Although God helped me greatly with these, the law doesn't recognize God
as a legal entity to my knowledge, so all art assets are (C) me,
Nocturnal Iridescence, unless stated otherwise.
All wallpapers are released under [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0],
so share them anywhere you like, including any free-to-use wallpaper
sites. I can't make them for every single possible size out there, but I
hope these are good enough.
Today's text is from [Psalm 147:17], KJV translation.
"He casteth forth his ice like morsels"
I was going to integrate the second part of the verse, "who can stand before his cold?", but it ended up not happening. Still, it's part of what I wanted to convey here. God's power is somewhat portrayed by the mandala of text in the sky, and it's creating an overpowering snowstorm - both reflecting the awesome power of God, and also reflecting the fact that He acts consciously; He decides to do things. He isn't a simple force of nature like wind or rain, but rather, a truly living and conscious being who interacts with our world. Also, mandalas are an important part of art in both Islam and New Age, so I wanted to portray it in this manner for people on those paths. At the same time, this is not artwork based on those paths, it's based on the teachings of Christ (true messiah and one with God, not just a mere prophet or teacher). So then, the text here is the true word of God, visually/superficially distorted, while retaining the integrity of its meaning. This deconstruction of superficial form is very important to me, in all aspects of life.
Honestly, if you know my music taste well, you probably know this artwork is very slightly derivative of a couple bands I like, but I was careful to put an original spin on it. Those are psychedelic but based on geometry/shapes, not on nature portrayed in an abstract way. Everything here was made by me.

PS - It occurs to me, since I'm only publishing pages for my own bands, on my own blog, I don't need to write "OFFICIAL" next to every link anymore. In the past I needed to write that to clarify, and avoid accusations of copyright infringement, but I can't infringe on my own copyright, lol. So yes, going forward, I won't do that.
