Space bananas are more delicious.
It’s about time we have another monkey running around, right?
This time the monkey is in space, flying around eating radioactive bananas and whatever else monkeys in space do.
There are aliens, asteroids, and grenades to avoid, bananas to collect, and a couple of repeatable backgrounds that would work well in any space game.

Keep the cars from crashing!
Cars, roads, and traffic lights – what could go wrong?
If you’ve wanted to make a game where the user must play God (or at least the traffic controller) and avoid traffic jams, this art pack is for you! There are some backgrounds with roads, cars to drive on them, and some traffic lights to control the chaos.
This game pack was suggested by a reader – thanks Teramo! If you would like to suggest a game pack, check out this blog post.
Another way to crash your cars

A flying fish!
This art pack was created by Holly Jensen, who is currently accepting contracting jobs for mobile apps and games! You can contact her at hollytales@comcast.net, or check out her portfolio at http://hollyjensen.carbonmade.com.
There have been several requests for more art for side-scrolling games, especially characters with jet packs!
Holly loved that idea, and came up with a cool goldfish character that escapes his pond and goes for a jaunt.
He’s got turbo jetpacks to fly around with, enemies and objects to avoid, and even coins and bonuses to collect!
You’ll also find a repeatable background with an alternate variation, as well as background objects to add randomly to create more variation within the levels. Read on to see the whole pack!
A fish's dream: flying via jetpacks!

For when you just can't stand capital letters...
The letter tiles seem to be a good pack – perfect for all sorts of word games and app!
A request has been made to add lowercase letters to it. Great idea!
So here you go: lowercase letter tiles that go with the previous letter pack – and be sure to get that pack if you need capitals, blank tiles, or extras like “SHUFFLE” or “SUBMIT” tiles!
As always, I LOVE to hear about what games you make with the free art on this site – if you finish a game with it, send me an email via my Contact page or direct message me on twitter!

These puffins will be ringing in the new year!
It’s taught me a lot, encouraged me to explore Illustrator and Photoshop, and allowed me to create one piece of art each month just for me (well, and all of you!) rather than for our business.
By the way, there are versions of each wallpaper without the month on it, so it’s still a great place to find pretty desktop, iPhone, and iPad wallpapers!
This year, I have created an actual paper calendar out of my artwork. Some of the wallpapers had to be reworked extensively, and one of the months is completely new. But you’ll see a lot of familiar friends in this calendar :]
I mostly created the calendar to give as gifts, but I am also giving one calendar away to a reader of this blog!
To enter, simply comment on this post and tell me your favorite wallpaper of mine. The deadline for commenting is by the end of the day on Friday, December 21.
I will pick a random winner and mail it to you, anywhere in the world. Be sure to include your correct email when commenting – that is how I will contact you to get your address!
With luck, it will get to you by late December or early January, and you can enjoy 12 original illustrations all year :]
Here’s a peek at all the months:
Desktop wallpapers turned into calendars!
Thank you so much to everyone who has enjoyed my wallpapers – it was wonderful to hear that other people liked and used them!
P.S. – if you want to read more about the calendar, I also posted about it on my art blog.
UPDATE: The winner of the giveaway is Maurice – congrats! Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment, your support makes it fun to make art :]

What are you waiting for?
This game art pack was created in response to a suggestion left on this post – if you have an idea for a game pack, go to that post and submit your idea!
There are a lot of word games out there that just use letter tiles and maybe a board. Using your imagination and these letter tiles, you’ll have your own word game in no time!

The best treat is hanging around with the right person during the holidays…
What is it about December that makes me love birds and tree branches? This time, the birds are hanging on the tree – and those of you who also follow my other blog will notice the reappearance of the penguin shapes that I am obsessed with.
I am an indie artist and illustrator. I create iPhone apps with my husband, who runs an iPhone tutorial blog.
You can also find me on my personal blog, where I talk about a wider variety of topics: favorite animals, latest projects, personal updates, and occasionally dragons.
Follow me on Twitter, where I tweet on topics related to graphic design in games and iPhone apps!
