That is pretty cool.
A bit too feminine for my taste, but cool.
Also, that grid is creating that block dot intersection optical illusion (do you know what im talking about?, if not I will try to find an example). It can be distracting as a wallpaper with that.

well the wallpapers are ok, that traced image looks like something from Ray of Light.

It _is_ from rayoflight
i do believe i’ve mentioned it on the site:beam:
i did it and uploaded it to demonstrate to my friend what illustrator can do (a self potrait is a job too big for a lazy guy)
hm…maybe there is a slight difference
i recall that instead of optimist i was thinking of the word happy (and somewhere in my head i heard a voice say ‘gay’)

Rainbows are feminine. I just hate pink. I dislike purple, but don’t hate it.
But yeah… remember Rainbow Bright? That 80s cartoon? Reminds me of that 🙂

I immediately thought gay myself. But not in terms of bad, but
since a rainbow is a symbol of the “gay community,” it’s what I
thought of right away.
Some of those are pretty good tho. Good job.
