Nice piece of work Mark glad you had fun nicely done!!!

How clever you are , Mark! I really love the outcome!

WOW! What a result of blend and fiddle and fun. So much to see and enjoy. I really love the way you have cut it up in severel parts and framed it so beautifully. Great idea. A really stunning piece of art :-)

This disappeared before I could make my first comment, and so, with the help of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sadko: the Song of India." You know, it really just cuts right to the chase: with that first note--bam!--you're right there. (Them Rooskies sure do know how to play the fiddle!) So anyway, with that tone on constant repeat, I came back and saw this in its full glory. And it's glorious. I love the overlay of text--in cases like this, it doesn't really matter what the text says, and yet knowing what it says adds something. A nice little treat. I can only imagine the amount of layering that went into this and I adore the colors! They're superb: a full spectrum (and then some) which makes me think of a character in an Iain M. Banks novel who declared that ultraviolet was her favorite color. And that brings me to one of the other great things about this image. This piece sparks so many associations and stirs up all sorts of feelings, memories (even memories of things that haven't happened yet) and conversations in quite a number of languages. Most of all, though, I get the feeling that this piece has much in common with music. Aside from the Rimsky-Korsakov association that started off my pre-viewing of this image, the image itself makes me think a bit more of somebody like Giacinto Scelsi (one of the under-appreciated music gods, if you ask me. I get all giggly and happy whenever I listen to his compositions.) In scrolling across this, I was reminded of his composition, Pranam...which is basically a long, sustained tone; with a Soprano doing some rather non-soprano things with the more guteral/glottal aspects of her vocal apparatus: there's movement in the music that matches the linear movement in this. Of course, with Scelsi, it's all musical/tonal/aural, and your piece is visual, but like Pranam there is a huge mass of subtleties that really draw both the eye and the mind in. I think it's in the way that this image reaches all the way across...there are breaks, hills, valleys, and all sorts of exciting things going on, and it's all unified (without being boring) by it's linear progression from one side of the screen to the other, and back again. It's amazing. Really. For me it's quite exciting and it's something that I can see on a gallery wall: probably not too far from those Abstract Expressionists I've been getting obsessed with, lately. I need to catch up on viewing, and this is the best place to start, and this is also making a trip into my favorites.

very beautiful

Oh my, Chipka stole my thunder again. I was going to say virtually the same thing about this mind blowing presentation, but not in his massive Leo Tolstoy War and Peace-like book form. When I peruse this masterpiece, Mark, I can't believe all of the color, fonts, detail and texture, both horizontal and vertical, involved in its creation. It is spellbinding with just the data itself. You must have spent hours on this. With all of that effort, maybe this was the cause of your shoulder problem. Be well.

I zoomed, and was amazed, but I almost think I like seeing it in the thumbnail, all compressed and neatly packed, holding all that promise of goodness to come; I know, I'm weird that way...

What a dense, massive, complex, expressive, colorful & cryptic piece this is. It's a little but of sensory overload for me & I'm not quite sure how to process it. I started to try to read the comments embedded in it, but since they're both rotated & distorted, it was giving me a neck ache & eye strain. I feel like there's something important you're saying here, but I can't quite decipher it. Maybe I'm over thinking it & should just enjoy the swirls & flows of color...

What fun! I like the self-referential nature of these pieces you do from time to time with RR pages, especially when it's the comment page of the art overlaid ON the art. Nice!

Mark, this was an extremely clever concept that only you could being to life in such a charming manner. I love the way you've almost bonded the comments to this amazing work of art and taken it to the next level.

Very very great effect of movement quasi hysteric like in a great dynamic town !! !!!!!
