Digital Blasphemy is a commercial website for computer wallpapers designed and created by independent artist Ryan Bliss, an English and Computer Science graduate from the University of Iowa. The name Digital Blasphemy was chosen because of the "Godlike" feeling Bliss experienced when creating worlds through artwork.
The site is subscription-based, but a free gallery is available to non-members. Images in the free gallery are rotated regularly with fresh images, and are presented in various screen resolutions. In addition, the free gallery provides multi-monitor samples and mobile device images for BlackBerry, iPhone, and Palm. The member gallery includes all available artwork numbering over 660.
Some images that have alternate forms are in a section known as the "Picklejar". This provides, variously, the same image in different color presentations or a similar image with removed, added, or changed content or elements. At times, the original image ends up in the Picklejar section and the updated and improved image takes its place on the main page.
Famous quotes containing the word blasphemy:
“Long as I have lived, and many blasphemers as I have heard and seen, I have never yet heard or witnessed any direct and conscious blasphemy or irreverence; but of indirect and habitual, enough. Where is the man who is guilty of direct and personal insolence to Him that made him?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
