I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Ours was nice. We missed being with our parents and extended family this year, but we enjoyed our first Christmas with Ian nonetheless. His favorite present was a beautiful snowglobe from my Mom. My favorites were two books: “The Complete Far Side Collection“, also from my Mom, and The Smithsonian’s “Earth“, which Jessie gave me.
I took a few days off to relax and hang out with Jessie and Ian, but yesterday I started working on a new wallpaper. I hope to have it ready before Thursday so I can retire the Christmas images and start off the new year fresh. Stay tuned!

- I’ve made one last, very minor, revision to “Boughs of Holly” and I’ve posted a widescreen version.
- I took this photo of Ian to use on our family Christmas cards this year. I thought it would be nice to share with you all. Happy Holidays from all of us here at DB!

- LATE UPDATE:I worked a little more on the “Boughs of Holly” today, focusing on improving the look of the berries. Many of you correctly noted that they looked a little too “perfect”, so I’ve tried to make them look a little more realistic. I saw no need to keep the old version around, so I’ve simply overwrittenthe old files with the new.
- After working on “The Ride”, I thought it would be nice to do a holiday image with some color. I tinkered around with a few different ideas before I came up with something which, I hope, looks festive and fits the season. The new render, “Boughs of Holly” (as in “Deck the halls with…”), is up for your review on the new images page. I may fool around with it a little more over the weekend, but this will be my last new project until after Christmas. I hope you like it!
- Any of you thinking of purchasing my CD or a Calendar as a Christmas present might be interested to know that Cafepress is offering 2 day shipping for the price of standard shipping. Unfortunately, the deal only last through the end of today.

From some of the emails I received last week, I got the impression that you dual-screen users were feeling left out as far as Holiday wallpapers were concerned. Sorry about that. As I’ve said time and again, creating dual-screen wallpapers is a lot more difficult than creating a widescreen (16 x 9) image. Most of my images would easily adapt to a widescreen frame, but very few of them work as dual-screens.
One that does work is my latest image, “The Ride 2003”. I spent the weekend adapting it for use as a dual-screen image, adding some more forest for the left side screen. The render is now up in the dual-screen gallery. I hope you like it. I promise I’ll try to adapt more of my work in 2004!
