Gothic Princesses
They say that hardship inspires fantasy. I believe it. During that time together in our cramped studio apartment in Berkeley, Lauren and I indulged in Fantasy as much as we could. We had to. Among the ways I expressed and enjoyed in the fantasy realm was making desktop wallpapers for myself. I think I made about fifty of ‘em. They range broadly in subject matter, as well as in technique. Some began with things I put on the scanner, some with pictures I had taken, some with pictures or interesting graphics I found here and there. They are all present here among the wallpaper on this site, each in its appropriate section. I am, however, going to gather these into a category called “2HousePlague“, just to have them all in one place.
Cloud Jet over Berkeley

This one’s from the Through a Window in Berkeley collection. It merits special attention for the uncannily jet-plane-shaped cloud, visible between the power lines.
