Modern cross-stitch patterns?

Question

I have recently gotten into cross stitch but I'm kind of dissapointed with the range of designs. I'm looking for some funky, modern cross stitch patterns - no ducks or country or lions! Can anyone suggest some websites or books? I'm looking for free preferably but I'm willing to pay for awesome designs!
