This is the first digital blasphemy image that I had ever seen & it's still the one I think of when I thing DB :)

Have enjoyed this one for many years. So beautifully simple and complex at same time. Fabulous color, so peaceful looking is what keeps it as one of my top ten.

Yep, I'm another one that Fluorescence6--and the original Fluorescence--drew in. I'm a new member as of tonight, largely due to these two images. They are, simply put, beautiful.

This is a classic image, recently I wanted this as my background for my dual screen work computer. So instead I got the tri-screen version, and just center the image in XP. With the start bar on the right hand side of the right monitor it creates a brand new composition for a classic.



As a Aystem Admin I constantly have people looking at my screens, and they almost always comment on how I always have such good backgrounds. By and large they are DB artwork. Thanks for the effort Ryan.

I love this image and I use it as my wallpaper on my iPhone!

Ah... The DB mascot is back. I hope he gets royalties - and vacation. This little guy has been floating out there, working hard for years.

I really like this image and I keep coming back to it. I like to change my desktop once a week, or so and more color choices would be great!



Too bad stardock can't get dreamscape working correctly on Vista Business. I'd love to have this thing ever so slowly cycling through colors!

This wallpaper is what first drew me into your work. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, this work ranks as one of the unsurpassed in terms of public approval. A rework of this wallpaper might be a good thing. Then again, that depends on what you do with it. For myself, this is still among my favorites, nine years later.

My kingdom for a green or purple one of these. This is like the only one WITHOUT a pickle jar version. Sure, theres others, but come on! This is the pic that made me subscribe. Ive been using the free ones forever, but the members gallery was definitely worth it

I also much prefer the original textured rendering (1999).



It would be so awesome if you could produce a tri-screen version of the original, perhaps with some additional clusters of mushrooms (off in the background to the sides).

This picture is getting lots of attention on here of late!



It would be hard to create a new version or improvement over this, The dome shaped mushrooms really does it, the glow, everything.



Ryan, how-about it!?

This is the wallpaper that hooked me too. My son was knocked out by it as well--only time my computer ever looked cooler than his (he once made a scrolling screen saver that read "STOP LOOKING AT ME!"). I come back often for the gorgeous freebies, and yesterday, it finally hit me that walking through Wal-Mart turning loose of cash for junk is the height of wickedness, and that a membership with Digital Blasphemy, once and for all, was the way to get happiness in exchange for money. From a wide-eyed dodo-head to a genius, I can only say, to all your wallpapers..."Wow, pretty!!" Over and over and over. I try to vote on them, but there are only nines and tens here, and the competition of one against another is humongous.

Like a lot of other people here, I accidently came across this website a couple of years ago and the "Neon Mushroom" was the one that got me hooked. I used the free wallpapers untill now and whoever saw the wallpapers on my computer was amazed to find such cool wallpapers. And, finally, I thought it was my time to support the person behind all these good works, so I went ahead and bought a lifetime membership which expires in 100 years!!! Ain't that great?



Thanks Ryan and Keep up the good work,



Seamus

was this one ever in the pickle jar with other colors? if it was will your put it back in for a limited time?

This picture (and all of its revisits) has always reminded me of a computer virus.



I see the 'landscape' under the mushrooms to be somewhat 'digital' as though it would be a representation of the 1s and 0s that make up a computer program, and the mushrooms or fungus to be of a foreign origin and attached themselves onto the code as though it were a virus.



Anyhoo,



Long time fan, thanks for the cool site!

This was the very first image from this site I ever came across. And for years I've enjoyed backgrounds off the free gallery but now that I have extra cash I figured it was time to get the real deal and show a little support and appreciation. So here I am a member.



I actually drew a replica of this a long while back but I have it posted and here's the link...

Great work, I love everything that comes out of this site. This one is just classic.

Greetings,



I recently upgraded my computer to the "gaming system from hell" and my friend told me that I really needed to check out your site. She said it would be a crime to have a 2560 x 1600 resolution widescreen monitor and not use your wallpapers. She was right. You do phenomenal work and everybody who has seen it are always quite impressed.



One of my friends from a discussion board has used a thumbnail (about 160 x 160) of this picture from time to time over the past few years. I asked him where he got it because I wanted to get a full sized copy. He said he copied it from one of the other boards and didn't know its origin*. I have always loved it, so I was delighted to discover that you were the artist and that I now had access to the full sized version.



It has an interesting affect to walk into my den at night and see these mushrooms glowing coolly in the dark. Also, since I live in area known for its "magical" strains of this type of fungus, this picture gets a few chuckles.



The only "criticism" I have to offer at this time is that I'd like to see more wide screen wallpapers.



* I have since informed him where it could be found and that it was copyrighted. Counterfeiting/bootlegging is a particularly bothersome pet peeve of mine.

one of my very favorite images- I've had it for a long time, before it became popular, and now I see it everywhere. It's not surprising because it's just so cool, but disappointing at the same time because I know the artist isn't getting what he should for usage of the image.

Anyway, I think it's awesome... keep up the great work.

My second most favourite Blissful image.



My first being Glenwood.

Ryan,



I'd wager that Fluorescence[6] is your most downloaded of all time. Do you have that stat? Very cool picture and I too liked the 1999 versions with the variety of colors...



And I have to second the idea of a novelty item in this shape that changes colors... That would be sweet!



Keep it up and thanks for all you do!



~ Josh

I can second that.. this picture is everywhere.



I have seen people with this pic on their mobile phones. Asked them where they got it - dont remember.



Thats why i dont use this as wallpaper. I am a member because i want something special or unique on my screen. This is like.... public domain now.

Dear Ryan,



I never realised you created this originally, its 8 years old WoW! It is almost everywhere I can think of, from TV to Mobile Phone wallpapers. Do you own the property rights to this? Becuase alot of people are breaking the law. A true iconic image



All the best



Josh Soffe

This was the first image I even saw from DB, and was what drew me the site. Still an old favorite!

never took much notice of this picture before



i always avoided it for some reason



but now i see why people love this wallpaper



10/10

hey have been a fan since 99 and this one is still my favorite after all these years. Great work on all of them though!

I know I'm in the minority here, but I've never cared very much for this version. I've always loved the 1999 renditions better. I think this one is just too sleek and polished for my tastes. The earlier versions have an unusual way of looking real and surreal at the same time to me. This version looks nothing but surreal, which is fine, and apparently more popular, but I happened to like the other way better.



This is an exception though. I usually love your newer versions better than I do the ones from your earlier years. Comparing the old galleries against the newer ones, it's really apparent how much you've improved upon your talent over the years to create these works of art!

It's still your iconic image, your quintessential digital masterpiece. This is your "Stairway To Heaven", your "Bohemian Rhapsody":)



Ryan, I just thought of what could be a fun idea for this classic. You should make either an .mpeg or a .gif animation of Fluorescence. The mushrooms could smoothly phase from one color to the next like some novelty lighted products one would find at Spencer Gifts.



Come to think of it, the real life thing-a novely glass (or plexiglass, or whatever) figure of "Fluorescence" with LED lights projecting from underneath and changing the colors of the sculpture-would be the coolest novelty product ever. Heck, I'd buy one in a heatbeat.

This image is your icon. As such, I'm suprised it isn't the top of the top 10. It should be.

I never took much notice of this picture before, but gained a fresh appreciation after seeing it on my new LCD monitor. It benefits from a monitor that can render true black instead of just dark gray. It's now one of my favorites.
