"Starbirth" Multi-Monitor Added to Members Gallery

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:49:00 GMT

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.

"Starbirth (2008)" Added to Members Gallery

Added "Starbirth (2008)" to the Members Gallery this morning.

"Moonshadow" Added to Members Gallery

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 15:49:00 GMT

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!

DB on Facebook

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:45:00 GMT

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!

NAR Lifestyle Award

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 01:45:00 GMT

Last year I was approached by a 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 still pretty proud of it and wanted to let you all know.

"Crucible" Added to Free Gallery

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 23:16:00 GMT

Added "Crucible" to the free gallery this morning replacing "Vigil".

"Lone Tree" Added to Members Gallery

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:49:00 GMT

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.

"Axiomatic" Added to Members Gallery

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 18:11:00 GMT

Added a new abstract, "Axiomatic", to the Members Gallery this morning. This one (and "Colorwheel" for that matter) continues a theme, Mandalas, that I have had a lot of fun with over the years. Something about them just fascinates me for some reason..

"The Promise of Spring" Added to Members Gallery

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:36:00 GMT

Added "The Promise of Spring" to the Members Gallery this evening.

This image, due to some complicated effects (soft shadows, volumetrics, radiosity, and sub-surface scattering) holds the record for the longest render I have ever done. Perhaps it is time to upgrade my machine again...

"Cloud Canyon" Added to Free Gallery

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:16:00 GMT

Added "Cloud Canyon" to the free gallery this morning replacing "Archipelago".

"Maya" Added to Members Gallery

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:36:00 GMT

Added "Maya", to the Members Gallery this evening.

"Colorwheel" Added to Members Gallery

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:36:00 GMT

Added my first wallpaper of 2008, "Colorwheel", to the Members Gallery this evening. I noticed that I didn't do many abstract images in 2007 so I wanted to start off this year with one. Enjoy!
