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...

This beautiful fractal is dancing, great light and texture.

The linework is pretty amazing-- I think it would benefit with higher contrast-- but I know you don't do post.

Wonderful!

The line work is wonderful. It seems to add to the feeling of heat being radiated. Lovely delicate spiral, the source of the heat and light.

Wow, Andreas! You took this technique to new heights! Fantastic composition! You really have style when it comes to texturing. Ah, the addiction of just having to finish that newest fractal creation, no matter what time it is...:) Hope your work day is an easy one, and that you can catch up on your rest.:))

Magnificent!

The night was short because my little daughter became ill in the evening and I got a call from my job very very early. I created the fractal on last Saturday and Sunday.
