I've visited this site for years and have always admired the work here. I'm pursuing a career in 3-D animation an have always found Ryan's work to inspire me in more ways than one.
I should have become a member a long time ago. Despite being an extremely impulsive person I managed to put off becoming a member for years. Then tonight I asked myself, "what's 25 bucks?" It costs more than that to go to the movies with my fiancee twice a month.
$25 for a year's worth of entertainment is well worth it for anyone who uses there computer even infrequently (though who doesn't see their monitor at least daily these days?)
This is one impulse buy I'm pleased I finally made.
P.S. To all you fence sitters: Seriously just think of all the stupid little things you spend $25 on in just a month's time. Nothing will bring you this much enjoyment for $2.08/month. Just do it... |

I have always loved your wallpaper on my systems and laptops, and last night I had a totally new appreciation experience.
Our oldest had gifted us with a 42" flat panel tele and a media center PC, and my youngest delights herself in taking many (sometiems embarrasing) photos of friends, family, dog poo, etc. and placing them into the slide show feature of media center.
Last night I decided enough was enough and cleaned all that stuff out, and thought it would be nice to see your wallpapers on my new big screen. I downloaded the last three years of images, in the larger HDTV format, setup a slide show and...
...sat mesmerized for the next 54 minutes as I saw your artwork in all new detail and in all of it's breathlessness. It is truly a different experience to get up close and have to move my head around to see the whole image.
just.. wow. You have amazing skills with the software you use, but your visions... those are a true gifting.
Thank you for sharing your giftings. Truly inspiring. |

You're a real inspiration to anyone playing around with Vue and the likes.
I admire your skills and hope you'll be able to continue your artistic work for a long, long time besides Crohn's Disease.
I'd like to encourage anyone who enjoyed your pics for free to get a membership, I've never gotten more 'bang for the buck' than here.
Thank you Ryan, you deserve all the support and money the net can give. |

Ryan,
I just wanted to thank you for making things of great beauty. After just dabbling with your free images for a while I finally became a life time subscriber. I can't tell you how many people comment on the beauty of the wall papers on my computer monitor. I tell them all about DigitalBlasphemy.
So, thank you for using your creative talents to make things of great beautyf.

Ryan's art work is some of the best I've seen. His work is astounding and as far as I know there is no comparison. His imagery evokes powerful emotion and feeling, almost as if the art has a life of its own.
I will continue to renew, and probably eventually get a lifetime membership.
Well worth the investment! Keep up the great work! I will recommend your work to all my friends. |

I work for the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory as their chief designer. I'm responsible for a great many graphically-driven publications, web designs, etc. and have 3D artists at my disposal. By far, your work is some of the best I've seen. My coworkers and friends always ogle over my desktop. The 3D artists here are quietly envious of you work as well. I'll continue to enjoy looking for your next masterpiece. |

I love Digital Blasphemy it is an amazing site. I have been a member since I believe 1999. I started out paying year by year but last year I bought the lifetime membership. This is the ONLY site I get my desktop art from. I no longer use any other site. I also use the art for my cell phone and other mobile devices. I show this site to all my friends, I have it on my facebook, the art is wonderful.
Ryan just keeps turning out one great piece after another.

April 13, 2009

I guess I have been a fan of Ryan’s work ever since a friend of mine showed the render of “Frio” back in 99. I didn’t know who had made it, I asked my friend but he didn’t know either. I guess back then Ryan didn’t watermark his creations with the digitalblasphemy.com logo.
Anyways that particular wallpaper remained on my desktop for about 2 years, I think (I honestly can’t remember how long it was), until another friend gave me a disk with some programs he thought might interest me, he had also burnt on the disk several wallpapers, the two that I particularly remember by name were “Red Sky at Night” and “Adrift”.
The first time I saw them, I thought that those were the most beautiful 3D renderings I had ever seen, thankfully these did have Ryan’s signature watermark. So I went straight to the website and started browsing through the galleries. I a little bummed when I found out that you had to pay to be granted full access (I was only in high school back then and didn’t have a job) but I was happy none the less with the free gallery. So every month there after I waited patiently for new material to be available on the free site.
Years passed I moved to the States and went to college (oh yeah, guess I forgot to mention I am from Costa Rica), and still, every computer I ever owned had one of Ryan’s creations as a wallpaper. It was at this time I started delving into the world of computer-generated imagery in my free time, and I’m sure I’m not the first and probably won’t be the last to tell Ryan that he was the one that really inspired me to create my own 3D renditions. I finally graduated and found a job in IT with a small company and I have been there ever since.
I just recently got a new workstation with a 2 monitor display setup. I searched everywhere for decent multi-display wallpapers but couldn’t find anything worth much, so I finally decided to become a member and boy am I kicking myself in the butt right now for not joining earlier. The free site is really just the tip of the iceberg, there is so much more available for subscribers.
Anyways I know that I have probably gone overboard with this testimonial, just one last word for those of you that were like me, if you are still browsing the free gallery don’t hesitate to join the fee that you pay is well worth what you get, besides that, you will be supporting a truly great artist.
Thanks Ryan, you have done so much for me than just making my cluttered desktop look like a work of art.

Everyone is commenting on the quality of Ryan's work, to which I say "Ditto!" -- it is amazing. But this morning I confirmed the quality of his attitude and service as well. I e-mailed the Support address about a minor glitch I experienced on the Member's site, expecting to get a reply Monday morning at the earliest. Within 15 minutes, Ryan had replied with my answer. He had taken time out from Saturday morning activities with his kids (which, when my kids were young, was a sacred time) to cheerfully get me the information I needed. Thanks again, Ryan! |

Are you a humongantic fan of the free images? I was, until I got a membership. These images are 10/10 and most are much, much better than the free images, especially the new ones! I hope you realize that Ryan (Mr. Digital Blasphemy) makes a living out of these pictures, so they MUST be good! |

It is truly a pleasure to be in the company of such exceptional creativity. I am both humbled and inspired by the beauty before me, and i can only wait to be further impressed by all of the future installments. This site has provided me with continuing motivation over the years, especially through my own depressive artistic periods. My work is consistently done in pen-and-ink, marker and airbrush, and the level of detail that these images provides has driven me to refine and sharpen my abilities. Not that I seek competition with digital art, but it drives me to excel nonetheless. My thanks and congratulations. Please keep up the magic!! |

Hello All -
My husband found this site several years back, I want to say almost at its inception and we have come to love it very much. We became members several years ago because we didn't want to be left out of anything that was being done here.
In fact, and here's where my question comes in. I fell in love with the "Thetis moon" one that's at night rising over the beach. That's the one that really took me in. It reminded me of the very end of a New Zealand movie that came out in 1985 called "The Quiet Earth". I was wondering if you had ever seen either the movie or that last scene (http://www.nzvideos.org/quietCD.JPG)? And was that what the picture was based on?
Peace, Leticia E. |

I've been impressed with Ryan's wallpapers for quite some time now, and eventually decided to subscribe. I must say, it was well worth it!

You'll find many impressive images in the member's gallery, and several truly exceptional ones. Recommended! |

I found out about this site from Youtube , checked out some of the pictures and completly fell in love with it .
I found out that i could not buy anything else than a 99$ lifetime membership and it was well worth it . There are so many pictures and its so nice , only thing is that is really hard to decide on which one to use as a wallpaper since there are so many great ones !
I later found out you could find the collection on torrent sites but i really think its a worthy cause to support a great artist like Ryan .
I would really recommend everybody to purchase a membership

I came across this website one day back in 1999. There were so many other sites that offered backgrounds but none like this. At first glance these backgrounds look like photographs and many of my friends think that they are initially. When I tell them that they are computer generated they are stunned at how beautifully created and realistic they look. The site is never dull and new backgrounds are added on a regular basis. Ryan takes advice from his members and tries to work their suggestions into his work. For me, this was love at first sight. Since that fateful day in '99 I have never gone anywhere else for my backgrounds. |

I've been an admirer of this site for a few years, visiting every now and then and adding a new desktop from the free gallery. After so long, I thought it was about time I did the right thing and subscribed.
I'm an enthusiastic photographer, and one of the things that always strikes me about the works on this site is the strength of their composition. It's marvellous. That, and the small features of interest - like a small figure in the foreground - that go towards making the work so incredible.
If I could create works like this, than I would call myself an artist. For all of us, please, keep creating!

