Windows 7 wallpapers

However, I just had a look at these original desktop themes for the new Windows 7 OS. They were commissioned by 72 and Sunny that collaborated with 12 artists from around the world- and they are wonderful.
Glass Microbiology
Luke Jerram’s glass sculptures of various disease viruses, are an exploration “between the artworks’ beauty and what they represent, their impact on humanity”. And they are truly stunning.
