• On the mend from yet another Crohn’s related surgery yesterday. This disease is really starting to get old. Doesn’t look like I will be seriously sidelined by this one though, just more PITA for me.

• I’ve added “Afterglow” to my Zazzle collection. I had to brighten it a little from the wallpaper version (wallpapers are backlit) so the thumbnail on Zazzle looks brighter than what you see on my website.

  I’ve left the white border off of this one and put the title and signature in the bottom right corner (like my wallpapers but smaller). I am trying to convince Zazzle to allow me to set all of my posters as “customizable”. That way I could post them all with the white border but you choose to crop it out (and add a your own title, leave it blank, or whatever). I’ll let you know how it goes. If anyone has a preference one way or another please feel free to post in the comments thread below. Thanks!!

• I’ve added dual and triple screen versions of my new “Fluorescence (2009)” render. I’ve added some new color combinations to the shrooms of the side.

  Regarding replacing the blue version in my gallery: I would have kept the blue (2009) version if it had been rated higher than the blue version from 2000. It was not. I am happy to let the 2000 version represent the blue strain of these mushrooms.

• The reaction to my new multi-hued version of “Fluorescence (2009)” has been so positive that I have decided it will replace the blue version in the gallery (it will remain available in the Pickle Jar).

• Quite a number of people have been asking about the version of Fluorescence I used for my “dbnewimages” twitter account. That one has some extra colors that I added in Photoshop. I didn’t want to put that in the Pickle Jar because anyone could have made it really. I played around in Lightwave and created a version with different colors that could only be rendered.

  It’s in the Pickle Jar for now, but I kind of like it (almost like it better than the blue version) and wonder if it should perhaps be in the gallery.

  What do you guys think?

• I’ve posted the dual and triple screen versions of “Afterglow (2009)” this evening. Rather than leave the trees where they were in the single-screen version I have moved them out to the edges of the frame so the composition is mostly the same (but with more sky showing). Hope you like it! P>

• The multiscreen of “Afterglow” should be up later today (fingers crossed). In the meantime I wanted to draw your attention to a couple of items I have posted on the DB Facebook page. The first is an email I received from a soldier stationed in Iraq that touched me greatly. The second is a write up of our recent visit with Rackspace (with some photos and a video of me giving a short speech and, um, dancing).

  It’s pretty easy to post those sorts of things on the Facebook page (usually while I am waiting for a test render to complete), but I wonder how many of you actually see those items or if I should take the time to post them here as well for those of you who do not wish to join Facebook.

  As always, you can subscribe to this feed or follow “dbnewimages” on Twitter if all you want are notices when new graphics are posted.