My year subscription is coming to an end within the week, considering renewing. Your work has always been incredible to my eyes Ryan! Anyways, I want to give a special thanks for including the 1440x900 res into your work! That's the only res that works well in my desktop and I've been hoping you'd put that in soon! Now I don't have to worry about excluding parts of the wallpaper when I use them. Maybe I should have commented earlier? |

Hi,
I just wanted to say what an awesome impact DB's backgrounds have made to my member's webportal screens!
They give my webportal such a great aesthetic appeal that just wasn't there with my other images.
I have replaced all the old ones with DB backgrounds. If you want to see how they've helped my website business, go to www.homepagehome.com.au
Thanks again Ryan! Keep up the fantastic artwork!!
Ps. My 6yr old son would love you to create a background image of a killer whale jumping out of the water.

I first found the site in my first year of teaching, almost ten yuears ago. I was given a notebook by my school and the installed wallpapers were unimpressive. I started with the free gallery and cycled through a new paper each day. Last year I jumped straight to the lifetime membership and the kids in my class love to see what I have on my desktop when they get in each morning. They are still amazed by the range of wallpapers. We have a sea theme at school at the moment and some of the work they are coming up with has been inspired by what they have seen on my computer. They best subscrition I have ever signed up for. |

As a silent and anonymous fan of Ryan Bliss for the past 11 years, I feel I owe him some comments!
Ryan was literally the primary reason I took up 3d modeling and rendering as a hobby. His artwork has inspired me in such a way since then that I continue the futile goal of attempting to match it. He has stayed on the cutting edge of artistic tools while still finding time to strike such inspiring balances in his peices. As a user of many of the same tools (Vue, Bryce, Poser, Lightwave/Maya, etc...) his work never fails to impress me. Some peices I can't help but to analyze the HOW, never to really know.
Thank you Ryan for providing cutting edge art that makes everyone that comes by my cubicle at work or to my home, awe at my (well... technically your) backgrounds. Thank you even more for the inspiration that has lasted the test of time and continues to drive me into exploring my own artistry as feeble as it may be in comparison.
Cheers,
Josh Miller |

I have long ago started getting the free wallpapers from here along with a few other sites. I have watched as the wallpapers here have gotten better and better; the other sites have remained about the same quality. Another big plus is that I run a dual-screen setup and there were VERY few sites that supplied good wallpapers that I could use. Digitalblasphemy.com not only has a huge selection for dual-screens but also triple-screens. Just today I have finally signed up for a membership... no need to start small, $99 granted me as many wallpapers as I could use FOR LIFE. I will literaly get the rest of my wallpapers from here. Thank you Ryan for making my desktop a thing to be proud of. |

I am a returning member after a long hiatus due to life issues. I have always loved Ryan's work on my desktop. It is not only stunning for somebody walking by, but I like to choose one that is meditative as I work on on a PC every day. Can't wait to try some on my HDTV. I did stop by now and then for the freebies, but knowing what's 'behind the curtain' I knew I'd become a member again. Thanks Ryan, it's good to be back and very good that you are still here creating beautiful work. |

August 26, 2008

I've been in awe of the free gallery since the site went up, even inspired me to use digital art as my AP Art Portfolio back in 2002 in HS, and I got a copy of Bryce and Lightwave to experiment on.
I bought a lifetime membership last year, and I was literally knocked out of my computer chair once I saw all the renders and even the pickle jars.
My only qualm with the site is there's a trend of less new renders, but then again the quality has pretty much quadrupled since 2002, so I can only imagine how long it would take to finish one. Perhaps once more people become members Ryan can get more machines to do more work at once?
In conclusion, I will most likely re-new my lifetime subscription when it expires in another 98 years, I can only imagine what type of render's we will have by then. |

For many years since first finding this web site i bought 2 cds and made the plunge to become a life time member, everybody comments at work about the pictures as backgrounds on the laptop even some of them signed up to yearly members.
You might get other pictures on the net but you realy see the time and work put into all the images you see here so its worth paying for this art work and also some of the art work reminds me of my trips to Fiji,Thailand and Japan which was a dream vacation sometimes seeing some of the images i wish i was back there instead of being stick in a office at work. |

| "The Only Wallpaper Website You'll Ever Need" |
July 31, 2008

Sure, there are hundreds of thousands of wallpaper websites that you could visit. Yes, some of those sites have some stunning wallpapers. A few will even let you download some high-res 'papers for free, or at least for a small fee. But the breakdown is this: 99% of those websites are company/corporation owned, exploit many budding artists (or exploit artists that should have been established, but have been kept in some company's pocket), and charge you money for nothing more than glorified eye candy.
Digital Blasphemy is owned by one man, Ryan Bliss. Ryan is the one who produces every wallpaper offered on the site, excepting the images showcased in the User Gallery which helps raise awareness of other artists' work. His full-time job is to make awe-inspiring and fantastic images to grace our otherwise boring computer screens. This is what he does for a living, but that's not the main reason to think about a membership. When you visit wallpaper websites, you're going to a website with pretty pictures. When you come to Digital Blasphemy, you've come into an art gallery.
Ryan doesn't make wallpapers. He makes art.
So, support an artist; it's worth it! |

What an amazing visual experience you've given all of us who enjoy your art. Stating the obvious, you have exceptional talent and paying $25 per year is one of the best bargains on the net. Anyone who is not a member is missing out on more than they know.
I do software support in the creative services field and always get comments from the designers on my laptop's screens. Of course I steer them to your site but not until I'm through working with them. Otherwise, they would pay me no attention at all.
Keep up the excellent work... |

I'd been browsing the free gallery since 2000 and it was always on my plans to be a member sometime, I was trying to get a lifetime membership but couldn't because of my economic situation(80 bucks a week doesn't cut it). A month ago I was able to get a debit card and then tried to get the 99 bucks for the lifetime membership, I couldn't get the money but got the 25 bucks for the yearly one... I'm speechless, this is worth every cent I spent on my membership. I will certainly try to get the lifetime membership next year. This is like a literal dream come true. Thanks to the artist of this site, this is an awesome experience for me. |

I have been looking for wallpapers for my tri-monitor setup (4850x1200) for ages, now I am not going to say there aren't any other webpages out there, but they are with far lesser quality backgrounds, and none come close to this.
The price is very fair even if you only like 10 out of the many many pictures here.
The format of the page is fantastic, where they give you almost every option and resolution you could hope for.
All I can say is go ahead and take the plunge and even if it is for the 90 days membership, you will not be disappointed. They come out with new ones fairly quickly. |

I absolutely love Ryan's landscapes. Whenever I feel overwhelmed I just clear my desktop and let my mind wander in the beauty. This has saved my sanity so many times. Also good when I need extra creativity.
People always comment on my desktop background, and I'm proud to point them to DB. I also have several prints hung around the house, and everyone mistakes the prints for photographs.
Lifetime member since.... um.... 2001? Yeah, I think it was 2001. Totally worth it. |

Dear Ryan,
Once again I had the pleasure of visiting Digital Blasphemy and once again I stand in awe. I am old in this world but new in the cyber universe and have traveled many miles in both. It brings me great joy to experience genius in my travels. Thank you for making your art available and bringing joy to an old sojouner. I enjoy your art every day as I continue my journey.
Thanks again,
Gary(Gizmo)

