chaoskaizer (February 23rd, 2007, 3:12 am)

I’m fond of art.softshape.com
Lifetime membership is $20 and gets the > 1024 res images, but 1024 and smaller sizes are free.

ALL the wallpapers on the Abstract Wallpapers page were STOLEN from Link [www.pixelgirlpresents.com]
Just to let you know so you can hopefully remove the junk website and give proper credit to the rightful website.
AsceticMonk (February 23rd, 2007, 6:07 am)
Hehehe, maybe you can consider adding my site in the list.

These look really great. I’ve also been a fan for a while of the free stuff at Link [www.mikebonnell.com] - although I’ve never broken down and shelled out the $12 to see what’s in the membership galleries, the free stuff is beautiful.
