A few posts back I mentioned that I was spending some time getting to know how best to use Inkscape, the Open Source vector graphics application.
Well, just to prove it, I decided to post a few of the wallpapers I've produced using Inkscape and, to a lesser extent, the GIMP (image editing software).
All of the artwork was designed for CrunchBang Linux, which I have installed on my main machine at home. It's a fabulous distribution with a warm, friendly and rapidly-expanding community - there's a link to the CrunchBang home page off to the left there and I encourage you to give it a try.
Anyway, here are some examples of the work I've been doing - feel free to download and use them if you like them.

Would you recommend #! over Mint now?
@ Brian - oh hell, that's some question!
I'm always reluctant to recommend one distro over another - it depends on your personal criteria/requirements/preferences.
What I will say is that I've got three PCs here (not counting the family one and an ancient, dusty old Compaq I use for testing stuff).
Of the two reasonably-specced desktops, one runs CrunchBang on the main partition and (currently) Debian Lenny on the smaller one, while the other machine has Linux Mint 6.0 on it exclusively.
I haven't logged into Lenny since I reviewed it, and I haven't switched on the Mint machine in weeks.
And my Dell laptop has CrunchBang on it too, which I use a lot.
So, I guess that, in trying not to answer your question, I've answered your question!!
There's undoubtedly some truth in the argument that distro-hopping junkies like me move on all-too-frequently, but I can't remember having stayed with the same distro for so long before and having been so happy/comfortable with it.
I still love Mint - it's certainly one of the top two or three IMO - it's just that at the moment I'm loving #! more.
#! also has a brilliant community - the forum is the friendliest I've ever taken part in, and I've used pretty much all of them over the years.