At first the idea of what I thought was going to be another pay for pics site was not real appealing. I got the 90 day membership first to try it out and was stunned. The work on this site is amazing and when the 90 days are up my next step will definetly be a lifetime membership.
Thank you for all this amazing work and I hope more people continue to join and support what may be the best artist on the internet for years to come. |

Believe me, I do not use the word 'awesome' very often, but there is no better way to sum up this website.
Every single drop of effort has been squeezed from Ryan and his family in providing us with unique desktop glamour.
Are there any cons do I hear you ask? Well, the older the wallpaper, the less eye-catching it ussually is. The reason? Ryan has become more SKILLED at his work as time has gone on.
The free gallery is but a microscopic taster! |

Everytime I sign into this website, and see a new background, I am left breathless and dumbstruck. The mere amazement that these arn't real photographs is stunning enough with how real they look, but knowing that one person made this simply blows my mind! Lastly, knowing I get to take this picture to place on my computer and make all my friends jealous makes three out of the hundreds of awesome reasons why I love db!! |

I had been using the free gallery for about 2 years then three days ago decided to buy the 90 day subscription. Amazing! Your pictures transport me to a different world. And the dreamscenes, they look and work wonderfully on my widescreen monitor. Keep up the good work!
P.S. How do you come up with the great titles for your artwork? "Of all places" man, such a great title! |

Since I joined DB in April I have downloaded the latest zip file to my home computer.
Using my IMAC linked through a HDMI connection to my Sharp Aquos LCD HD TV, I cycle these wonderful pictures through my screen saver. Put on some nice internet radio, have the small waterscape running and sip some wine. Perfect.
My wife and I thank you Ryan. Keep up the good work! |

Hello, I have been coming to your site for MANY years. I always looked at the free gallery and top tens when they were free. I never really felt the need to join up until i got a dual monitor set up at a high resolution. Today i was looking around the web for images that were 3840x1200 and couldn't find ANYTHING even close to the quality of the images here.
So after years of lurking as an observer I have joined up and its one of the best purchases I have made online.
Thanks for the great stuff!

You will not find any walpaper that even comes close to what you can find on DB. I discovered DB in college and ever since it's the only wallpaper I'll use, at home and espcially at work. Now matter how I'm feeling at work (Property Claims Adjuster) I can look at Ryan's wallpapers and be transported to somewhere else. I purchased a one year membership and when it came time to renew I knew I wouldn't find a better deal or better product so I purchased a lifetime membership.
Thanks for all the great work! Please don't ever stop. -JS |

Ryan, your work, and others, have been a staple of my desktop(s) for several years. I'm glad I finally became a member and gave you some $. You deserve it and much more for your efforts at creating beautiful images for us to enjoy.
The images I use at work always cause people to stop and ask "where is that?". Folks are astounded at the richness of detail and graphic quality of the images on DB.
Thanks kindly. |

I could not believe these wallpapers the first time I saw them. They looked so life-like that it confused even my co-workers. You will not find better wallpapers than this and that offer it for the many screen sizes and monitors you have. These are the only wallpapers I will use on my computers. :) |

Been a long time leecher, and, i admit, looking for ths artwork is less then legal ways. But i've always believed that if, and when, you like something, you should buy it. I've also been a strong believer of "try before you buy." The free gallaries here are great for that reason. But when I finally had the money to spare, I went ahead and got a year membership. It's only been a week or two.. but I think, already, I have made the a great buy. Normally one would just hit up DA, or the assorted artist sites to get quality walls. But it's always great to support artists. Keep your ear dude. ;)
But i've always wanted to support Digital Blasphemy, so here I am. Great job, dude. :-) |

I discovered Ryan and his amazing work almost from the beginning. Fortress was the first image that I saw of his and I had to go look at the rest of his site after that. I don't think that very many days have gone by since then without a DB background on my computers. I finally subscribed about four years ago as I wanted access to the newer images, not just the ones for free. I have never regreted that decision and I never even consider not renewing every year. You need to do this for your mental well-being. Many times when things get hectic, I just imagine that I am where ever the background is that I have at the time and things get back on a more even keel.
Thanks Ryan !

Having been an admirer of this website for many years, I decided it was finally time to go beyond pilfering the free gallery and enjoy all that the site has to offer. To finally have access to the incredible art-work is well worth the small membership fee. The only thing I have to say is that I wish I would have done this a lot sooner!! |

I first heard of Digital Blasphemy back in 2001 from my brother who had been using the free wallpapers. I really liked Ryan's artwork and I too started using his free images on my home desktop and at any computer I used. Then in 2002 I purchased a membership and have been a member ever since! The members wallpapers are worth every penny spent year after year for my personal enjoyment at my home and work computers. The quality of artwork created is just 'the' best out there on the internet, hands down. Plus the variety also keeps it interesting, he makes such a wide span of art from landscapes day and night, to outerspace themes to abstract art which tickles your mind and imagination. It's always enjoyable! I've been renewing annually and my membership was just up this week and I decided to renew for 2 years! (new option) It was a no-brainer! I always give Ryan a little extra bonus as a token of my appreciation for his talents. It's not much but I know he deserves it. |

Over the years I have gotten your permission to use your work at our schools. I have kept in touch on an annual basis. I just wanted to say that your latest projects are exceptional. Your creativity with the story behind the project is just as inspiring as the work itself. You set the standard for others in your field to follow. Keep raising the bar. Awesome --just awesome. Quality brings quantity. You deserve it. Great Job. |

A friend of mine turned me onto this site back in 2000 with the famous glowing blue mushrooms, and then we used the free wallpapers for years. 2 years ago my wife bought a membership for $25 and I was kind of mad at first because things are always very tight but it's ended up being well worth it and we renewed for the 2008 year.
I also like the idea that this contributes to someone being able to do what they love to do which is a rare thing.
We have to find better wallpapers. keep up the good work DB guy! |

I have been using the free wallpapers available on this site for some time now. It seems that every time I go looking for something nice I end up going to this site first. So I figured it is about time I buy a membership and pay for what I get enjoyment out of and to "of course" gain access to the entire site. What really sold me is the reasonable fee of $25.00 dollars to join and then only $15.00 per year to renew.I should have done this years ago. All I ask for from a product I purchase is to perform as advertised. This site does that and does it very well.
Sincerely
Gary |

I signed for Ryan's artwork almost a year ago now, and it was worth every penny.
As I have watched the new pieces of work become available over the past year, I can honestly say that over the short time Ive been a member I have seen the quality of the work continually improve over time.
This is not to say that all of the older artwork on the site is of poor quality, becuase as I look at past works I am still very impressed; however, with the advances in technology in the past decade or so, the new levels of depth that can be added (and have) are spectacular. |

| "DB fills a void" |
March 13, 2008

Polished, classy, finished products are a lost art form in the Internet era, but DB brings that touch of class back. DB has the only wallpapers I'm not ashamed to have on my desktop; instead everyone is always in awe of the artwork. Nothing is cheesy or cartoonish; all are worth framing.
The membership is well worth it. I downloaded a bunch of backgrounds and turned them into a screensaver -- using Windows' photos screensaver -- because I couldn't settle on one.
I know just enough about software to be in total awe of what Ryan can do with a computer. I'm sure you might think, "I could do that if I had thousands of dollars in software and a powerful computer." No you couldn't. It takes a lot of skill and effort to create these images.
Support this website if you think these images fill a void no other site does. |

It must have been back in the late 90's that I was working at a company and saw an amazing wallpaper (Gotham) on one person's PC and the words Digital Blasphemy in the corner. I immediately went and looked up the website and have been a fan ever since.
In a world full of woes, these images take you somewhere far away and give you a moment to escape.
Thankyou for that. |

