My Lubuntu laptop has a screensaver that look like that! Very nice.
What I’d love is an updated version of the old Distant Planets screensaver, as preserved here: http://www.oocities.org/dpsaver/index.htm

Nice! In the same vein, I’ve used this guy a lot in the past http://DigitalBlasphemy.com, even buying subscriptions (money well spent), although now with digital cameras they way they are I tend to use my own photographs.

Reynolds has been posting a ton of work in this style on Dribbble, and I’m very glad to see him get some attention. It’s great stuff:

Any art that reminds me of Myst (or Riven) is great art.
