New Charuca Desktop

Charuca, the Spanish artist who appeared in our Scooter Art issue and contributed an illustration for a Scoot! T-shirt, has a new desktop that you can download from Pixel Girl Presents. While it doesn't have a scooter, it does have a couple of mini-cars, which always seem to find a following in the scooter world.

You can find out more about Charuca's retro-inspired artwork at her site, Mondo Trendy. I also recommend that you periodically check out Pixel Girl Presents for fun icons (Mac or PC) and more engaging desktop wallpapers. She even has a section for iPhone wallpapers.

You can also own a piece of Charuca's art when you buy the t-shirt at the
Scoot!Magazine web store.

Art Vespa...Cool Idea

I hapened upon this news item. Vespa South Africa had a contest where design professionials were asked to create an artistic treatment for an LX. The winners each won an LX bearing his/her design. I think that is a great idea. It gets the design community involved with customizing the scooters, which is a big draw to scooterists, and provides some interesting news about the company. I'd love it if a manufacturer in the US would do the same.
Check out the
Vespa South Africa site for other winners and a downloadable computer wallpaper of the entries.

Scooter Desktop Wallpaper

I love Pixel Girl Presents, a great place to get icons and desktops for your computer. I have several on my computer which make it more homey, since I spend so many hours a day in front of it. :) This one has lots going on, but you'll see a fenderlight Vespa near the center. Check out the other desktops the site has and visit the corresponding artists for more inspiration.
