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.

Kyle (February 23rd, 2007, 7:53 am)
Hey, to the guy who made this: I’ve got another site with some professional wallpapers. Link [www.EndEffect.com] specializing in mostly abstract and fractural wallpapers.
Great list by the way.

Chilehead (February 23rd, 2007, 10:06 pm)
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.

Wallpaperstock.com has some good wallpapers for different holidays and GraphicHorizon.net is a good site for movie lovers – you can get free wallpapers that are stills from movies. Wallpapers can be inspiring when you sit down to design – bold colors and far-away places always get my mind into creative gear!
