I originally started on the Licensed to Ill ones, and those turned out well. I wanted to create some wallpapers for each album using a solid color and some element from the album art. Licensed to Ill and the Paul's Boutique ones turned out as I wanted, but I really couldn't figure out anything to do with the other three albums. Those ones suck. I couldn't call it the album series with only two albums, so here are all of them. I particularly don't like the Ill Communication wallpaper.

I received my first computer during the summer of 1998 just before the release of Hello Nasty. I created my first Beastie Boys desktop the same day I got it and since then I have created countless others. The select few which are offered are among my personal favorites; hence "The Cream of the Crop."
