DA! Desktop Anime was launched on 5/25/2000 and has been updated on a roughly monthly basis ever since. The site has gone through numerous incarnations throughout the years, but the focus has always been on anime and manga wallpapers. DAA!, Desktop Anime Archives, is an offshoot of the site that arose when I began culling out old wallpapers (which weren't designed for 1600x1200) and holds my wallpapers from 2000-2002. The current DA! holds wallpapers form 2003 and forwards, and has over 250 walls I designed.

About the current layout
You're viewing version 9.0, "The Zen of Anime Wallpapers" launched 5/25/2007. This design was begun when I bought Chinese Folks Designs at a library book sale so I could use the various Chinese papercut designs in my own works. I particularly liked the numerous floral designs, and began building a layout around them. The designs were first traced in Illustrator so I could use them at any size, and then I began designing the rest of the layout in Photoshop.
