That ol' logo
Tired of that ugly default Opera Icon on your desktop? Hey! You haven't hidden it alltogether, have you? No matter, because today you can do your computer a favor and replace it with something far better. I give to you the pimped O!
Simply save this
shiny Logo in .ico format somewhere you'll find it again, say in your Opera installation folder or something, and replace it for that fugly default one. In Windows, you simply right click on the desktop icon, select 'Properties' and 'Change icon...'. Find the newly saved icon and voila! Shinyness shines upon ya!

photoshop, layer effects, my opera, zebra
...
This is really so easy compared to the awesomeness of the result, I thought I'd better make a tutorial of it. It's a good way to start getting to know the layer effects in Photoshop, because the result here opens for further play and experimentation. But 'nuff talk, let's get down and dirty!

banners
All the positive respons on the
Transformers banners made Espenao boiling over with joy. And with work for me.
We sat down and came up with
some more general ideas that I could work on. Not the most advanced stuff, more Photoshop fun than design really, but the banners might spark some ideas among you guys perhaps?
Thanks to
Nikio and
pntruongan for two of the images I stole for these!
Really talented photogrphers both of them.

transformers, my opera, banner
I have today a new banner on my blog. That is because I was asked to make some for the community by espenao himself.
Head over to the
mothership and get one yourself.
Of course, since I made the originals, I couldn't resist hack my own work to my own benefit. Hah!
The logo is actually based on the Opera logo's O shape. Try and lay them toghether, you'll see. With that shape I played a bit with lines cutting and slicing the O, until it all resembled something that could come out of the Transformers universe.
Hope you like!

wallpaper, logo, opera, high resolution
...
It's about that time again. You need to get rid of that old, scruffy wallpaper and replace it with some shiny new one. I made this take on the Opera logo a while back, and felt it deserved not to get stuck in some obscure corner of my hard disk. Hopefully you'll enjoy it, and put it to grace your monitor(s) as well.Read more...

wii, opera, nintendo, chrome
...
After a long and painful wait on my behalf, the 'Internet Channel' on Nintendo Wii is out in its final version. It really is a great browser, and I'm extremely proud to have been a part of it.

mii
I found this cool flash version of the mii-channel that lets you create mii-avatars and save them as jpg files. It's monday today, and the resulting self portrait sort of reflects that, so I recommend you do this when feeling more colorful than I felt when I made mine.

wallpaper, opera, gesture
Well, it took me two days to finish a new concept. This time it's Zorro who's been used for inspiration. Enjoy!

gesture, wallpaper, opera
After having played a bit with the widget logo in 3d, I wanted to do some painting again. It's been quite a while since the last time I used my Wacom (in fact it had a nasty layer of dust all over it when I pulled it out), so I wanted to do something fairly easy to begin with. The idea came as a conglomerate of wanting to paint fire (I recently participated in a discussion on how to do so on a forum) and try to make something out of one the best features in Opera. The combination of Balrog meets mouse gestures is the result:
Balrogs don't use mouse gestures, so it's here translated to a whip. Hopefully this fantastic piece of art will get lots and lots of people to start using mouse gestures. More probably lots and lots of people will not. Their loss. Unless they use keyboard shortcuts, but that I really doubt.

Well, this being the first entry and all, I thought I'd tell what my plans are for this blog and the album. They will probably change over time, but not wanting to gape over a too big a piece of cake, I've narrowed it all down quite a bit. Me being (currently) an Opera employee, stuff regarding Opera will be main focus. The first couple of things I'll deal with will be wallpapers and other graphics having Opera as the main theme. Some other stuff will probably pop up every now and then, so don't come to me complaining about inconsistancy or whatnot. I get enough dealing with that at work, thank you.
Well, have a peek at my album and get yourself a nice, new wallpaper. More to come later.
