An addendum to my previous post: There is a faction among fractalists that insists there is but one (unnamed) program worthy of fractal creation, and all work must take place within the framework of that program. Any addition or alteration by using exterior programs corrupts the fractal and renders it worthless.

I do not subscribe to this theory. My philosophy is not to peek out, not to put a toe out, but to take a running LEAP outside the box at any and all junctures, to enhance, improve, and personalize the work I do. The commonly used phrase is 'fractal art'. I for one will at all times concentrate at least as much upon the ART portion of that phrase as I will the FRACTAL portion. And that, in a nut-and-bolt shell, is the core of what, how, and why I do what I do to make a fractal.

Enjoy the weekend!
