06/25/09 -- It's still a work in progress, but I've posted my latest render up in the Members Gallery this morning. It's called "Enshrouded" and I expect to have a new version up in the next few days.

06/21/09 -- Lately, I've gotten a number of emails from folks alerting me to the fact that my work is being used by another designer in the "Firefox Personas" gallery. Personas are a way to apply an image to your web browser interface, kind of like a skin. Just so everyone will know, I haven't decided what to do about this MaDonna person. The Persona gallery doesn't really allow you to contact the designer and she/he doesn't have any links that I could find. Guess I will have to go through the site.

Anyway, the experience inspired me to create a few of my own "Personas" (while waiting for renders) and you can check them out here. If the response is positive I could see making a few more.

06/16/09 -- I've added "Starbirth (2008)" to the free gallery this morning and moved "Cosmogony" back into the Members Gallery. I expect to have a new Members Gallery image up soon.

05/25/09 -- Here in the States we are celebrating Memorial Day, but before we load up the kids for the family cookout I wanted to post my latest project in the Members Gallery. It's called "Beginning of the End" and it is a near complete 180 from "In Full Bloom". Sort of bleak, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

Also, this is the last day of Zazzle's 70% off poster sale. Coupon code "MEMORIALSALE".

Lastly, I will be increasing the fees for Lifetime Memberships at the end of the month (though not all the way back to their previous level). The price will be $75 for new Members and $60 for renewals. Please act now if you want to lock in the current low price!

05/23/09 -- I am currently putting the finishing touches on my latest render but this news couldn't wait. Zazzle is having a big sale for Memorial Day weekend. All posters (including mine) are 70% off!; Just enter code "MEMORIALSALE" at checkout. Get em while they're hot!

05/01/09 -- Added "In Full Bloom" to the Members Gallery this afternoon. Let there be spring!

04/26/09 -- Last night I reduced the price for current (and former) Members to purchase Lifetime Renewals. They are now $49 rather than $99. The response has been very positive so I've decided to change the price for new signups as well.

Forthwith, or until I decide otherwise, the price for DB Lifetime Memberships will be $59 (down from $99). If the price is attractive to enough people, it will stay that way. Otherwise this may be a limited time offer.

04/18/09 -- I've posted dual and triple-screen versions of "Temple of the Leaf" in the Members Gallery this morning.

04/16/09 -- I've added "Moonshadow" to the Free Gallery this morning and moved "The Grid" back to the Members Gallery.

04/13/09 -- No sooner had I posted the "Temple of the Leaf" when requests from my Members started coming for a night version. It took me a little longer than I would have liked (tweaking the lights, etc) but here it is. I hope to have the multi-screen versions up soon and then move on to new projects.

03/31/09 -- Added "Temple of the Leaf" to the Members Gallery this morning.

03/24/09 -- After reading the feedback my Members gave regarding "Desert Dawn" (and looking at their ratings), I've come to the conclusion that my original version belongs in the gallery. The first version I posted will remain available in my Pickle Jar.

03/16/09 -- Added "Desert Dawn" to the Members Gallery this morning. There are actually two versions available to Members, and you can see the alternate here.

Also, it looks like Zazzle is offering 50% off all poster prints. If you've been waiting to purchase one now might be the right time. Just enter the code "ZAZZLEPOSTER" at checkout to apply the discount.

03/08/09 -- Added "Lone Tree" to the free gallery this morning and moved "Arctica" back to the Members Gallery.

In other news, I've set up an account on Twitter (why not) so if you are into that sort of thing you can check out my feed here. Among other things, I imagine it will be a good way for me to post updates on works in progress. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see what I've been posting so far.

Lastly, I am looking to sell one of my workstation video cards. If you are interested you can read more about that here.

02/24/09 -- Added "Phraxis", a new planetscape, to the Members Gallery this morning.

02/13/09 -- I've added over 200 360 x 480, 480 x 360 and 640 x 480 images, formatted specifically for the BlackBerry Storm, Curve, and T-Mobile G1 models, to the Members Gallery this morning. To date I have images available for the iPhone, G1, PSP, BlackBerry Bold/Storm/Curve, Palm Treo 650, Zune, and three other resolutions to cover various other handhelds.

02/01/09 -- Still recovering from my surgery of a few weeks ago, but I've have been able to get back in the saddle and render a new wallpaper. It's called "Harbinger (2009)" and it is a reworking of a wallpaper I did back in 2001. The hi-res version is available in the Members Gallery and you can preview it here.

It feels good to be posting wallpapers again!

01/26/09 -- A couple of items to report today. First, I've added "The Astronomer" to the Free Gallery this morning and removed "Biodome Sunset" to the Members Gallery. I hope you enjoy it.

The second item is of a personal nature. You may have noticed that I haven't been producing very much new work in the past month or so. The reason for this is due to some health problems that I had been having which culminated in an emergency abdominal surgery around three weeks ago.

I ended up spending nearly two weeks in the hospital and I've only now felt well enough to "man the helm" here at DB again. My doctors tell me that the surgery was a complete success and I shouldn't have any more trouble once I am fully recovered.

It's been a very painful and trying January for me but I am well on my way to recovery now and a very important part of that recovery (for me at least) means creating new artwork. I can guarantee you I had a lot of cool ideas pop into my head while on my steady diet of painkillers. Look for some new additions to the Members Gallery very soon!
