Digital Blasphemy | 3D Wallpaper

  • I’ve added a spring version of “Canopy Creek” this evening to complete the series. This one needs a bit more work, but unfortunately Vue crashed and now crashes whenever I try to reopen the file. Feel free to check out my first draft while I open my bag of tricks to salvage the situation.

  • My gallery on DecalGirl is now available. If you haven’t heard of DecalGirl, they create reusable plastic “skins” which you can apply to any number of different devices (smartphones, laptops, game consoles and even headphones!) to give it a customized look.

    One of the things the drew me to DecalGirl was that, were possible, they create a special wallpaper which creates a seamless look on the device. You can check out some examples in my mock-up gallery on Facebook. Having a proper wallpaper be part of the package fits perfectly with DB’s raison d’etre.

    I gave DecalGirl the same ultra hi-res graphics that I use for my poster prints so the wallpapers, though a cropped portion of the whole image, will still look great.

    My initial collection contains a few of my very favorite images but I will be adding a whole lot more soon. Feel free to post below if you have questions or comments.

  • Back to business. I’ve finally finished the dual and triple screen versions of “At World’s Edge (Spring)“. I rendered it on my alternate box so it took a bit longer than usual.

    My new project is still cooking so stay tuned!

  • Quick update to my post from 4/6. Zazzle has reinstated my work and Redbubble has tried to clean up the mess caused by a barrage of DB supporters. They’ve deleted the original blog post which accused me of thievery but I haven’t seen an apology of any kind. Bob has been silent since his initial allegation.

    Had he written a nice apology I would have been happy let the water drift under the bridge. As it is I have asked Redbubble to remove his two Floating Leaf paintings due to their uncanny similarities to my own work. I made the request last evening and Bob has 4 days to make his case to the admins about why it should stay. It is fortunate for Bob that RedBubble has a more sensible takedown policy than Zazzle.

    Lastly, I hope to have the multiscreen version of “At World’s Edge (Spring)” finished shortly and maybe this other render if I can ever get myself happy with it. Stay tuned and thanks for all the support!!

    Late Update:Mr. Hall has apologized and I have accepted. As far as I am concerned the case is closed and I am happy to see the end of it. Thanks again for the incredible support. Jessie and I were completely blown away!

  • This is a first! I love Zazzle and they’ve been good to me for the past 10 years or so, but they really need to work on their copyright policy. Today my “Haiku (2007)” print was removed because they said I stole this guy’s work.

    I guess a few days ago he posted this on his blog, calling me a thief and threatening me with “hard ball”. The first I heard of it was today when Zazzle, for some strange reason, yanked my Haiku print.

    First of all, Bob signed his painting in ’08 while my work was created in 2007 (and was a revision of a wallpaper I did way back in 2000). I’ve been with Zazzle for a long time and I am saddened that they wouldn’t take my side.

    So, my Haiku print isn’t available at the moment. Sorry folks. I’m working to get it put back up turning my attention to Mr. Hall. Now off to bed…
