Just an update: Everything is going well healthwise (thanks everyone for asking) and I’m almost all healed up. I’ve been working on a new project now for the past 4 or 5 days and it’s coming along nicely. I hope to have something up in a day or two.
Anyone interested in more frequent updates on my progress (and sometimes other random thoughts) is welcome to “follow” my new Digital Blasphemy Twitter feed. If you don’t want to sign up for Twitter itself you can read the updates in a box to the right.

I’ve added dual and triple screen versions of “Phraxis” to the gallery this morning. I tried something different with the dual-screen version (splitting the planet between two screens instead of forcing everything onto one side) and I hope it works out.
I’m not ruling out using this planet for a future landscape image (as I mentioned trying out in my previous post) but I think the planetscape will stand as is.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with Apophysis, the freeware flame fractal program, and trying to integrate the fractals into my 3d work. The comet in “Harbinger” is one example. My latest render, a planetscape I call “Phraxis“, continues these experiments.
I would have had this one up a few days ago, but I did some attempts at using this scene as a backdrop for a Vue d’Esprit landscape render. I wasn’t happy with any of the results so I’ve posted it as a pure space scene. I may play around with it some more in Vue, but I thought the scene itself made a nice enough wallpaper so here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

- By request I’ve added 640 x 480 images (designed to fit the G1) to the Mobile Resolutions. A zip file is also available. I had actually prepared these files for my “Gallery-at-a-Glance” page, but it turns out they also have use as a mobile device resolution. Happy Valentine’s Day!

- I’ve added 360 x 480 and 480 x 360 images, designed to fit the BlackBerry Storm and Curve models, to the Mobile options. It took me a little longer to put the Storm wallpapers up because the “portrait” aspect ratio required me to do a lot of the cropping by hand to get a pleasing result. A zip file is available on the Downloads page. Hope they work for you BlackBerry users!

Recovery Update (hope this isn’t TMI): If everything had gone according to plan I should have been close to 100% by now. Unfortunately I came down with an infection in my incision a few days after my operation and we are still dealing trying to get it healed up. A few days ago my surgeon had to reopen part of my incision (not fun) and we may have to reopen more next week if things don’t improve significantly.
Jessie has been great about changing dressings and keeping everything under control, but this is all going way to slow for me.
Just thought I would keep you all in the loop.

- I’ve added the dual and triple screen versions of “Harbinger (2009)” to the gallery this evening. I’ve also posted a poster version on Zazzle for those interested in a physical copy.

I’m not going to lie to you guys. The last 3 or 4 weeks have been pretty rough on me (see the posts below if you haven’t visited in a while). Slowly and steadily, though, I am getting better and this past week I was able to settle in at my workstation and finish the wallpaper I had started before I had to go into the hospital.
I think the piece is ready to put in the gallery and I’m sure a lot of you are ready for something new. It’s a reworking of an image I did back in 2001 called “Harbinger“. “Harbinger (2009)” is now up on the new images page for your review.
It feels good to be posting pictures again. I hope you like this one.
P.S. Happy Birthday Jessie! Thanks for taking such good care of me.
