• As I said yesterday, thanks for being patient with me. My unplanned trip back to Illinois really distrupted my workflow. A took a day to decompress after we got back home and then started in a new wallpaper. The end result is now up on the new images page. Though it’s called “Valley of the Sun 2002“, it bears little resemblance to the original 1998 Bryce render. I just thought the title fit.

  Anyway, I hope you like it. I know the sunlight is a little on the bright side, and I will be trying to tweak that over the next day or so. Feel free to write if you have comments or suggestions.

• A side note: I just read that Bill Peet passed away last weekend at the age of 87. Some may remember him as a Disney animator (Fantasia, 101 Dalmations, Dumbo), but I will always remember him as the author of one of my favorite childhood books: The Caboose Who Got Loose. Thanks for the inspiration Bill!
