Heh, I can't resist throwing this one up.  It's the source image for our new 
splash screen (staged in my real rose garden):

Though I realize it would probably be bad taste for Ubuntu Studio to use 
something so Rosegarden-specific in any kind of wholesale way, I was thinking 
it might be interesting as part of a collage or something.

If you like the style, but want something less Rosegarden, I have lots of 
instruments, electronica, and art supplies around that suggest interesting 
juxtapositions.  Hang a digital camera off my beat up Roland guitar amp with 
a spilled jar of paint brushes in front of it or something.  I don't know.  I 
could spend a day playing, but I don't actually have a day to play anytime in 
the next few.  I don't have any lights either, and the natural light sucks 
right now.
