Wallbase is dying: see [1].

4walled.cc is a similar if much less polished service. Also see WallHaven.cc, which some of Wallbase's staff is working to make Wallbase's new home.

There is also nik.bot.nu, socwall.com & probably others.

thanks for letting me know, I had no idea the site was on the way down.

Thank you for this post. I had noticed wallbase was stagnant but didn't know there was a successor in the works. Thanks for pointing it out..

I'm wallpaper-obsessed and I recommend Kuvva (http://www.kuvva.com ). It gives you curates bursts of 7+ quality original wallpapers every week, on iOS and OSX, thanks to a partnership with actual art galleries.

This said, I think there's still a niche for a website or app specialising in new minimalistic wallpapers. Also, I'd pay for a "wallpaper-on-demand" service where one could order custom pics - I think photo websites like 500px are missing a trick there.

The site is beautiful but, unless I am missing something, I can only see a preview of the wallpaper from the browser. I have to have a mac or iphone.

Yeah, it's iOS+OSX only.
