August 2009 marks the 5 year anniversary of Design*Sponge and as a special gift to readers, each month D*S will be giving away a free desktop wallpaper.

Each month one of our favorite artists will be creating a custom work of art that you can download as your desktop wallpaper. Stay tuned to see works from artists like Jen Corace, Camilla Engman, Julia Rothman, Dan Funderburgh, Mike Perry, Lena Corwin, Nama Rococo and more. Thank you to all of the artists for donating their time and work- and thank you to all of you for reading and supporting D*S over the past 5 years.
