• I’ve added dual and triple screen versions of “Colorwheel” to the gallery this morning.

  A lot of you have been asking about multi-monitor versions of “The Astronomer”. I wasn’t able to produce a multi-screen version that did not exhibit extreme disortions of the planets on the far right and left side of the frame. Rather put out a substandard image, I chose to skip doing a multi-monitor version. If you feel strongly about seeing one anyway, please leave feeback to that effect.

  I haven’t abandoned dual and triple screen users, I will always try to create multi-screen versions when possible. I just don’t want them to be lower quality than the single screen versions.

• I’ve spent the past week getting back into “art mode”, trying out some things and starting a number of new projects. I knew I wanted my first wallpaper of 2008 to be an abstract. My abstract gallery was somewhat limited last year and I’d like to do more in 2008 (don’t worry Jessie, I plan on doing plenty of sceneries too!).

  My first wallpaper of the year is called “Colorwheel” and you’ll find it on the new images page. I hope you enjoy it!

• Happy 2008 everyone! I hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday season. I’m happy to report that I am ready to get back to fulltime work now and will start in tomorrow on a new project. Thanks to all the kind thoughts and wishes that have been sent my way!

• I just wanted to again say thanks for all the kind wishes I have received regarding my healing process. I am healing faster than my doctor expected by still way too slow for my own liking.

  I posted an updated version of “Yuletide” in the gallery this morning. I wanted to do a Holiday wallpaper, but had to be a little less ambitious than in years past (since I’m still not 100%). I hope you enjoy it though and I look forward to getting back to full steam in 2008 (if not sooner).

  Jessie, Ian, Jason and I wish you all happy holidays and wonerful new year!

• Time for an update on my condition. The healing process is going slower than I would like, but it is progressing normally. I visited my surgeon on Tuesday and was told to expect another two weeks of recovery. I’m visited by a nurse daily to change dressings and am still on pain medications (though I am tapering that off). Basically I just need to take it real easy for the next few weeks in order for all this to heal up (though I didn’t let that stop me from lifting Ian up for the first time this morning).

  I am at least thinking about my next wallpaper however and am looking forward to getting back to work as soon as possible. I haven’t decided if I will do a Christmas image or a more “generic” winter scene. Either one will probably be of limited use to folks, as I imagine neither Christmas nor Winter scenes stay on the desktop much past the 25th. Maybe I should just do an abstract…

  I will admit that I am not feeling the least bit of holiday spirit at the moment (I’ve only left the house once since returning from the hospital) but it tends to fill you when you least expect it. One thing that has really made me feel better is all the warm comments in regards to my last post. I can’t thank you all enough for the kind wishes.

  Just wanted you all to know what was going on healthwise. Bottom line: I’m healing up.

• One other item to mention: Since last year I’ve had a contract with a company called “Wireless Developer” to offer my images as cell phone wallpapers. It’s been their job to market my images to the various outlets for cell phone images (my “Yuletide” image, for example, is a top seller on the AT&T Media Mall site).

  Wireless Developer contacted me last week saying that they’ve put together a storefront for my graphics. So if you are interested in downloading my graphics directly to your T Mobile, Sprint, or AT&T handset you can text “digiblas” to 32852. A nominal fee applies (I’m not sure how much they are each, but I get 50% of each sale).

  I wish I could offer you all a way to get these for free (since you are already Members) but they’ve put a lot of work into the store (formatting the images for all the different displays) and provide all the bandwidth. Besides, you are all welcome to download my work directly from the Members Gallery and upload it to your phone. The wireless store just makes it very simple.

  Anyway, give it a shot if you are interested. That’s it for now, I hope to post more soon!
