The desktop meme, ganked from telesilla:

1. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper on their Livejournal/Dreamwidth.
2. Explain in five sentences on why you're using that wallpaper!
3. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!





By me! Two Mucha illos, Laurel and Ivy, smushed together. I love the fullness of Ivy's face, and the lovely outdoorsy palette of both images. I don't know if you can read it, but the text at the bottom of the desktop reads "of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts/ without any irritable reaching after fact & reason," which is Keats on Negative Capability. When I've got stuff up, I can see those bits of text peeking out on either side of my dock, and they're a lovely little reminder.

Oh pretty! I love Mucha's work so much and that's a nice pairing with the Keats. :)

thanks! Who drew your icon girl - she's very much in the same style.

I adore Mucha's work. I have a half-dozen different Mucha posters that were all over the walls of my dorm room, and will probably be strategically placed in the apartment next year.
