Seabreeze 3 - Updated for VGA
I finally got around to updating Seabreeze for VGA. Seabreeze has been a long time favorite. I'll work on editing the desktop wallpaper version for widescreen. Look for that soon. I have to admit I felt a tad nostalgic working with this old favorite. It was one of my first all-original designs and I've always been really pleased with it.
Flying Monkey
A new favorite. This one was really fun to make. I bought the monkey and his airplane from istock; then gave him sky, clouds and some landscape to make his journey complete.

Lil Alien gets and update
I've updated an old favorite. Lil Alien now has VGA and SE versions. Minor improvements to the standard version as well. This one was made with the soon to be released ThemeMaker McDeb 4 which includes the ability to also make VGA and SE themes (both with landscape). VERY impressive image quality with this version of ThemeMaker McDeb. Download this theme and see for yourself! 
ThemeMaker McDeb version 4 will be available any day now!

Skippy
I had a hard time coming up with a name for this one. So, I just used the first thing that came to mind. Either I'm hungry for a peanut butter sandwich, or this little guy just looks like he should be named "Skippy".

Snow Dudes Theme and Wallpaper Set & Mom Update
Thanks once again for all of the comments, prayers and email messages of support for my Mom. She is still pretty sick. Mom has been on a ventilator now for 12 days. Just when it looked like Mom was getting a little better, her temperature went back up to 104 and her kidneys have failed. She's on dialysis to handle the kidney issue and they are trying to control her fevers. We still have no idea what type of infection she has, so it's very frustrating. Mom remains sedated, so hopefully she will not remember all of this WHEN she gets better. Now, if they could only give ME something to forget it as well. My two aunts (Mom's sisters) are here from Florida to help out, and it's been great to have them around.
I know that site updates have been slow, and I'm way behind on custom orders, so thank you all for your patience. I've been at the hospital every day since this all started on November 20th. I've taken a lot of time off of work (the real job) as well. Eventually, I'm going to have to start getting back to work, but it's too hard to be away from Mom yet. Once we turn a corner and she can come off the ventilator and get a little stronger, I will be able to start getting other things done.
Since I've not had much time to make anything new, here's a replay of one of my favorites from last Christmas season:

Sail
Ahoy mates!
I'm feeling nautical today. 
Maybe I'm just anxious for our end of September vacation to Key West. I NEED to go sailing! I moved here to Cincinnati from Cleveland about 11 years ago. I used to do quite a bit of sailing on Lake Erie while living in Cleveland. Sadly, there is not much sailing here on the Ohio River. 
So, I have settled for outfitting our house in an all nautical decor. We have lighthouses, ship's wheels, and sailboats everywhere.

Don't Run With Scissors!
Seeking your ideas for more themes like this. I want to create a 10-pack of themes that include those friendly reminders that our parents always gave us. Like: "Don't run with scissors!", "Wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a car and have to go to the hospital.", Don't cross your eyes, they will stay like that!", "You'll go blind!" You get the ideal. Actually, any short funny little saying would be great. Let's hear some more. If your idea is used, you will get the entire theme pack for free! Don't forget to include your email address in your comments!

Fireflies at Night
This theme is in answer to a recent request for a firefly theme. Strange, but I never thought about trying to draw a firefly before. Can't be done, folks. I'm convinced of that. Mainly because I don't know what one looks like (other than the glowing part). I gave up and went with a bunch of colorful glowing fireflies against a moonlit background.

This theme is designed using the colors of the windows logo. It's bright and colorful. I've found that the most popular themes are those with the words "pocket pc" on them. Well, the naked women themes are pretty popular too. But you will have to go elsewhere for those. Naked men...maybe. ;-)

Sea Breeze
You will probably notice that I tend to post new themes on the weekends. That's really my only "playtime". After a hectic week at work, it relaxes me to create these.
This one is called Sea Breeze. I started out with just the beach chairs and wanted to build something around it. Adding elements one at a time, this is what I came up with. Now if I could only go there. Like...now.

Moonglow
I've been thinking...smell something burning? Seems there are thousands and thousands of PPC 2002 themes out there that feature photographs as the background. Yeah...I'm guilty. I've done a lot of those. I spent a whole lot of time skinning Dashboard last year. It's much more challenging and requires a lot more time and skill. When PPC 2002 and it's themes came along, it was possible for anyone to personalize their device, even without any artistic ability. That's all well and good, and there are some great looking themes out there. But I miss the challenge. So, I'm going to try to lay off the photographs for a while and design themes that take just a little more effort and creativity. I'm working on a new skin for Dashboard/WisBar that I hope to have finished up this weekend. Until then, please enjoy this 2002 theme. It's based on an old Dashboard skin that I made sometime ago. If you would like to see the absolute best Dashboard skins ever made, head on over to CEskins and check out Neil's work.
