The Olympics is almost upon us! Smashing Magazine releases a collection of free desktop calendars every month, and July’s offerings include two Olympics-themed images for those who’re in the sporting spirit.
This is what Smashing Magazine has to say about its monthly wallpapers:
We always try our best to challenge your artistic abilities and produce some interesting, beautiful and creative artwork. And as designers we usually turn to different sources of inspiration. As a matter of fact, we’ve discovered the best one—desktop wallpapers that are a little more distinctive than the usual crowd. This creativity mission has been going on for over four years now, and we are very thankful to all designers who have contributed and are still diligently contributing each month.
We continue to nourish you with a monthly spoon of inspiration. This post features free desktop wallpapers created by artists across the globe for July 2012. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free. It’s time to freshen up your wallpaper!
Aside from the Olympics, there are plenty of other calendars, most of them summer-themed as the majority of contributing designers are from the Northern Hemisphere. Here’s a small sampling.

Do you regularly use a monthly calendar as wallpaper? Where do you get it from?