The work on this site is simply breathtaking, I've been a fan for almost a decade now, and I can see myself 'testimonialing' ten twenty thirty years down the road (if I live that long) because Ryan's taste in digital art is, allow me mate, purely Blissful. |

I have been a member for several years now and I don't regret it one bit! There are two main benefits: 1) You get more wallpapers to download and 2) Even on the free site, you can download higher resolution wallpapers.
Yes, you can get a lot of wallpapers for free, but it's only $25 for the first year and you get a discounted renewal. I, for one, think it's well-worth it to be a member.
Also, you don't have to worry about annoying pop-up ads like you see on other wallpaper sites, so come on, help the artist make a living! |

..gallery is pretty cool you should take a look at the members gallery. I have only been a member for about a week and already I think my year membership was worth the price.
My personal favorites are the landscapes and images with fog/clouds as well as diffused light coming through trees. There are plenty of what I most like, as well as many images of planets and tropical scenes. There are also some that fit in the more mystical/spiritual variety as well as plain old abstract.
Anyway, if you like the work in the free gallery you won't be sorry be coming a member as the images inside are even more vivid and exceptional. |

Ever since I got desktop backgrounds from him this site when they were free until now paid for a lifetime membership. I have been amazed at his work. Every background belongs in a museum in a gallery. Many hours are spent on them im sure and lots of effort as well. Running a triple monitor setup at 3840x1024, wallpapers are hard to come by searching randomly on google and deviant art. I love the support digitalblasphemy gives me. Thank you for all these years you have been creating these beautiful wallpapers. Keep up the good work. |

Ryan,
If this post is inappropriate, please delete it. I just feel this will support everyone who loves your art even more!
I have Dual Widescreens, and can never decide on which picture I am in the mood for. So I came up with a solution! There is a program out there called DisplayFusion. (Google it!) It allows wallpapers to span multiple monitors in Windows. The pay version also allows backgrounds to change on a timer! So every 30 mins... I get a one of my wallpapers that I have saved from DigitalBlasphemy. This is awesome and allows us to support another small software developer with software that works Perfectly with DigitalBlasphemy!
Enjoy!!! |

Hi,
I keep coming back to buy a yearly membership. I love all your wallpapers & use them almost exclusively on my computers. Many times I have had them on the desktop at work or at home and someone has asked me about one . I always shamelessly promote your site to anyone who cares. More than one occasion I had to clarify that the image was not of a "real place" but of a "place" that you created. Keep up the awesome job!

I have been downloading Ryan's wallpapers for years and as soon as he went professional, I bought a membership. I have now after several years upgraded to a lifetime membership as I believe the images that Ryan creates are masterful and original and beautiful. There is always an original image of any number of types - indoors, outdoors, structures, planets, abstracts to keep every discerning person interested.
I can heartily recommend this site and the small amount to pay to be a member is pittance compared to the value you receive from Ryan's work.
Cheers

I've been using wallpapers from the free section of Digital Blasphemy for years. After becoming a member I've realized that the free section was just the tip of the iceburg. The prices are very fair and you never have to worry if the wallpaper will fit your screen because there are different resolution options as well as wide, dual, and even tri-screen downloads. And I've never found more beautiful and detailed wallpapers than I have at digitalblasphemy.com |

Since I discovered your awesome site. I couldn't count how many others I have introduced to your wonderful art.
Of course I had to buy a lifetime membership. Very reasonable price and I do upload and host all the ones I save on another site so I and others can link to it. That was a rule I obeyed always and always give credit to the creator.
Keep up the great work.
Looking forward to see what you have in 2008. |

I was introduced to this site by a friend. Like so many others, I used the free site for a while then I bought a lifetime membership (do the math) so I could access all of the files. This is one of the most creative sites around, I don't get malware or pop-ups and I don't get spammed. What more could you want? |

I was shown this website by a computer lab attendant back in 2000. Almost 8 years later...I now have had a membership for 2 years..and Wow. There are SOOO many images and they all are top quality. For a while, I just went through all the old images and changed my desktop background every 2 days. Now, DB decorates all of my desktops, both of my servers, and my laptops...each with their own theme. Ryan...your work is amazing, and I will always be a member of this site!!! |

My brother first showed me the free gallery back in 2000. I used those images for my desktop for awhile, then got a regular membership, and then got the lifetime membership. For nearly eight years now, DB has almost exclusively decorated my desktop. The DB membership is absolutely worth it.
My favorite comment (one that motivated me to get the membership) was when a friend would see my desktop wallpaper and ask where I took the photo (typical for nature images). That was back in 2000, and the images have come a long long way since. I loved to point out that it was not a photo, but computer-rendered art, and if they liked it where they could find more.
I always eagerly await the next image, and though not every image is my favorite, I am always amazed. If a new one is not my style, there's always a previous favorite I can pull from the member gallery. But most often, the new image becomes my favored background at least until the next appears. |

You are my number one wallpapers source. The competition is fierce, and you are well on top, by a good margin. I got hooked by your "Red Sky", and come regularly for my dose of wonders.

Its a real bonus that the dollar is so poor against the pound at present as i signed u for my membership for next to nothing compared to what the images are wourt.
I have always been a 'Freeby-Fan' but have now signed up for the year and i adore the work.
We have recently purchased a nice 42" Samsung flat screen TV which is mounted on the wall. With the Living room PC we have just brought the images on a cycle as a screensaver when people are round have drawn so many comments its untrue.
I hope your feeling better soon!

I've been hard pressed to find someone that doesn't like AT LEAST 15 db renders. The free backgrounds are just teasers compared to everything in the Member's Gallery. Whether you're male or female doesn't matter.
Talent like this, this cheap, this usable, this unforgettable, simply can't be found anywhere else on the net. The best part is that there's something for everybody--every day of the week, every mood, every color scheme, practically every situation.
What are you waiting for? If you don't buy at least a three month membership you'll never know what you missed! |

Have you thought of a Holiday section so that users could go straight to that link to look for the holdiay wallpaper of the season...you have many great ones but they are hard to find.
Keep up the super work and I will keep bragging about your site!!!

It's hard to believe but nine years have past since one of your works of art made it to my desktop.
Ever since digitalblasphemy has remained an ever changing yet constant presence in my life.
I can't help but smile when I discover them in every backup disk, bringing back memories of times past, but not lost.
Every love gone cold, every shore left behind, every twist and every turn has one of these images set as a recall stone.
As long as they exist, the disintegration of the persistence of memory may be averted. |

October 19, 2007

I have worked as a Creative Director at a multinational advertising agency for almost 8 years now, and God only knows how many digital libraries and art related websites I have visited during my career in search of ideas & inspiration. Digital Blasphemy has always been my favorite by far.
I personally consider and always referred to "Ryan Bliss" as a world class digital artist, and one of the best if not the best on the web today. I have been a loyal admirer of his work from the start back in 1997, and have been sharing his journey of imagination throughout the last few years, a journey that has been nothing less than inspirational and fulfilling.
His lucid imagination, deep knowledge of graphic applications, and sharp eye for details are some of his trademarks, and I am deeply touched by his perseverance and consistency in keeping up with the times and delivering on his promise of excellence.
You cannot put a $ value to his art. The 99$ I have invested back then are worth far more than that today. Sometimes I feel guilty of getting much more than I bargained for, but am very confident that for Ryan this is not about the money as much as it is about his work. Art is an emotional journey, and should always be looked upon as such.
Thank you Ryan for giving me these few precious moments of joy and imagination, thank you for taking me places I know I will never see !!!

