Do you know? The world is full of patterns and designs. If you have seen one, it leads to others, you can vary them, play with them, ...BIOBorn in December 1, 1963, Germany. Studied mathematics and physics in Heidelberg (lost my heart there :-) I still live not too far from this wonderful town and enjoy visiting it as often as possible.
I started with Fractals in October 1999. It did not take long until I noticed that writing colourings is my true fractal desire :-)
Inspired by Damien M. Jones, Mark Townsend, Edward M. Perry, Samuel Monnier, and others
I began to imitate their style. Being a software developer I finally found my own coding style in UF.
After a while I found some friends in the UF world whom I share my ideas and images and ... with.
They give me the impetus for creating new UF code. They show me what an artist can create with it :-)
And now? Now I look over all my pieces of code and try to reorganize them in a way that allows me
to create code with them more or less automatically :-)
Or I take a sheet of paper (!!!) and a pencil (!!!) and sketch some patterns and designs
and hope to find some time to transfer them into UF code.
But these patterns do not really fit into the fractals. Fractal processes distort them and
disturb the geometry. And thus I changed from making fractals to creating 2D geometric designs.
I still use my fractal program - because it can manage making images from mathematical code.
Who inspires me in the real world:
Paul Klee
Wassilij Kandinskij
Francis Bacon
Good old Single Island Malt (colour, scent, taste, warmth, ...)
Sometimes traffic signs or a new T Shirt design (please don't laugh (at least not too loud))
Water colour paintings
Exqusite Photos (Can you open this link to www.photosig.com?).
Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

I love the color & energy in this.

Great abstract work. Surprising where you get inspiration from sometimes. What application was used?
Fractographia
Great brushstrokes, white highlights are excellent!
SeanPratz
Oh, this perfectly captures the emotion. Scary!
Opa
Klasse! Wonderful brushstrokes, terrific strong colors... very powerful! I'm sorry that you had to be angry to create this... I'd like to see more in this powerful style.

Wonderful. 'Frenzy' comes to mind when I view this one.

It's not too hard to decide which one I like better. Maybe because I am choleric/angry many times, and can feel the power in it as if it is a painted image and not c-g. It's great, strong and honest!
mintyfresh
Powerful indeed, and beautiful too : )

Most excellent painterly style in a fractal creation.
aartika
Very nice and painty - just how I like them :-)

So thick with paint you can smell the turpentine.:)) Getting the anger out is not just good, it's Gorgeous!!!

ohhh.. very very impressed by this one: it's you at your best :) (I suppose this is the one you mentioned went at the Top of the Hot20.. I ask, because I never get there.. what impresses me I watch lookin around :)) Anyway, this one deserved any praise it's got in full. I'd like I had painted it in oil colours myself :) This is the best praise I can give you dear :) Rock on!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I keep forgetting you post here Andreas, so I nearly missed this beaut! And that's what it is, beautiful but in an edgy bone-jarring way. Really good!

Beautiful swirls of color...congrats on the top of the hot20

I had voted on this before..and thought I left a comment..its a marvelous tapestry of colors..I can see this as a silk scarf blowing across the wind of the desert...scented air and the poetry of the poet Rumi..:)

I had this assumption that no Glyph image could surprise me. I was wrong. The brushwork, the vibrancy and the use of the colors make this a standout.

--> C O L O R S <-- I LOVE IT
