• I’ve added the multi-monitor versions of “All Hallows Eve” this morning. Enjoy!

• We’ve been watching the developments in Southern California with great concern. Jessie and I (and a 3 month old Ian) were living in North San Diego county during the Cedar Fire back in 2003 and can remember vividly packing our belongings to make a quick evacuation. I had even removed and packed the hard drives from my computers.

  Luckily the evacuation order never came and the fire bypassed us, but we know how scary the situation can be. The experience definitely influenced our decision to move back to Illinois (we lived in a very dangerous “high fire danger” area with only one road leading in and out).

  Any of you in the SoCal reading this, know that you are in our thoughts. Stay Safe!

• After sleeping on it I’ve decided that I liked the original (smiling) jack-o-lantern better than the frowning one (Ian liked the original better too, said the new one “looked sad”). I’ve posted a new render with a smiling Jack. The “frowning” image will go in the Pickle Jar.

  I think I’m done messing with one now and I hope to have the mulit-monitor version up shortly.

• I’ve posted an updated version of “All Hallows Eve“. I’ve changed the face on the Jack-o-Lantern to something a little less happy, and I’ve added a rising full Moon in the background. I’ve also made this version a tad brighter (though I darkened the foreground grass slightly). Hopefully it will be usable on more monitor types.

  The original version will remain in the Pickle Jar.

• I’ve been getting requests for a new Halloween wallpaper for nearly a month now. I wasn’t able to come up with an idea I liked until just recently though.

  My Halloween offering for 2007, “All Hallows Eve”, is now up on the new images page. This one is pretty dark so it may be best enjoyed in a dark room or you may want to adjust your monitor brightness.

  Anyway, Ian thinks it’s pretty cool and I hope you like it too. Happy Halloween!

• I’ve added dual and triple-screen of “Indian Summer” to the gallery this morning.
