I found digital blasphemy to have great images for wallpaper even if you have to pay for the full set if you want more than the free stuff (http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/)

###Be advised###

Mcafee Site Advisor finds a problem with skins.be as they distribute adware. Check site advisor here: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/skins.be

Also a minor problem with customize.org, it appears they publish e-mail addresses on the web making them available to spammers. Check here:

All other links were tested and are safe according to Mcafee SiteAdvisor.

Thanks for doing this episode on desktop wallpaper. One of my favorites used to be Webshots because they had a large selection of vintage black-and-white photos that you could use for wallpaper. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to do wallpaper anymore.

My 15-year-old daughter is a big fan of Deviant Art, as well. I think it would appeal to the same crowd that like Animes Paper.
