My husband put a new wallpaper on our computer this morning. It's Norma Desmond coming down the staircase for her "closeup" in Sunset boulevard. It is so cool, the play of light and dark (in black and white) is perfectly balanced and beautiful, and she is soooo creepy! What's on your wallpaper?
WOW I put it on here all by myself! :D Now you can see!

this is a bit pointless...but interesting. anyway, I change mine all the time. Right now it is the cover of the Pink Floyd album "A Collection of Great Dance Songs". That isn't because I like that particular CD but because I like the cover. My dad used to have a poster of it. Earlier today I had a picture by Picasso called "Picador".

My wallpaper is the painting "Girl with a Turban" by Vermeer (lived in 1600s). I am at school doing a replica of this painting, which is really fun!

I like Heronymous Bosch as my wallpaper at the mo', tho' that will probably change is a week or so:)

Lot's too see in his paintings and I chose them because I'm convinced my computer is controlled by the machinations of hell and looks like this on the inside anyway (the bedamned thing only does what it chooses to do);)

After having a picture of my baby nephew for almost a year now, i just recently changed it to a seasonal one: a lit jack-o-lantern arranged on a table with some Indian corn (or at least that's what we called it when I was little).
Lizra
10-13-2002, 07:54 PM
Oh, you mean native american corn, huh! :D Had the same one for a year! I can relate :). My answering machine died this weekend. The message on it was ten years old from my other house before we moved. I hate to make a new one. I want everything to stay the same! But changing computer wallpaper is fun, there is almost an infinite amount of cool stuff! The shire picture is lovely! The Vermeer painting is wonderful! Maybe I'll paint her too.
Laurelyn
10-13-2002, 07:58 PM
My wallpaper's boring; it's just clouds. I think I'm going to change it into something seasonal sooer or later, though. Any really good ideas that my mom won't have a problem with?
The picture of the Shire is nice, but Mom's not a tolkienite. *sigh*

On my station in the office, I have a picture of Smeagol and Deagol riding on a boat. I think it's a flashback since it's supposed to be a TTT spoiler picture.
At home, I have a colored map of Middle-Earth which, from time to time, I replace with that of the lands of Beleriand.

Funny you should mention that, because a few days ago my sisters and I were watching the LOTR and my sisters were talking about Viggo being in Psycho. Now, I saw only the end of it and so I nearly died when my sister said he was naked in it. Needless to say, I will be, some time in the future, be searching Google for shots of this so called scene. :D Actually, whenever I try to put LOTR wallpaper up (decent wallpaper :) ) my sister goes and changes it to Craig David wallpaper. :rolleyes:

It was like that here too before we got Dave. My sister never liked my fantasy-backgrounds. She claimed that they were 'too big' and kept making the computer slower and more prone to hang itself.:rolleyes: At least she knew better than to put Craig David on it. ;)

As a hobby, I make hi-res wallpapers by taking photographs, album covers, memorable shots from movies, and the like and editing them in Photoshop so they look like authentic paintings. Right now, I have a lush watercolor of Orthanc surrounded by Orcs taken from the last Two Towers trailer.
I'd post some of my work, but they are extremely large files. Sometime I'll put them all up on a website of sorts... I was working on doing that earlier this summer, but my web host went down.

My Wallpaper is "The Spring" from Final Fantasy X - it is really pretty.
Tidus and Yuna are in the bottom left corner and the rest of it is all blue. The water has refelections of the stars and there are ice crystals around the waters edge. There is a golden looking tree up the right hand side.
It is one of my favourites, but I am going to change it when TTT comes out to a LOTR one.

that's one thing i like about my computer, i can put up whatever background i want and nobody changes it cause they have they're own background on they're own little account or whatever it's called. right now my background is a big picture of a panda bear. i think i'm gonna change to a real close up picture of a cow though. or einstien sticking out his tounge.

Artanis, is the spelling of Scmiel correct? I've tried to search for these lovely pictures on Google, without any results. :(
Also, the picture at the link Emplynx provided is too small. It looks terrible when stretched, but it's too tiny normally. I'll just stick to my desktop pic, though I would really love a map of Arda.

On this computer (my dad's), the background was a medium sized picture of John Paul II. That was there a few years. The picture for the past year or so is an old family photo: http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/42535102z16c63cbb/6f60/__sr_/9164.jpg?phY7hDDBDTcSa5QG .
