I wanted a new iPhone lock screen wallpaper. This is the result. Trio Hot is the image shown. Trio Cold is a blue and purple variant. Downloads are Retina res. Let me know if you'd like an iPad version.
@Henrique Gusso I'll give an iPad and desktop wallpaper a shot this weekend hopefully. Will be posted as a new shot on Dribbble with a download link.
@charlesriccardi Nope. I have 4 layers of triangles (as shape layers in Photoshop), with a bitmap layer masked to it. The bitmap layer was a photo with some corrections. I then applied a mosaic filter on so that each block was entirely flat, but masked with the triangles. This means is quick to experiment with lots of different source images. I tried about 6 before settling on the final image. I created the triangles in Illustrator first, at the exact resolution needed for the final image (each square is 32 × 32 px, so it fits perfectly into the iPhone's 640 × 960 resolution).
The colour treatment is completely separate — a gradient map and gradient, plus levels for a little more contrast and punch.

I remember seeing some of Andy's work a while ago. I really like it! Crazy complexity in some of them. His work wasn't a direct inspiration for this wallpaper, but I'm happy to be compared. Would love to know how he creates his images.

All done. Available in 3 delicious flavours: Hot (shown), Cool (darkish purple) and Cold (blueish). Took slightly longer than expected… these aren't straight resize/crops, they're drawn at each size.
If you downloaded the previous iPhone wallpaper, please redownload this version (lots of small improvements).

Really love these, they've given my lockscreen some much-needed freshness. Would love an iPad version if you wouldn't mind :)
