Some artwork from Mark Ryden

Mark Ryden's Art and info:

I got this from the "Ultimate" online music art magazine located at IdeaFixa's Rock book page. Their main site is [Located here] and it's all in flash. That sometimes can be good, sometimes bad too when yer tryin' to save links from it.

Below I posted the prog I used to capture images from the page along with a short description of the abilities of the program.


Irfanview has got to be hands down the best & fastest image viewer out there. It also does much much more than even the top line ones that you need to pay for and it's 100% FREE.

Some of the things it will do are as follows:
*It will reformat images in batches. This means that when you get yer digital picture disk back from Walmart and it contains insanely huge files that are impossible to email unless you mail em out one at a time, then it will reformat the images & re size them without effecting the originals to make them easier to share.
*It can build you a webpage in under a minute, which can be uploaded to your site or placed on a CD image disk. Just rename the html file it made for you and place it with the folder that Irfanview made to go with it onto the CD image and add an autorun.exe to it. When you send someone the CD to look at it will open in the form of an offline webpage and it will show thumbnails of all of the pictures you put on the disk. As they click on each it will open up to be viewed full screen. You can also add background music to the html if you wish. I "used to" make birthday CD's for friends and play a happy birthday loop or midi, they all seemed to love them.
*It can do full screen captures. This is handy for making your own buttons for your email or websites.
(I could go on and on forever but you can just try it out for yourself and you have nothing to loose but an under 2 minute download and 30 second install)

Below are the links for download. I HIGHLY recommend you install the plugins after the prog because they will allow you to include most animations like Flash, SWF & FLV, also most mpeg, avi and mpeg formats. Also MP3 (I think)
