Wallpaper Windows XP Images

I've been asked many times if there is central location for my wallpaper images. So, instead of posting them in individual blog entries, I've assembled the collection here. Each is available at 1920 x 1200 (16:10 aspect ratio, "widescreen") and 1600 x 1200 (4:3 aspect ratio, "standard"). If you'd like all of the images, you can download the widescreen (56.4MB) or standard (48.5MB) zip files.

I often receive queries about using these images for other purposes. All I usually ask for is a brief description about how you intend to use the image(s), a photo credit, and either a pointer to where the image is used or a physical sample of the materials that use it. If you're interested, please contact me for permission. Thank you in advance.

Last, I wrote an article called How I Make My Wallpaper Images describing how I create these images. This is in response to the many questions I receive via e-mail. I hope you enjoy it.
