6 great WordPress theme designers
I lambasted WordPress theme designers for the negative things some of them do, so to make up for that here is a list of six I believe do a wonderful job. These artists all put out quality work for free, which is commendable, especially since after a release they are subjected to 75 comments from yahoos who think it could have been better done another way.
1. WPDesigner
Small Potato has consistently released great themes for over a year. Regrettably for us, he’s making some personal changes and will be selling the site… I don’t know if the themes will go with him, so if you want to see them, go now.
2. BlogOhBlog
Each theme topnotch work and Jai continually improves on the more popular ones, like BOB… v3 is in the works.
3. Design Disease
Home of the popular Illacrimo theme, as well as five others, every one of them is well constructed.
4. Deziner Folio
Themes, gradients, style and a gallery, all for free. Can’t beat that with a stick.
5. Kaushal Sheth
Fifty two themes to choose from, and all of them structurally sound.
6. Sadish
Sadish creates “useful and beautiful WordPress Themes”. I couldn’t agree more.
There’s no reason to put up with sloppy code when people like these are creating for us.

There are thousands of themes out there, so this is obviously not a comprehensive list… but these guys do crank out solid work. 
Thanks for the great round-up! I’ve only been using WP for about 4-5 months, and I’ve found a couple of clean themes that I like (cutline). I’ll definitely check out these designers when it’s time for a change!
