• Hi folks. Yes, I am working on something new. I expect it will be looking good today or tomorrow and it will be up in the gallery immediately thereafter. Thanks for your patience!

• I just added “Nova”, a companion piece to “Protostar”, to the gallery. Yes, more “Cosmos” influence here. I hope you like it.

• Hi folks. Not much new to report on the image front. I’ve been out of town since last Thursday but I’m back now and ready to get to work. My best friend from back home came out with his family to attend a wedding in Napa Valley. Jessie and I flew up from San Diego to hang out with them (since it’s been over a year). We’re back now and we had a wonderful time (more on that in a moment).

  Since I’ve been gone I haven’t had any time to work on new wallpapers. Last week when I uploaded a second Vue d’Esprit render which I did not list on the new images page. It’s probably new to most of you. That will have to do for now, until I get back into the swing of things. It’s called “Estuary” and you can view it on the new images page.

• My last bit of news is of a personal nature. Jessie and I met back in 1996, before I had even conceived of starting this web site. I can barely remember life without her. On Saturday night, on the 46th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in downtown San Francisco, I (finally) asked her to marry me and she said yes. I can truly say that I am the luckiest man alive.

  We haven’t set the date yet, but you’ll see it here when we do.

• Happy Valentine’s Day!

  Last Friday I went to work learning 3D Studio Max 4. It’s an incredibly complex program and it came with around 2000 pages of reading material. It’s going to take a little while before I’m up to speed with it.

  I wanted to post something this week so I decided to open up Vue d’Esprit and do some quick renders. One of them came out kind of nice and I’ve posted it for you today. I call it “Isla” and you can ckeck it out on the new images page. There are three other versions of this image available in the Picklejar.

• Added “Protostar” to the gallery today. This image is inspired by my recent re-discovery of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”, which I picked up a month ago and am only now finding the time to watch. The colors were inspired by the excellent Hubble photo of the Orion Nebula. What do you think?
