Here are some that I have found on deviantart.com that I think would work well. 
 Many of these are already licensed under the Creative Commons License.  I 
expect that the all creators would be happy that we would consider including 
their wallpapers in a release.  We just have to ask.  We could also ask if they 
are willing to make different sizes of the wallpapers.
