Copper – June 2026 Wallpaper


Despite being a simple giant rooster he's also a cop with a gun. There are no themes or meanings to go along with this excitement. There isn't even an accurate drawing of a revolver.

Thank you, as always, to supporters. You make these wallpapers possible.

Chorus – May 2026 Wallpaper

For some reason I imagine the sound of this chicken chorus as a barbershop quartet, but that is not the sound that a trio of chickens makes at all. They would just be squawking. In my research, which it may surprise you is a regular part of making this fine artwork, I did see the phrase chorus of gakels, but that's a frustrated hen sound and these punks are clearly having the time of their lives.

Thank you, as always, to my Patreon supporters for supporting this questionable project.

Bubbles – April 2026 Wallpaper

Sometimes I overthink and overdo these wallpapers but this one is nice and straight forward. The most important gimmick is that it tiles seamlessly so it will display nicely on any oddball displays. Together we are just peaking through the floating bubbles to see several angles of this chicken.

To my followers and fans, thank you as always for your support.

Blacklight – February 2026 Wallpaper


From the depths of a blacklight poster in the back of a questionable store in a shopping mall we bring you the latest in MS Paint Chicken art. This isn't actually what those looked like, but it's filled with a nostalgic feeling.

I haven't made a new vertical wallpaper in a while and when it comes to my phone background it's just going to need to stay a little on the gaudy side so this felt fresh.

Thank you as always to my supporters on Patreon and everywhere else on the net!

Space Chickens – December 2025 Wallpaper


We may be slightly behind on our regularly scheduled content, which is strange because I don't even have a schedule.

This, obviously, is based on my reliable Fantasy Football branding as the Space Chickens. Had it been posted in December I would tell you we were right in there, going the distance, competing for the Championship wrestling belt. Instead I'll tell you I lost in the end. But it's really all about the random trash talk we shared along the way. 

Enjoy these colorful chickens, and their mysterious home world.

Scratched Out – November 2025 Wallpaper


Instead of scratching away something that has managed to come together in a fit of rage you should let the messy thoughts guide something new. This piece started with the wild scratching and the rest of the wallpaper was built around it. Letting everything fade and blend we achieve a lovely chicken.

Since this was for last month it's a bit late, but as always, thank you for your support.

Ghost X Zombie – October 2025 Wallpaper


The spookiness of horror, violence and romance happening in the hen house as a Ghost (chicken) meets a Zombie (chicken)


Thank you as always to my Patreon supporters, and as a special occasion Happy Halloween.

Sight – September 2025 Wallpaper

Look at your reflection in the reflection of your reflection. Which one is real? Well, there are a lot of ways to answer that, but "Ceci n'est pas une poulet" as they say.

Welcome back to Chicken Maker and thank you to my Patreon supporters as always.

Blue Nights – August 2025 Wallpaper


Continuing the mood we've been in for the past week or so today's piece is Blue. Aren't most nights basically blue? Or is that just local light pollution? Either way it's a beautiful night. I'll see you all next time.

Thank you as always to my Patreon supporters. Without you I think this would still get at least a couple updates a month, because I like it.

Glow – July 2025 Wallpaper


For this month's wallpaper we're returning to one of the classics, the duality of red and blue. Hot and Cold. Passion and Calculation. Of course this site is purple because it's all a careful balancing act.

We have strong linework and a pleasant glow so slap this one on your computer. It will look great beside your browser icon and the shady 3rd party copy of MS Paint I assume you have installed.

Thank you, as always, to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. I still find it hard to believe you exist.

Tower – June 2025 Wallpaper

Climbing, striving to reach the peak with nothing in sight. Intense focus, relying on whatever tricks and dark deals you were forced to make along the way. A single slip and you'll fall, never able to climb again. This isn't a metaphor for anything. I just like dark mysterious cursed towers. Classic fantasy setting.

Thank you as always to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi.

Take Flight – May 2025 Wallpaper

For this month's wallpaper four silhouettes show a bold action, as the chicken attempts to take flight. A Stand, a Leap, a hesitant Stumble and finally Flight, which chickens quite infamously cannot do very well. That's what following your dreams and taking a leap of faith is all about though. You might stumble, but if you don't jump you'll never take flight.

Thank you, as always, to both my paid supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi and everyone who just occasionally comments. Keeps this whole thing fun.

Negative Spray – March 2025 Wallpaper


This piece is an exercise in the art of intentional imperfections. Because this is all digital it's somewhat trivial to get perfectly straight lines and perfect coverage with perfectly flat colors. Using physical paints you just naturally get a bit of texture or a slight fade from uneven coats, but here that simply isn't the case. When applying the color to the chicken's features I struggled to leave gaps without ugly chunks, because I also very much didn't want things to just be a solid color, but weird blocks not colored in are ugly.

Thank you for joining us for another wallpaper I should have posted two months ago. Might be time for me to enforce a schedule on myself again. Let's call it Mondays and Thursdays. That seems manageable for now and I'm saying it publicly so maybe it will actually happen

Twisted Heart – February 2025 Wallpaper


Letting one of these "monthly" wallpapers roll over into the next month doesn't really bother me, but this one is from February.

This bird suffers from the crushing experience of reality as it encounters the lovecraftian horror of love. (since this should have been for Valentine's Day) As the chicken's whole world falls apart, left cold and alone without a cute hen in sight, sweet whispers come from the void.

Back in Action – January 2025 Wallpaper

Fun action poses are good. Let's give this chicken a sword in its beak and have it cutting some vague baddies in half. Sometimes I lean towards robots, but this is bad samurai movie inspired so they're his fellow fowl instead.

Thank you, as always, to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. Without you I would probably be even more sporadic with updates than I already am.

Bright Shadows – December 2024 Wallpaper

Silhouettes are always hard, because I like how they look but they inherently feel lazy since I'm skipping steps like color and shading and linework. Anyways these are a pair of beautiful birds on a backdrop of warm waves.

Thank you as always to my supporters, and fans. Usually I emphasize the people giving me money on Patreon because that's exciting, but random guy who commented twice or left a like a Facebook. I appreciate you too. This website wouldn't be fun without you.

Muted Pastel – April 2024 Wallpaper

I didn't post this back in April, but let's go ahead and fix that before the end of the year. Honestly the muted pastels might actually suit winter better than spring. This is a fairly basic piece with a different palette and a more chunky angular background. The drop shadows give it a 'fake' look, like backdrops on a stage.

A bit late to say it on this one but thanks as always to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi

Gray Trees – November 2024 Wallpaper

Since last month I was dealing with some personal issues this got delayed until so far into December. Still, at least I got it up before Christmas (barely)

Usually with the grayscale I try to sneak in a bit of color, maybe a blue-ish tone or two, but for this we're going with the true monochrome. Enjoy the strong angular trees.

Pumpkin – October 2024 Wallpaper

 

Another Halloween has come and as we creep into the night we can see the candles flicker in the withering jack-o-lanterns. In the darkness, where only bird beaked squid-like beasts lurk the shining visage of a chicken is all that the safe boys and girls need to see.

As always this month's wallpaper is brought to you by my Patreon supporters. Thanks you for your support.

Neon Lines – September 2024 Wallpaper


New vertical wallpaper because I'm tired of the one on my phone, and I'm certainly not using someone else's. With crossed wings and golden horns I'd say this is some kind of devil chicken? Using that vague neon effect I'm always fond of, even if it is a bit cheap.

This shining horned devil neon chicken maybe has too much going on, but it's not like it's a cyborg zombie president or something.

Thank you as always to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi.
