First, I have absolutely no affiliation with the following website. I found it searching around for some nice wallpaper. So much for disclaimers.
These folks do some really nice work, with several of their 192 wallpapers in shades of brown and/or gold. They also have several in what I guess would be called "African Modern", but I'm no art critic. I guess you just have to see for yourself.

Hope you like them.

Given the speed of that site, you'll need more than a weekend to do that... :neutral:
I can't see any of them, I'm just waiting and waiting... So far just a bunch of black screens.
I think that site has a bandwidth problem... :|
Pictures seem to be at art.softshape.com but I get connection refused if I try to go there...

Yeah, got it now. Maybe the site was down when I tried.
Anyone else noticed that it detects your screen resolution and loads the relevant size when you click a thumbnail? That's a neat idea.

Yeah, got it now. Maybe the site was down when I tried.That was this morning (Philippine time)
Now it's the same as before... I guess I can only see it in the morning, before Europe wakes up... :-?
Glad I got that giraffe this morning... :)

What happened to Vladstudio.com? It doesn't work anymore :(
I've found some of the wallpapers from other sites and they're great.
If only I could get the rest also...

All I get is a white page with nothing on it.
There isn't even any hidden stuff since looking
at the source doesn't show anything.
I've tried it with FF, Opera and even IE...

I'm a Mac guy. We're a real tight-knit community, and these are some of the quality ones that get thrown around in terms of quality.

I also like to head over to http://www.deviantart.com every now and then. There is a bunch of crap, but you'll find a gem every once in a while.

Works fine for me. I'm using Safari on the Mac at the moment.

I live in Finland and the only way I could access vladstudio.com
was by using a U.S. proxy server :-? :mad:
I'm not quite sure what to think of this... :-k
Has the site banned all Finnish IP's or something?
