I added “Magi” to the Members Gallery this morning. I try to do at least one Christmas wallpaper a year. It’s been a tradition since I first started DB. After depicting mostly secular icons for many years I felt inspired this time to explore the Christian aspects of the holiday.

I was at Ian’s school “Holiday” concert recently and was disappointed that many of the songs I sang as a child (O’ Holy Night, Silent Night, The First Noel, etc) were no where to be found. I’d never heard (and didn’t like) most of the ones they chose.

I think whether you are a believer or not there are a lot of beautiful songs, art, and traditions to be found in the Mass of Christ. It’s a shame to ignore them just because they are part of a religious faith. I, for example, don’t worship Zeus but still feel “The Odyssey” is one of the best stories ever…

Anyway, the tale of the Magi always captured my imagination as a child and I hope you enjoy my depiction. Merry Christmas one and all!

A couple of items to mention today. First off, I’ve added “Snowy Creek” to the free gallery today. It was always one of my favorite winter scenes (so much so that I did a holiday and springtime version for Members). I hope you enjoy it too!

Also, I’ve added three early versions of “Axonal” to the Pickle Jar so you can get an idea of how it developed. I think they were nice enough in the own way but I wasn’t really happy until the version in the gallery.

I’m currently working on something new for the holidays to stay tuned!

Added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Axonal” to the Members gallery this afternoon. I always hold my breath a little when posting abstracts so I’m thrilled to see the positive feedback on this one!

Added “Axonal” to the members gallery this afternoon. I’ve always been fascinated with the workings of our brains and this is the latest in my series of “abstracts” to attempt to represent the pathways found there (see “Neuronet“,”Pathways“, “Tendrils“, and “Conglomerator“).

I’ve posted a screen shot of the wireframe of this scene (in Lightwave) here if anyone is interested.

Still working on a new Holiday scene so stay tuned!
