Well...if you make your flames by just hitting the randomize button til you stop and render then I guess a monkey can do it! LOL That's not how I make my flames though. I love the beauty of a single flame and I disagree that there's very little artistry in them...there's a natural beauty in them that I don't see in other types of fractals. Though I do see beauty in non-flame fractals. It sounds like you're sick of them...if they're boring and all looking the same perhaps a break from them til you feel differently. I'm sorry you're so disenchanted right now and hope you feel better soon.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be...
And you help them to become what they are capable of being.
