I normally start with plain ol' Julia spiral and try out some new variations for one of my old UCLs or try out new UCL ideas. The same is true when I think of new geometric patterns that often results in using a pixel formula. Once I got tired of making spirals but still liked to look at them. Then I created patterns and "abstracts" (It is funny that we don't call a spiral an abstract image). But these abstracts did not get too much response when they were too geometric. Gnarls and Turbulence images got much response.
In the moment a new spiral is just rendering at home...

What I often find less interesting are fractals in a 70's chaotic style (except those from Fred) and images that make too much use of strong symmetry. For me symmetry is ok when it is not perfect.
