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.[2]

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[3], and are presented in various screen resolutions[4]. 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[5].

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.[6].

Designs

Typical designs include day and evening landscapes, cityscapes, space imagery, planetscapes, seascapes, underwater scenes, abstracts, fractals, and images celebrating seasonal events, special occasions, and holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Some of the program to create these images include Lightwave 3D, Digi-Element World Builder, E-on Vue and Adobe Photoshop.[citation needed]

Many of the wallpapers are available in widescreen and multi-monitor formats to accommodate various monitor configurations. In practice, however, there can be difficulty with color matching between different types of monitors. As of July 2007, many wallpapers were converted to display on mobile devices and the first 1080p animated wallpaper was created.[7]

Digital Blasphemy wallpapers were used in Stardock's weather product, The Natural Desktop.[8]
