Desktop Wallpaper

[Santa's Boyfriend]

I'm looking for a new desktop wallpaper for my computer, but looking around has produced some fairly dreary results.  If you lot have a good image you're using as your desktop image could you post it here?  Or if you have a good link to some nice images?  Most of the stuff I've seen on my trawls has been just so DULL!

I have fallen head over heels in love with this.

I'm using this at the moment.  It may not be to your taste but it cheers me up a bit.

I'm using this one at the moment. It's great.

Blimey.  That last one wasn't the kind of thing I was expecting!!  Like the top image, but I don't own any records, so I would feel like a charlatan using that one...

EDIT:  Now why the hell did I not think of typing "desktop wallpaper" into google?  I've typed allsorts of other things.  Anyway, this place came up and it's got some nice images in it:

This Distance So Immense

DeviantArt has some great wallpapers. You'll need to browse through a fair bit of crap but it's all categorised, which helps.

I'm using this at the moment. Without wanting to wax lyrical, I love the way it takes familiar and comfortable scenery, and with a simple trick of perspective turns it into something bleak and sort of heart-breaking.

Edited to make them bigger. My desktop isn't 2" wide.

[Frinky]

Did you make those, LP?

[Lt Plonker]

I captured them from my DVDs. An infinite number of wallpapers can be found on my DVDs.

[Purple Tentacle]

Frinky would like this.

Yes, it's my background.

Heh, lovely. I posted (once) a beautiful shot of the A filming model "docked" from a forward view. I wish I still had it.

I've just popped this on the laptop this morning:



You might like this one, PT. Desktop, erm, desktop:

That is goshdang awesome. Almost as good as that Enrico (or whatever it was called) Mario artwork. I've never felt so sorry for the fat little wop. He does a great job.

I've been using THIS for at least a couple of years.I think it's lovely, I reckon I grabbed it from here. So if it was a whore who posted the image, then thanks.

[wheatgod]

Heres mine, and the pic I use for it.

THIS has been a fav of mine for a long time now....

It says I don't have permission to access that resource.

[Sovereign]

this is mine, I'm not linking it coz its quite small, but looks fine when stretched on the desktop

Can you explain what the Hell that is please Sovereign? It looks like the Devil doing yoga while his brains ooze out of his head.

its a stillborn baby with anencephaly with some sort of preservative/formaldahyde injected into its veins so it doesn't rot, which is why its red. Its pretty fucked up with that staring at you all day when your at the PC. Pretty Macabre, but beautiful in a weird kinda way.

[NattyDread]

Been using this mofo for a while. Love it.

Erm, thank you. My original reaction was to make retching noises, but then I remembered that I have some similar pictures in a book about odd collections.
And yes, it is beautiful - but I'll bet you don't leave it switched on on a computer in your bedroom, floating there while you sleep.

This seems a reasonable place to ask this question:

Has anyone invented auto-updating wallpaper for macs yet? I've got the BBC World Cup wallchart on at the moment. I can fill in the scores myself on photoshop, but it's a bit of an arse, obviously. One which updated itself (but didn't vanish when the computer is not internetted) would be ace. And there's a whole lot more potential for stuff there too of course.

Thats driving me up the wall - Fast Asleep on the right, but what does it say on the left?

And why is she sleeping on a CPU core? Nargh!

I thought it said "Funk urchin fast asleep".

Glad you like it- there seems to be something about his endless questing that lends itself to a bleak interpretation.