If there is one thing i can say about this site and its owner, is that through the years i have followed this site (before it was even at this address and had membership options) one thing i have consistently noticed, is the very high quality, and ingenuity i see in every one of Ryan's creations.
I haven't seen one thing he has made that wasn't "Ad-least" worthy of being on my system, and the vast majority of the time i can and will say you wont find any better quality backgrounds "or Artwork for that matter" anyplace on the internet.
I myself am a lifetime member and proud to have helped keep this site and its creator going and look forward every week to seeing what new artwork will be released next.
Because to me, the 99$ lifetime membership fee is worth it's weight in gold, considering to get this kind of quality otherwise could set you back allot more in the artistic circles. |

I have to tell you, the artwork you do is simply awe inspiring. I have never "ever" been tempted to pay for any form of wallpaper. I downloaded a your free images and have been enjoying them for several months. I found myself wanting to see what else you had come up with in that boundless imagination that exists between your ears. Your images are simply flawless, breathtaking and seem to have the ability to transport a viewer to a destination or another time. I absolutely do not regret my membership fee. It is a bargain for what I received. |

Between Haiku, Indian Summer and some of the other more recent works, I don't know how Ryan will make the future works better, but I'm sure he'll do it and every single wallpaper that he makes will be on my desktop at least for a day! |

Some sites you will join and pay a fee only to notice the only things changing are the comments others are making about the various items on the site... The content of the site never changes...
On this site, not only does the content change, the work improves... In addition, you contribute to what is done on the site by your ratings and comments (better known as feedback)...
This is one location that I feel I have gotten great value from the membership fees... Just wish I had a dual monitor to view some of the work done specifically for those monitors... |

I just picked up a new 24" iMac a couple of weeks and was looking for some nice wallpaper to show off the screen.
I'd heard of Digital Blasphemy before and was a regular consumer of the free galleries.
I decided to buy a membership so I could get the widescreen wallpapers for my machine and I gotta say the membership is worth it.
Ryan is a talented individual and his wallpapers are off the hook. As a musician myself, I know what it is to make your livelihood in the arts. It's a tough road sometimes and it can also be rewarding to see your own creations take on a life of their own.
Throw your support behind Ryan and become a member, you won't regret it. |

After 6 years of using DB images on every computer I ever worked on, I got a year membership. Now, with DB wallpapers on the computers of every family member and roommate, the influence is spreading. My father, a particle physicist, was amused and delighted by science-looking accelerators and glowing cores, while my roommates have been more impressed by organic abstracts or spacescapes. The guys I play D&D with enjoy the summonings and castings, since they illustrate in glowing images what we have only words to describe. A few more nudges, and maybe I can get more members to join and have fun finding their own images.
Generally, as a poor college student, I like free stuff, but as a poor art student, I understand the idea of paying someone for good work so they can continue to produce it. And this is well worth the small expense. If you are considering getting a membership, do it. Ryan's work is worth every penny. |

I have been a fan of Ryan's work for many years, and have been a member for three years or so now. I pretty much exclusively use Digital Blasphemy artwork for my desktop backgrounds. Short of creating my own pictures, alot of what's out there is too commercial or boring, and photographs just don't let you take full advantage of the graphical and creative power of the PC. I consider this site a great bargain for the value. |

When I first heard of DB, I thought it was ridiculous to pay for wallpapers online. But when I visited the site and had downloaded all the freebies and found myself wanting more, I paid for a subscription.
This is my third year as a member and all I can say is that it has been money well-spent. |

The realism and the energy is truly astounding.

If you love cool wallpapers, you should join Digital Blasphemy. This site contains some of the best digital artwork I have ever seen. I have so many beautiful wallpapers now I hardly know what to put on my desktop. Every wallpaper is available in multiple resolutions and some even in dual-screen and tri-screen. The wallpapers are organized by year and category so you can find exactly what you are looking for. For only $25, you get unlimited image downloads for a whole year and there are reduced renewal rates after that. Definitely a good deal. |

I found one of your wallpapers on a school computer once and couldn't seam to get it out of my mind. As time passed I found the windows wallpapers annoying.
Memory of that one wallpaper brought me back and I got a trial membership and went nuts downloading everything!
I didn't renew my membership then and used the different ones I already had but soon they started to get old.
I upgraded to dual monitors and then the problem of what wallpaper to use started to become an issue. So I will start making some of my own thinking how hard could it be? I tried some mac style images, but they could never match the quality I found here.
About a month or so ago I renewed my membership in time for displacement and some of the other great wallpapers and all I can say is it was worth it then and it's worth it now!
I think every new wallpaper comes in Dual and Tri monitor formats which is great for me and bad... Why bad... Simple I want to start using the Tri montior wallpapers! I guess dual monitors is only the beginning....
Don't let a few buck stand in the way of some of the best wallpapers out there give it a try! One warning tho... I'm not responsable for any addictions to great wallpapers!

September 7, 2007

I have been a memeber on this site for 7 years now (8 this November). When ever I put up a new image at work EVERYONE want's a copy. Sadly, I cannot share the images I pay for. But I do recommend that those that want them, come to the site and buy a memebership.
These are simply the BEST background images on the net. And I have looked for others and no one even comes close to this kind of quality.
Sure, there are other backgrounds out there, but they are either way to "busy" to the point of distraction, or they simply lack the quality you find here. Some poeple just want to "bang out" images as fast as they can, and you can tell. Here, that is not the story. Every image reflects the time taken to get them just right.
I will continue to support this website with my membership for remainder of my years above ground! |

Because you won't find anywhere else on the net to compare DB too. I've been a member since membership began at DB, and I've never regretted it.
Don't just browse the free galleries. Contribute as a member if you can. Every artist needs patrons. When you purchase a DB membership you enable & encourage the artist to continue.

DB is the only website I have ever paid to see, and it's a site I've been a member of for going on 10 years now. I can't see any reason why I'd ever stop - the artwork gets more creative, more colorful, more fantastic and more gorgeous every year. |

I have been a member of this site now since october of 2006. I am so glad that I became a member. I was introduced to this site about 2 years ago, and now am realizing, that this is one of the only few sites that actually have dual/tri screen images, dual widescreen, and every other size you can imagine. No other site is this obsessed with quality. The images you can get in the free section do not compare to all the images that I now have access to. I will continue to support digitalblasphemy.com until it goes down. (hopefully not anytime soon.) |

The collection of backgrounds alone found on Digital Blasphemy has no comparison. The quality and diveristy of the imagery found here is worth 10X the price. I'd say there's no better value on the web and that doesn't even include the Pocket PC themes, animations, and other stuff. I've been a member for 2 years running.
Keep up the good work! |

I've been a member of this site for a number of years and have ordered 6 editions of the Digital Blasphemy CD during that time. I believe that these are some of the best images available on the web and it's been a worthwile investment to encourage the continued creation of new images. Yes, I know that there are TONS of sites available where you can download some very high quality desktop wallpapers. But I believe that Ryan's work has been consistently among the very best and his continued growth as a artist and creator has been interesting to watch. As a long-time computer user, I harken back to the days of shareware programs like PC-Write and Procomm. Quality work is worth investing in and I think I'm doing that by supporting Digital Blasphemy. |

I have been a lifetime member for some time now and the artwork is absolutely first class. Many people get a chance to see this artwork as I travel and I can't tell you how many times people have commented and I give them the web address and say to signup and help support a truly gifted artist.
So what are you waiting for, signup and support a gifted artist!
There is a wealth of material and it is well worth the lifetime membership fee - and since you are now supporting the artist's efforts - we all have more great work to enjoy! |

Those are the words I hear after a friend visits this site at my suggestion. I've been a regular here since the site was first available to the public and a member for years. Those catch words and many more are quite true... As transfer rates, PCs, and Resolutions have grown, so has this gifted artist with ever increasing size and definition and now.... animations! Not tiny little ones either, these are state of the industry fast and well, cool. (Can you imagine the time it takes to put such an animation together?)
Thanks, Guy.. I love the site and my 75 inch HD Theater Monitor loves the HDTV wallpapers for it's screensaver. |

If a Lifetime Membership is still offered, I highly suggest it. It was offered in 1999/2000 then disappeared. I saw it offered in 2006 and jumped on it.
You cannot go wrong with this site. The artist is a master of his work. If you don't buy, well, then the art I have purchased is that more rare.
Thanks DB for the sweet, sweet images.

