• Thanks to everyone for the kind emails while we recuperated. I still have a nasty sore throat, but I finally felt well enough to get back to work over the weekend. After playing around with a few abstract themes, I developed one which I thought interesting enough to share with you all. I call it “The Grid” and you can find it on the new images page (widescreen also available). I hope you like it!
• Ian turned 18 months on Saturday. I guess it’s time for a new picture. Here he is driving his school bus down the hall. The wheels on the bus go round and round...

• It’s been a rough week in the Bliss Household. Just after we returned from our trip last week, Ian came down with a nasty case of the flu. In fact we had to take him to the Emergency Room over the weekend with a 105º fever. Just when he finally looked to be on the mend, both Jessie and I caught it from him.

  We’ve both been laid up for the past few days (though my case seemed quite a bit worse than hers). We’re steadily getting better now and I hope to be able to start in on new project in the next couple of days or so. Just thought you all should know…

• Aloha! Thought I should check in and let you all know what’s been going on. No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth. Jessie, Ian, and I just got back from a trip to Maui we had been planning since early last year. We did all the usual tourist things like biking down Haleakala, attending a Luau, and riding in a submarine (in addition to snorkeling and basking in the sun).

  We had a wonderful time though we’re all severely jet-lagged now. After we’re all settled back in and sleeping properly I will start back in on some new wallpapers. Don’t be surprised to see a tropical theme or two…

• I was looking over last years images recently and I noticed that my “Interiors” gallery only had two entries. I decided to try my hand at a new one and I’ve posted the resulting render up on the new images page (widescreen also available). It’s called “Obsidia” and I hope you enjoy it.

• I’ve posted a slightly revised version of “Morning Glory” on the new images page. The original render I posted Monday and a version without the lady (and her cat) is also available in the Pickle Jar. Widescreen, dual-screen, and triple-screen versions are also available.

• I’ve once again set aside my new software to create something using familiar tools. For my latest project I have gone back to 1998 and reworked on my favorite old images, “Morning Glory”. The updated render can be found on the new images page. I’ve tried to stay true to the original but also add a few touches which were not possible seven years ago using Bryce. I hope you enjoy it!

  A widescreen version is available and I hope to have multi-monitor versions available shortly.
