• I mentioned last time that my next wallpaper would be a Halloween theme. A few of you wrote me asking that I update one of my old designs, but instead I decided to try something new. The wallpaper, “Forest of the Shades”, is now up on the new images page. I have included a “Shadeless” version in the Pickle Jar for those of you prefer it that way. Happy Halloween!
• I know some of you are waiting for a multi-screen version of “Crimson Season”. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be able to render one until Vue 6 comes out. My workstation has 8 GB of RAM installed, but Vue 5 can only use 2 GB of it and “Crimson Season” is right up against this limit. When Vue 6 is released I hope to go back and do quite a few multi-screen renders which were not possible using Vue 5. Thanks for being patient!
• Jason is 5 months old today (time flies!). Some of you have asked how he’s coming along. Here’s a pic.

• After posting “Crimson Season” yesterday, quite a few people left comments and emailed me with idea on how to improve the image (I wasn’t completely satisfied with it when I posted it). Thank you! I’ve gone back, reworked it and the new version is now up on the new images page. Yesterday’s version will stay in the Pickle Jar for the folks who liked it. I’m happy with it as it is now though and look forward to moving on.

• I always get an itch to create an autumn scene around this time of year. Inspiration is everywhere. My autumn offering this year is “Crimson Season“, added this morning to the gallery. I hope you like it.

  A lot of folks have been asking about Halloween wallpapers so I will try to get one out before the trick-or-treaters come knocking.

• I’ve added dual and triple-screen versions of “Containment”. I’ve also added a couple of color variations in the Pickle Jar.
• Thanks to everyone who has been using the new comment system. I’ve really enjoyed reading all the posts! To answer a question I read: No, I haven’t been depressed lately (quite the contrary). Blue is just my favorite color and I prefer darker wallpapers (to provide contrast for your open windows and icons).

• I’ve decided to try out a comment system for the images. I’d love to hear what you think so don’t be afraid to be first to comment.
