OK, in my book May represents the official start of the summer. Jumping off of tall things into water, cold beer on hot days, hanging out on the porch with your friends, all of it. Posting this wallpaper by Portland, Maine’s talented Christopher David Ryan means the days are just going to get exponentially better (+ longer) from here. Mr. Ryan, you are the bearer of great news.

For his edition, Chris strayed a bit from what you’d expect from May + instead of relying on the expected themes of a new season, he looked at the work he’d been doing in recent months + explored some of the visuals that’ve been recurring in his recent work. In his words, “…it is a a more personal manifestation of what this particular May meant in my world.” Sounds just about right to me as the start of warm weather often leads us to wrap up or leave behind ideas + projects from the colder months to move forward into the most righteous season there is. If you’re a jerk from Southern California or Texas or something + don’t care about seasons, I hope you can just enjoy looking at this awesome art.