I have to tell all that I have visted this site for years and years (at least five) and always used the free wallpapers.
Last month I sent an email to Ryan and within 30 minutes he had answered it and others, this is service way beyond what I expected. Ryan answered my question and as I had promised in my email, I purchased a membership! I guarantee that this membership will never expire as I use his work on my home & work laptops and now my iPhone.
It is the most beautiful, dedicated, moving work that I have ever seen and I change it monthly based on how I feel or the seasons or the holidays. Ryan has created something here for everyone and I can almost say it is spiritual!
I have requested 3 other wallpapers to be converted for the iPhone and I know without reservation that Ryan will come through!
Ryan...Keep up the super work and you will always have a life member! |

After using some of the free backgrounds I decided to become a member, as soon I was registered i picked out 24 background images and after half an hour of painstaking trial and error background managed to set my desktop to change image on the hour every hour with images suited to that time of day.
100% worth the effort to use these brilliant images on my desktop.

Back in the dark ages (just kidding Ryan),when Digital Blasphemy was just beginning, a friend recommended this 'really cool' website. I took a look, spent a few days perusing the free galleries and joined the membership within a week.
Wow! There is so much more to this site when you join!
It has been a pleasure to see each new piece as it comes out and to get Ryan's perspective on how it came to be. It's also great because you can leave feedback that he considers in his work.
Every time someone sees my dual screen wallpapers from Digital Blasphemy I get comments like 'where can I get that?' I love to tell them - many friends have now also become members.
I've been a member for so long I finally decided to join as a lifetime member. It has been, and continues to be, a great pleasure. |

... I've been a member for many years now and this is the best value you'll get.
For one, you get unlimited access to all of Ryan's wallpapers from his first attempts to his latest creations, his animations and screensavers, and for me the best bit is that you get an insight into how Ryan works, where his renders come from and his family which makes Ryan's work very personal... with meaning and intent. I really enjoy that we're part of that.
Keep up the inspired work Ryan!

I used to browse the free galleries of Digital Blasphemy on a weekly basis in the hopes of finding a new wallpaper. Now that I'm a member, I drop in at least once daily. I haven't once regretted becoming a member, I only regret that I can't currently afford to become a lifetime member.
Ryan puts out quality work quite regularly, and is amazing about listening to both critiques and applause. It is not at all uncommon for him to release two or three variations of the same image in order to make the masses happy.
I definitely feel like a subscription to DB is well worth the cost of admission. |

Although I became a member just recently, I have been visiting this site since 99. By far, Ryan produces new renders more frequently than any other site on the WEB. I like this site so much that it's my home page. I especially look forward to the nite scenery renders.
The pickle jar is priceless. The alternate versions of the wallpapers are sometimes better than the ones posted. Buy a membership if for nothing but the pickle jar!

My wife and I had been members a few years ago but we let it expire as we were in a very tight budget and had to cut expenses wherever we could. Now that we are both in comfortable jobs and with one car paid off (and the other 4 months away) we decided to sign up again when we found out there were some animated wallpapers now.
And with the new one month $9.95 option it makes it budget friendly for those people going through what we did those years ago =) |

I use a high-res widescreen monitor (both at home and at work) and I change my wallpaper once a week or so. At that rate I have over 3 and a third years worth of wallpapers to choose from. Each one a stunning masterpiece.
Another way to look at it: At the price of a lifetime membership, and at the current total of 175 widescreen selections, you are paying less than 57 cents per image. That is an incredibly cheap price for the time and effort (not to mention skill) that goes into each one.
Buy a Membership. You will not be disappointed.

I started going to Digital Blasphemy as a senior in High School back in 1999. Back then, I lived on the free work and was always amazed by the quality of art that Ryan created. I quickly became a full member during college, and I have never looked back.
Ryan deserves far more money for the quality of work he produces for us all... which is quite frankly, priceless in my opinion. Digital Blasphemy is the ONLY art allowed on any of my PC's (and TV for that matter!). I even have one of my favorite pieces professionally framed in our bedroom. His quality of work is the definition of art; it inspires the imagination and stimulates the mind.
Ryan's recent ventures into providing high quality art for the many new media formats, has definitely cemented him as one of the best digital artists on the web. His work is worth every penny and much, much more.

I've been with this site almost since the beginning. Ryan consistently produces high quality images time and time again. My personal favorites are the landscapes and frankly, I use nothing but Ryan's images for my backgrounds on all of my computers. Everyone that sees my landscape backgrounds assumes it is a real picture at first glance and are surprised it is generated!
There is nothing else out there that compares in quality to his landscape images. If you are considering a membership for the first time, even the lifetime membership is worth the price since you get access to every member image Ryan has ever created. It is literally hundreds (probably thousands) of quality images for your personal use.
Definitely a person/site I am pleased to support. Thanks for the inspiring/relaxing images! |

I cannot look at these images without the stirrings of imagination awakening within me. I shall be blessed if someday I create with words what Ryan Bliss can already do with his artistic talent. |

I have been a member for just over a year and at next renewal will be switching to a lifetime membership. This is by far the best wallpaper site online. Ryan's artwork and technical skills are top notch and he pays attention to what people think about it. To add even more to it, the members page is constantly updated with what's going on. Status updates on new renders, responses to comments on prior renders, and more are posted on a regular basis.
If you're considering a membership, I am telling you it's worth every penny. No other site out there offers the quality and quantity of artwork found here. |

I have been a subscriber since 2000 and a Lifetime Member since 2006 and there is little doubt that Ryan's work is nothing short of phenomenal. Each render is a piece of digital art that ranks right up with the classics of oil and canvas.
With frequent updates and an open ear to his fans, Ryan's work is worth ten times what he asks for. Do your desktop a favor, subscribe for life. |

I was very excited when I was able to buy an account. I have been coming to this website for all of my wallpaper needs for years now; a lot of that was when I was in high school and collage. Now that I am able to afford an account I could not wait to get one. I think it is one of the best investments I have made. The best thing I can say about his artwork is that I can not count the number of times I have been asked what game or movie my background came from only to laugh and point them in the direction of this site. |

I love desktop pictures and change mine every half hour during the day. I came across a couple of Ryan's (the mushrooms and the jellyfish I think) and thought they were so beautiful I had to investigate further. When I found Ryan's site I was blown away by the variety and the imagination of his works. I visited the free site frequently until I realised that I was coming back so often he deserved to be paid for the work I was enjoying so much.
Paid for membership a couple of years ago and have realised it's the best money I've ever spent.
If you like the free stuff, get a membership, you definitely won't regret it. |

I discovered Digital Blasphemy over 6 years ago, while in High School. I thoroughly enjoyed the free backgrounds. When I finally graduated and became of age to get a credit card, my first purchase was a one year subscription to DB, which I did for 2 years after.
By that time, I knew that I would never not subscribe to this site. The art work is certainly some of the best I've seen, but more then that, it's got a subtle beauty about it, that few others have managed to capture.
Maybe it's just me, but I've found many of the pieces here, do more then just make my computers screen prettier. |

I can't remember when I was first shown this website, but I fell in love with it. I've been a member for at least 5 or 6 years at this point. This was one of the first sites on the internet I actually paid to become a member. There are so many positive things to say about what Ryan does - not just in his work but how he handles feedback from everyone. His work is brilliant and everyone I know agrees with me.
There are so many different types of images that I can always find a new wallpaper to fit my current mood. The price for a year account is very reasonable and the fact that you can renew your account way after it's expired is also a very nice feature. I've had problems with my account in the past and Ryan quickly responded and resolved the issues for me.
Again, this is some of the best work out there. I've never, ever been disappointed or had any regrets over being a member and I doubt you will!

