• How do you follow up a hit like “Highland Spring”? I thought it would be fun to go from the epic to something a lot more intimate.

  “Cloverscape” was definitely created with St. Patrick’s Day in mind (it was conceived as an update to a holiday wallpaper I did back in 2001), but I think it works as a ode to spring as well.

  I hope you enjoy it. I’ll try to have the multiscreens up ASAP!

• The Apple iPad doesn’t come out for another few weeks but I have already had a fair number of people asking for images designed to fit the device. I’ve just posted 230 images (Members only) sized to fit the 768 x 1024 tablet. Zip file available here.

  If anyone out there has an iPad I would love to see a picture of it sporting one of my backgrounds. You can post it on my Facebook wall, send it to me through Twitter, or just send me a link. Thanks!

• I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Highland Spring” this afternoon. People really seem to like this one and I’m thrilled!

  You might be interested to know that “Highland Spring” pushed my workstation to its memory limit. It required 13GB of RAM to render (I have 16GB installed) and contained over 25 billion polys. When the dual six-core Xeons become available I may have to make the jump (and go up to 32 GB of RAM).

  Speaking of new workstations, here’s one last reminder for Members: My renewal sale expires tonight at midnight. I’m offering 20% off the renewal of your choice so you can upgrade to a Lifetime Membership for only $60 or add a year for under $10. The renewal form is here (use coupon code “thankyou”). Thanks!!

• As I mentioned before, while “The Forest Citadel” rendered away on my other box, I was able to work on some other projects on my main machine. I’ve posted a number of them so far but I saved my favorite for last. I call it “Highland Spring” and it is now available for Members on my New Images page.

  As the name implies I may revisit this scene during different seasons. I also have spring versions of some of my other scenes in the works so stay tuned. Spring is definitely in the air.

  Don’t forget I am offering 20% off all renewals until midnight March 8 (use coupon code “thankyou”) and my 2 and 3 year Memberships are now available to first time Members. Have a great weekend everyone!

  Thank you guys for supporting my work!!
