• Zazzle is having a back-to-school poster sale until 8/18. My entire poster collection (including my brand new “Moonshadow” print) is 15% off. Simply enter the promo code “BACK2POSTERS” when you check out to get the discount.

  By popular request, I’ve also added the “Fluorescence Triptych” to the Zazzle collection. They’re exactly the same prints that I have hanging behind my desk, except that the blue one does not have the “digital blasphemy” text. They don’t give me an easy way to link to the collection, so simply visit the front page for my Zazzle collection and look for the “Fluorescence Triptych” link on right hand side (under Product Lines).

  I will also be adding more of my images as postage stamps. They should be up tomorrow. If you have a special request for a postage stamp (basically, any image that is already a poster or mousepad is fair game) feel free to post in the comments thread.

  Lastly, I’ve added a 2009 Digital Blasphemy calendar. This time the calendar is printed by Zazzle and there are a host of customization options. It’s a 15 month calendar (spanning Oct ’08-Dec ’09).

• Work on my newest wallpaper is progressing nicely and I hope to have it up by mid-week!

• The digital art community “Renderosity” interviewed me a short time ago. The interview is now up on their home page if you are interested. Here’s the link…

• Added my third (and last for a while) Apophysis fractal render to the gallery this morning. This one is called “Genesis” and, as with the other two fractals posted this week, dual and triple screen renders are available.

  To all of you who dislike abstracts and fractals, thanks for bearing with me while I stretched my legs a little. Thanks to everyone who left the nice feedback!

• I’ve posted my second Apophysis project this morning (I did mention that they don’t take as long as 3D projects right?). This one is called “Ephemera” and I was going for a more 3D look with it. As with “Resonance”, dual and triple screen versions are available.

  I have one last project going that I will probably post sometime before the end of the week and then I’ll put fractals aside for a while and go back to 3D. Anyone up for a journey into space?

• Regarding the Lifetime Renewal Price Drop (see post from 07/27). After some long thought, I think what I am going to do is make this a temporary thing (like a sale). The price will be good for another week and then (on 8/6) I will be raising it back to $99. Get yours now if you want to save a little $$$.

• I’ve added a new abstract to the gallery this morning. It’s entitled “Resonance” and it’s my first “flame fractal” attempt in over two years. A member (Peter) commented on my “Episteme” image a week or so ago and planted the seed in my mind that I should revisit the “Apophysis” software and see if it had improved over the past coupe of years.

  The short answer is, yes, it is greatly improved. Memory errors prevented me from rendering multi-screen renders before and those seem to have been fixed. In fact, I have dual and triple screen versions of “Resonance” up concurrent with the single screen version.

  I have a few other “flame” abstracts that I am tinkering with and I hope to have them up before the end of the week as well. They don’t take nearly as long to work on and render as the 3D stuff.

  I’ve seen the harsh image ratings for my other fractals (and abstracts in general) and don’t expect any of these to be in the top rated images, but they are fun for me to do (it’s nice to take a break from 3D for a short time) and I think they’re pretty. I hope you guys enjoy them.
