05/07/08 -- It looks like the new links I added over the weekend were not as easy to use as I has hoped. Sorry for the confusion. I've switched back to the old links so everything should be easy to find again. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
05/03/08 -- You may notice that my site links look a little different this morning. I've compacted the long lists of links by converting them to expandable menus. I think the links look a little cleaner this way and hopefully the site will be easier to navigate.
I've tested the links in all the major browsers and didn't see any problems, but please feel free to drop me a line if you notice something amiss. If nothing happens when you roll over the links try hitting "CTRL-R" to completely refresh the page and load all the neccessary code.
04/24/08 -- Added dual and triple screen versions of "Island Time" to the Members Gallery this morning.
04/21/08 -- Added "Island Time" to the Members Gallery this morning.
04/13/08 -- I added "Planitia" to the free gallery this evening, replacing "Satori".
04/09/08 -- Added dual and triple screen versions of "Starbirth (2008)" to the Members Gallery this morning.
This forum thread was brought to my attention a couple of days ago. I'd like to mention it here for a couple of reasons. First, I want to thank the members of this particular forum for setting the original poster straight on the ethics of purloining access to my Members Gallery. More importantly, I wanted to make it clear to every one who might not know: All of the artwork in Free and Members galleries is created by a single artist (me).
Digital Blasphemy is a one man show, not a "giant international mega-business". I'm just an artist trying to make a living with my art. When you purchase a Membership you are directly supporting me and my family, not some faceless corporation.
I realize that there are a number of different art styles in the gallery and it is flattering to think that people mistake this for the work of numerous artists. DB has been online for more than 10 years and I would have hung it up a long time ago if I could only make one kind of picture.
Anyway, just wanted to share it with you all. It's definitely not the first time I've read people discussing "pirating" my work (an eerie feeling to be sure), but this particular discussion gave me some hope.
04/06/08 -- Added "Starbirth (2008)" to the Members Gallery this morning.
03/22/08 -- Added "Moonshadow" to the Members Gallery this morning.
I also wanted to mention that I've set up a Photo Album on Facebook where people can share pictures of their desktops. I was very curious as to what my dual and triple-screen images look like "out in the wild" since I only run one monitor myself.
There's some really cool setups so check them out if you are interested. Feel free to share your workstation too!
03/18/08 -- Last evening Jessie, Ian and I had dinner with an old friend of mine from High School that I've only recently gotten back in touch with. We got to talking about how he had used Facebook to find some our old mutual friends and that got me thinking that maybe I should get with the times and create a profile for myself.
So while waiting for some test renders to finish this morning I went ahead and posted a profile for myself and one for Digital Blasphemy on Facebook. Hopefully this will give me some new ways to touch base with some of you who enjoy my work. Feel free to stop by and leave a comment (perhaps tell me some ways I can make better use of my profile page). I've been online for more than fifteen years now but this is my first crack at "social networking". We'll see how it goes!
03/11/08 -- Last year I was approached by New Age star David Helpling about using one of my images for his latest album cover. He wanted to use one of my favorites, Cathedral. The album, "Treasure", was released last summer and was a big success.
I just learned this evening that it won the NAR Lifestlyle Award for Best Cover Art of 2007, beating out some really incredible work. Believe it or not this is the first time one of my images has won any kind of award.
Even though they don't credit me on the web site (I'm credited in the CD) I'm still pretty proud of it and wanted to let you all know.
03/07/08 -- I added "Crucible" to the free gallery this evening, replacing "Vigil".
03/06/08 -- Added dual and triple screen versions of "Lone Tree" to the Members Gallery this morning.
03/03/08 -- Added "Lone Tree" to the Members Gallery this morning. I had rendered two versions of this image; one with a person reclining under the tree, one without.
I've featured the version without the person, but both versions are available to Members in my Pickle Jar and their feedback will decide which version I eventually go with.
02/28/08 -- I've added previews of all my "Pickle Jar" images. You'll find the links for "Pickle Jar Versions" in the Members Gallery preview and on my New Images page.
