Another 38 Amazing Wallpapers
Another 38 Amazing Wallpapers Posted on June 12th, 2008 under Desktop Customization After the big success that was my first Wallpaper compilation I’ve decided to make another one. This time several sources were searched, where before I mainly focused on DeviantArt. The release of Desktopography 2008 had a bit of influence on this compilation since it contains some of the most beautiful wallpapers of the year. Don’t forget to leave comments (if possible) in the authors pages to thank them for their work.

Sagaki Keita (click images for detail) Artist Sagaki Keita was born in 1984 and lives and works in Tokyo. His densely composited pen and ink illustrations contain thousands of whimsical characters that are drawn almost completely improvised. I am dumbstruck looking at these and love the wacky juxtaposition of fine art and notebook doodles.

mental_floss Blog & Strange Geographies: the Forgotten High School of... At the turn of the last century, Goldfield was a mining boomtown -- prospectors were pulling millions of dollars worth of ore out of the ground each year, and with a population that ballooned to more than 30,000 by 1904, it was the largest town in the state of Nevada. It was a classic Old West success story: gun-slinging heroes like Wyatt Earp trod its wooden sidewalks, and in a society where the real measure of a town's worth was its bar-and-whorehouse scene, Goldfield had the rest beat: Tex Rickard's Northern Saloon had a bar so long it required 80 bartenders to run it. Of course, I wouldn't be writing about Goldfield if everything had kept going like gangbusters. One of those buildings is Goldfield High School, built during the boom years in 1907. The second-floor hallway, and one of many open or broken windows. Chalk for a long-gone chalkboard. The teacher's writing on this board is still readable. The floor is beginning to buckle in this classroom. A science classroom.

TwistedSifter Primary Flight 08 Wall of Fame "Primary Flight was simply born out of necessity. A core group of Miami artists seized exposure through concrete wall space. Basel is a great time to get loose in Miami. In 2007, we decided to invite friends and friends of friends to have control over some concrete of their own, showcase it under one umbrella. Primary Flight came to exist through the efforts of BooksIIII, Andrew Black, Typoe, SKH, and Anthony Spinello all from Miami, Logan Hicks from NY, Lynn Yohana Howard from NY, and Modart Mag, our good friends from across the pond. These folks help give the exhibition its flavor. Asylum Best Boxi Ron English Shepard Fairey This year, 40 artists were scheduled to exhibit, once we got our hands on Miami's wall of fame, it became 65 over night, by the time Basel had arrived, it had exploded into 80 artists.
