Desktop dump
The first thing many people do when they get a new computer is customize the desktop. You can check out a bunch of designer's desktops at K10K's OnDisplay project. When i was going though my files today, i realized i still had a copy of every image i've used as my desktop.
The very first desktop picture i ever made [1] featured my hero Bill Nye. It obnoxiously tiled across my desktop. That lasted for a while until one day i stopped by the Abercrombie site and they had a bunch of interesting pictures there. They had one with three girls in a car with the words "Spirit. Friendship. Competition." [2]. I thought it would be funny if i Photoshopped my name in. Thus began a string of desktop images feature AndF pictures with my name blended in. I'd often put in a random phrase [4,5] or amusing comment [7,8]. I customized one for the first show i was in [6]. I even threw in the one i made last week [10].
So, what are you looking at?
