[ubuntu-art] hardy artwork

[Sumit Chandra Agarwal]

I think the strongest offering so far is this one:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Fela_Kuti
All desktops, Mac, Vista, etc are trying to present 'clean modern' 
desktops, and have been for the last few years. In fact, the trend seems 
to be somewhat forward of that, going past modernist desktops to 
something more textured or detailed, but still clean.

I think this is a graphic that has the chance not only to 'catch up' 
visually with the other OS default desktops, but to even leap frog 
ahead. Its beautiful, hip, clean, and even thematic.

Best,
Sumit