I have been a member for many years and Ryan's is the only art that I use for my desktop. Everything he produces is beautiful and I always get several amazed comments.
I tell everyone I know about this website because the quality is excellent. If the Free Site intrigues you, then a membership is very worthwhile. You will not be disappointed.

If you have $25 on you, don't even think about it, just do it! The wallpapers are so magical, they transport me to other lands. The work is so stunning, so awesome, it's not worth the time thinking about it. Ryan's work is truly stunning, and you won't regret getting a membership. I was on the fence for many weeks, should I get it, should I not, and so I went ahead and got it.
And boy am I glad I did.
If you like what you see in the Free Gallery, go signup! Right now!
Go on! www.digitalblasphemy.com/signup is where you should be.
And be transported to other worlds.... |

I've been a Lifetime Member since August 2005 (plus one or two 12 month memberships prior to that) and I can say with all honesty that Ryan is the best at what he does and that's make unbelievable wallpapers. You'd be hard pressed to find another site where you could find Digital Blasphemy's combination of excellent quality and varied quantity.
This is especially true for those with multi-monitor setups such as myself. I'm very glad Ryan continues to release his work in single, dual and triple monitor variations (I've used them all!).
If I somehow manage to outlive my current membership (set to expire in October 3007) I wouldn't hesitate to renew for another lifetime. |

I can't say enough about the great work of Ryan through Digital Blasphemy. I have one reaction that I receive often though that sums it up pretty well. At my office, I have four monitors on my desk, each has a different DB background. About once a month, I get a comment from a co-worker asking me where that picture was taken, or is that photo real? All I have to do is smile and say Digital Blasphemy. They nodd knowingly and go back to their desk to pull up Ryan's latest work. |

I have been a member since 2000, and purchased a lifetime membership when they were first made available. This is definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made. There are wallpapers to suit every taste, mood, and season. I was VERY impressed with the first work I saw (Early Frost, which my brother-in-law had downloaded from the free site onto my computer) and it just keeps getting better every year as technology advances and Ryan continues to develop as an artist. Digital Blasphemy members are always treated with fairness and respect. So much these days is impersonal, strictly commercial giant corporations deciding what media we should consume based on a lowest common denominator, it is a privelege to help support an independant artist. I highly reccomend anyone who likes the work they see in the free gallery to take the plunge and join Digital Blasphemy. |

There have been many a time when someone at work would stop to comment on how cool the wallpaper is that I have up.

ALL of the comments I receive are positive and I constantly recommend to others the benefits of becoming a member. Its definitely worth it! |

I was introduced to Digital Blasphemy in 1999, and I subsisted for 2-3 years on the free gallery. A friend of mine became a member and I saw so much more was available! It didn't take long before I became a member myself and have been ever since. For 15 bucks per year, I see some of the best 3D computer generated artwork avaiable anywhere.
(And the occasional photo of two very handsome little boys.)
Thanks Ryan. |

I have been a fan of Digital Blasphemy for at least 10 years now, and I recommend the site to anyone who wants to be impressed with digital art at its very best.
Digital Blasphemy has - hands down - the finest digital art I've seen anywhere. Ryan's site has something new every time I visit - and I visit frequently. I've never been disappointed with anything I've downloaded from the site, and I am so impressed I'm converting my yearly membership to a lifetime membership this coming year.
I cannot recommend this site often enough - or highly enough. It's worth every penny to me to keep this quality of work and professionalism alive.
You won't regret becoming a member of Digital Blasphemy.
I know I do not - and I never will.

I'm a lifetime subscriber, and even when I could really use the money elsewhere, I've never regretted it. I love Ryan Bliss' art! Every time I change my wallpaper at home or at work, within half an hour someone leans over my shoulder to admire it.
I also love it because I'm a writer, and Ryan's imagination sparks mine. I change my views frequently, and I can always find something gorgeous that suits my mood perfectly.
The customer service is phenomenal. The one time I had a problem (my screw-up, pure and simple) Ryan fixed it in no time, and was even understanding of my child-caused goof.
My DB subscription uses my personal email, not the one I use for newsletters and such. I haven't regretted that, either. Digital Blasphemy does not spam. |

I have enjoyed being a member for over a year. One of my coworkers had an image from a long ago Christmas that I liked, so I investigated the site. Fifteen dollars a year for all these wonderful wallpapers seemed like a good value to me, so I signed up.
Yes, waterfalls are tricky, aren't they?
I recommend the site also for the dual and triple monitor wallpapers. These help to spice up many work environments.
Thanks for pursuing your passion, Mr Bliss! |

Ryan Bliss just doesn't create a desktop backgrounds but worlds in which one can escape the pressures of time and tasks. When I clicked on the first thumbnail the detail took me from my deskchair and allowed me to go places only your mind can go. The amazing thing is I check the members updates daily just to be blown away every release. I have never been dissappointed. The membership fee is my plane ticket to be amazed. |

I as well started with an annual membership but long ago went "Life Time". I change my wall paper frequently, occasionally several times a day. My family says that it is a mirror of my feelings at any particlar time. Easy to use, fun to play with and the images just seem to be right for what I am trying to say to those that use my system while I am away.
Through the years that I have been a subscriber, I have taught several young children barely big enought to occupy my desk, to open this window and explore the images. If nothing else, two of these children already knew how to spell "blasphemy" before grade one though I must admit that I have been a little slower on the uptake.
My advice to anyone that I have introduced to this great little company is, "Try it for a year and if you don't use it, it has cost you nothing more than a few Starbucks Specials!" But if like thousands of others you believe it is for you, join the large group of "lifers" and hang on for your journey into the future of computer imagery.

I work two jobs to support my family, and my dollars are precious, especially when it comes to buying online memberships. To win my patronage, a site has to offer something really special, something that earns my respect and my money...digital blasphemy meets that criteria.
I've been a member of the site for several years now, and I've never been disappointed. The images are breathtaking, the access is easy, and the quality and innovation of the images just keeps getting better and better! I can always find something beautiful to fill my desktop background that fits my mood, celebrates a holiday, and elicits compliments from my co-workers and family. Digital blasphemy is one site I intend to continue to support, and one site that I can recommend to others without hesitation - it's an art gallery with a purpose, a place to find beauty. |

I've been downloading images from digital blasphemy almost since the beginning. Almost every background I've ever had has been from here. I tried a one year membership first - just to gain access to all the other images that non-members can't get to. At the end of the year I came to the conclusion that the lifetime membership was pretty cheap given the quantity of material online, and the fact that there would be no more renewals for as long as the site exists.
I'm happy to be able to support a site that I love, so I would say that a membership is 100% worth it!! |

A couple of years ago I was doing a course with the Open University (yes I am British!) and DB was on a list of site we could chose from to review as part of the course.
The name of the site intreagued me so I had a look and I haven't looked back since!
As soon as I could afford it, I became a member and have never regretted it!
I do not go anywhere else for my wallpapers and Ryan continues to amaze me with the quality and imagination of his work.
Thank you Ryan for an amazing site and long may it continue :-)

