I stumbled across Digital Blasphemy some time ago. The site is provided by Ryan Bliss, and conisists of very detailed and realistic artistic renderings of various kinds, including nature, space scenes, and some cool abstracts. Its wonderfully geeky, and on a large LCD monitor some of these renderings are absolutely fantastic.

I don’t get into heavy modding of my computer’s interface — I tend to stick with standard backgrounds and color schemes, as I find I spend too much time getting really fussy about stuff. But I find some of these images very soothing and intriguing, and maybe a little creativity-inspiring. I have sprung twice now for the $25 annual membership.

There is plenty of cool stuff in the free gallery, but the really good stuff is in the “Member’s Only” section.
