort-of spooky desktop wallpaper. Burning question: what was your BEST Halloween costume growing up?

Be well this month, remember that it's still important to have fun, to rest and to dream; and remember that life is bigger than difficult moments.
(Also please go vote early!)

September 2020 Desktop Wallpaper
Happy September, friends.
For this month's illustration, I wanted to capture that between-season feeling. We're not really in Summer, and we're not really in Fall quite yet. It feels like we're between seasons in our lives right now too, and I think many can relate to that. We're waiting to exhale on so many aspects of life right now, but I'm confident that if we put one foot in front of the other, and keep moving forward with good intentions and open hearts, we will get to a better outcome for all. :) I also wanted to include mushrooms and butterflies in this month's wallpaper because we have so many in our yard right now!

August 2020 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Welcome to August, friends. We've made it this far,
and that's quite an accomplishment.
and that's quite an accomplishment.
I really wanted to focus this month's illustration on intentions. What are you seeking this month? Rest from the uncertainty of the world and the future? Peace for ourselves when everything seems so divided? Recognition of the real issues we're fighting to resolve? Or perhaps you're seeking Positivity as a way to move forward through this time. Maybe it's Resources to grow your passions so you can contribute to this world in a meaningful way. Maybe it's simply a moment to catch your breath. Whatever you're seeking this month, I hope that you read these words and take comfort in them... that the more we spend our energy on creating the new, the more quickly we'll see those changes in our lives. Take a moment today to say them out loud, and put them out into the Universe. She hears you :)

Thank you all so much again.
Stay strong, stay healthy and keep caring about each other.
Warmly,
