I created pixelpoke as a repository for desktop backgrounds and free seamless tiles quite a while ago. I haven't updated it much in the past couple of years or so, but then again, neither have I accepted advertising, so let's call it a wash, eh?

But I have put up a new 'site (see below), Jason Waskey.com, that showcases my fine art (mostly figurative oil paintings). Please do check it out. No ads!

I climbed through the old links and updated 'em as appropriate. Enjoy.

Jason Waskey-- a shameless plug

Part of the site devoted to my own fine art-- not really pixels, just paint.
