That's an early Christmas/holiday gift! Thank you!

I am curious how to link an expired membership to a renewed one. Trying to renew as my original username didn't seem to give me any option for the lower price, and I wanted to change the usernmae anyways. In the end I ended up paying the full new member price of $25. There's no real instructions on what to do to if you're re-upping an expired membership, or if it's possible to change account name. At the time, you were in the midst of another bad spell, so I didn't have any desire to be a pest, nor do I mind paying a little extra. I appreciate all the wonderful work and another $10 won't strap me.



But for others, especially say college students or others with budget concerns, a section in the renewal area on what to do if your membership has expired would be useful I think.



All the best to you and your family, Ryan!

Oops I put your name in the name box...noobcake here..

It was supposed to be Rob to go there.

I'm a recent sign-up, lifetime member. And this is my first post. Thumbing thru some of your older work, I realy took to your oceanscapes. Would love to see some more (Tiger Sharks/Hammerheads/Blues/the like) of your ocean scenes man. Ilove the planet scapes, and really like the seasonal. Well hell lets just say it then...love all your work and thats something coming from an old Soldier. I was directed to your work from a fellow Soldier and Friend of mine that is an aspireing writer. He told me he gets inspiration from your work and I can see how. Keep up the good work man and looking forward to seeing more of it.

Also your magic based wallpapers, which have been years since your last one (dragons, wizards, etc) were always great! Would love to see a return of an occasional one of that type!

I'm already a lifetime member, so no financial carrot here, but count me as another fan of the abstracts. I know the membership at large seems inclined to rate them lower, but I tend to find them interesting on the whole than the realistic pieces.



Not asking you to do bunches of abstracts, Ryan ... just keep throwing us abstract fans a bone now and then please. ;^)

I've been a member for a number of years, but can't justify the lifetime member fee to the little woman. The lower rate just makes it easier for me to justify the yearly membership, so thanks!

I'm in agreement with Michael. Would love to see more abstracts (and planetscapes). They may not be as popular and as awe inspiring as your landscape art, but at least for me, they make better desktop wallpaper. This is, after all, what DB is about. Photo-realistic artwork is incredible and the amount of work they must take truly humbling, yet to me, "digital blasphemy" is the creation of the unreal and fantastical.



Of course, as the saying goes, you can't please everyone all of the time!



I'm a lifetime member, so I'm certainly not going anywhere, and no matter what you produce, I will always remain in awe.

I have really enjoyed my subscription, but I enjoy your abstracts the most and you don't do many abstracts anymore. I love your art, it has been on my desktop since Flourescense[9]. Cerulean is my new background. There just haven't been many abstracts or planetscapes lately, and that is what brought me to DB in the first place. I still have some time left on my current subscription, I hope to see more abstracts before it expires.
