Story. Jabre and I were in one of those stores selling offensive T-Shirts (i.e. - ones that say "Fuck Off" or "<---- I'm with whore." or "My cock needs chickens" ...etc), and we saw a shirt that had the same Che Guevara image as the one I used for the wallpaper below. We've seen his face many times on campus (on walls and random places), but we really didn't know why so many hippies and potheads worshiped him. The chick running the place gave us this 3 hour lecture (it seemed) on what he did, and how he died for a cause (I'm not going into details, for more info checkout this article in the Wikipedia). To make a long story as short as Mr. Frodo's penis, he symbolizes "revolution and youthful political ideals." Why are young adult hippies and potheads alike inspired by him? Because he's basically anti-American, and in particular anti-American-government (i.e. - our foreign policies ...like how we're handling things in Iraq at the moment). And us [young adults], being rebellious due to how old we are, naturally admire the balls this guy had on him. (Plus, with his death being caused by American intervention, it only added fire to his revolution.) Having learned all of this, I really wasn't interested in making wallpaper for what he stands for; rather, it's just me remembering a time when I hung out with Jabre...that's all. Che Guevara doesn't symbolize revolution for me, but friendship. So with the Che Guevara wallpaper, I found a poster and edited it to look acceptable for use as wallpaper (the same can be said about The Ring 2 wallpaper). For the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex wallpaper, I found images from their official site, and vallah! They're all simple Photoshop edits, nothing spectacular. I'm steadily building up my skills. I hope you enjoy some of these. My favorite is the Che Guevara one. Maybe in the future, I'll make it in different colors.


1/12/05. In preperation for the release of Resident Evil 4, I thought it was only appropriate to make some wallpaper honoring it. So to further confuse the meaning of "Viva La Resistance" in relation to the desktop pictures (that's "wallpaper" in Mac-inese), here it is. Enjoy.

As always, if there's a monitor resolution that you'd want me to change any of my wallpaper to, or any suggestions you've got for me, send me an e-mail and I'll git her done. Note: Anyone who says "git her done" should die and burn in hell right now. I'm so fucking tired of hearing that shit.