As someone who spends at least half of his work hours in front of a computer, I have to say that it doesn't take long for me to tire of my desktop wallpapers. With a Digital Blasphemy membership, that's never an issue.
Ryan produces new artwork on a regular basis. With the selection of widescreen, single, double, or even triple monitor images, there's something for everyone. If the most recent image doesn't suit you, take a peek at the archives that go back to 1998. Or my personal favorite section of the site, the "Pickle Jar." Here you'll find variations on many of your favorite wallpapers. Different colors, different viewing angles, and sometimes movies. What more could you want?
C'mon, it's only $25 to start your subscription. You know you want to. I've been paying for either 2 or 3 years now, and it's worth every cent. Plus, it's not like certain other sites that send you weekly updates. The only message I've gotten since registration is a reminder when my subscription's coming to an end.
Long story short: Subscribe. It's worth it. |

Not only are Ryan's dual wallpapers stunning works of art but they are always nicely focused so you don't feel the key area of the artwork is being broken by the monitor split. If you're a dual screen user and not a member you're simply not doing your desktop justice IMO! |

I have been visiting Ryan's site since at least 1998. I was shown the site by a co-worker.
Since then, I have been coming here for ages to get the best wallpapers.
I don't go anywhere else to get good art and since I, like many of you other fans, spend a lot of time in front of a computer, it's nice to have some nice digital art for my desktop.
I have been pondering purchasing a lifetime membership as I have been a regular member for a long time but I actually think that I will forgo the lifetime membership and continue to pay the regular yearly membership as his work is definitely worth paying into. For the small price, his work is definitely worth it.
If you're someone who enjoys his free stuff, I definitely recommend paying into this site to become a member. It's far more worth it to get his art as soon as it becomes available and the updates are far sooner than the free site. I haven't even been to the free site in ages.
As someone who does not display art of any kind in his home, Ryan's "Fluroesence" mushrooms are the only "art" poster I have in my home.
Ryan, you rock! |

I have been a member here for longer than I can remember, first as a yearly subscriber and now as a lifetime member. The quality of Ryan's work kept me interested and the fact that he has only gotten better over the years made the lifetime subscription a no-brainer.
No one else's work ever appears on my desktop, and I get comment after comment when other people see them.
The only emails I have ever gotten from Digital Blasphemy were the ones to remind me that my subscription was about to expire. Since purchasing the lifetime subscription, there hasn't even been one.

DigitalBlasphemy has transformed my screen and those of my family into virtual showplaces of art and attention. When friends walk by our various computers, they inevitably stop and just gaze in awe with the brilliance that is Ryan's talent.
As a Senior PC Systems Analyst for one of Americas largest oil companies, I enjoy providing Ryan's background beauty for my clients. Because of this, word of DB has spread worldwide and comments continue to flood in. I can easily say Ryan's work here on DB is currently displayed on computers in at least 14 countries. I hope that number increases, as there's simply not enough good in the world, and Ryan's art makes it all a little bit easier to take.
Lifetime membership definitely has it's benefits!! I urge anyone to seriously consider it because it's definitely a bargain at twice the price!
There is no, and never has been, ANY spam coming from this wonderful site. Ethics and pride are quite alive here at DB. McAfee be damned!
Keep up the great work Ryan! You ROCK!

My work sets my travelling about taking my laptop with me and everywhere I go people comment on my backdrop.
I always smile and point to the bottom right corner of my screen, just above the Windows system tray. "Digital Blasphemy", I say. "I get all my backdrops from there. No, it's not a photo. It's 3D generated."
And we sit or stand a moment and just drink in the picture.
I eagerly await all the art yet to come and spend many a while wandering that you've already produced. I am never without your wonderful pictures either my work laptop (currently: Idyll) or my home desktop (currently: Cosmos).
Thank you, Ryan, for Digital Blasphemy!

I stumbled onto DigitalBlasphemy completely by accident. I was looking for some work done by Dru Blair, and somehow found Ryan's work.
His work has inspired me to learn Bryce (2, 3, and 4). Eventually, I branched out and decided to tackle Lightwave 3D (8) and Vue 5 Infinite. I find that now I'm only limited by CPU power and time. If I ever quit my day job, I might invest in some serious horsepower.
When I'm lazy and just don't feel like tying up my computer with a render, I just go to this site to update the background image. Well worth the annual fee, and in hindsight, I would have done well to become a lifetime member a few years ago. If you're new to this site and like what you see, you might want to check into a lifetime membership. I think Ryan will be doing this stuff for awhile - we hope. |

I've been a member for many years now. Started out with the free stuff, then started to pay each year for a while until I realized that I might as well pay the lifetime fee. So I did, and I haven't regretted it. I have used his pictures as my desktop wallpaper for a long time. I like to have something nice to look at while I'm at my PC.
Ryan make some amazing pictures. The landscapes are my personal favourites. Some of them are incredibly realistic, and my guests frequently percieve them as photos.
So thank you, Ryan, and keep up the enthusiasm. I'd like to say that you're lucky to have your hobby as your work but it wouldn't be quite true. Doing so was a conscious choice and a risk, and I'm grateful you did make that choice.

May 15, 2007

I first got hooked on digital artwork back in '99. A friend showed me some desktop backgrounds done by another artist that had quite an obsession with spheres. I found these pastel landscapes captivating, and always wanted more.
Some time later, I found Digital Blasphemy and for years have enjoyed the free designs available here. I immediately downloaded all of them that were available, and continued to do so from time to time as the free gallery changed.
I have had several years of enjoyment, gazing into these unreal worlds.... and I finally decided that it was high time I actually paid for the enjoyment I was getting.
I purchased a lifetime membership because I feel that I've already had plenty more than a hundred bucks' worth of pleasure from this art - that's only, what, ten visits to a movie theater? And I NEVER have to renew? Sold.
I can say with all honesty, if Ryan stopped putting out new backgrounds right this very moment and never shared another one, I still feel like I'm getting a good deal.
So, with "Cloud Canyon" now on my dual screens at work, I have another world to look at in my spare time, and lazily wonder what's beyond the horizon.... |

I've been a fan of digitalblasphemy.com since before the mushrooms were transparent, which was way back in 1998 (my freshman year). This year is the second time that I've been a member, and this time around I've realized that what I need is a lifetime membership because as much as I love the oldies but goodies, Ryan's new material keeps drawing me back in.
I definitely highly recommend membership - you get tons of value for your moolah, and if you're like me, you'll never look elsewhere for wallpapers.
One last comment: Ryan takes good care of his members. I've never received any unwanted email, spam, etc and I know I never will! :-) |

I have been a member of DB for 5+ years now, and giving Ryan a thorough review would be tough in a short format so I will try my best.
My personal preferences are the space, images with a person in it(Toward Daylight 2006, etc...), technology fantasy, and his Halloween themes. This isn't to say that his others are bad, they are fantastic, this is just my personal preference.
It is interesting to see how technology and Ryan have evolved. You can definitely tell the difference technology has made in his wallpapers with how much more realistic most of them are compared to his early work. You can also see how Ryan has evolved as his work has changed much over the years and he has a large variety of different themes opposed to just a few themes from his earlier work.
Over all Ryan's work is outstanding. His attention to detail is top notch and he knows how to blend lighting to give the ever important appropriate shadowing which makes life realistic. You can tell he puts a ton of hours of work into each wallpaper, and although some are not master pieces, each and every one of them is excellent to outstanding in quality and craftsmanship.
If there was one thing I would improve upon, and this is minor, is the turn around time on wallpapers at times. Some times there are fairly lengthy delays (about a week to 10 days) before you see or hear anything from Ryan. While this isn't too bothersome as I know he has a life on top of his job. At times I find myself wanting to see what is next and am left hanging for a while. As a fan that can be a bit discouraging but I have remained a member of Ryan's for over 5 years now and will continue to do so until such time that Ryan feels that making wallpapers is not his thing anymore.
Thank you for the work Ryan and I highly encourage anyone to become a member of Digital Blasphemy. The wall papers are excellent, the customer support is excellent, and the fact Ryan actually listens and responds to his members feed back is invaluable!
