    I have a folder full of wallpapers from this site. They have new ones all the time, and sometimes they're pretty cool. I'm just learning to make some of my own in Photoshop, too.

    I wish I could draw that well! (I belong to the stick figure school of art. :))

    I'm not sure who drew it, but it depicts the character Death, from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. The High Cost of Living was a series title, soon to be released as a film.

    Yup! :D I can't wait. Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth etc) is executive producer, which is cool. Though the working title is apparently Death and Me. >_>

    I haev a picture I came across while stumbling through the internet. It was this website, where the only thing the site consisted of was a picture. No links to anywhere else. It was a neon sign that said "Everything it going to be alright"

    I thought it was a fantastic idea. Imagine someone having the worst day of their life coming across this website. I know I have days where I just need to hear that it'll be alright. So I made it my desktop image.

    I just googled that and wow I like it. Just those words on like a neon sign or something. Somewhat soothing to look at too.

    If anyone is interested in getting these wallpapers I can zip them into a file and upload them somewhere for you. I have spent time making these fit a widescreen - each one is 1366 X 768 pixels. Just pm me and I'll send you the link.

    Here's a thumbnail of the others:

    Okay, cool - just send me a private message letting me know if you want the file. Because I'm not the artist I don't feel comfortable putting the link out in public, but I'm happy to send you the link privately to download a zipped file of the ones I've resized to fit a widescreen. (As in the pic with all the thumbnails).

    Also, if you want to have the pictures change automatically every few minutes or so, I use the free program Deskslide, which can be found here. It's very easy to use and doesn't take up much memory or space on your computer.

    Will do.

    I browsed that website and that artist is talented!

    I think my favorites (beside the bookcase one) are the dream service and the solar system. There was also this cool one on his site with a town at night. It's eerie but I like it.

    Yeah, he is talented - and prolific too! I wonder how long it takes for him to do each one - because many of them look like they are very precise and must take ages.

    I have a pic from my photo art file. Basically pics I take and have fun with. An example is my avitar, and the pics I have in my album on here.

    The one for my current desktop, is a pic looking down on a stool that has a rubber mallet and a pipe wrench laying on it. It has lots of differnt textures, and I find it calming. It looks kind of antiquish.

    With the Leafs season effectively over, I changed my background to the cover of Dream Theater's new album.
