The First Day in the Life of... by abmlober

The very beginning of a series of quick sketches in my pencil diary...
UF3, one layer, default gradient...
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...

classyladytwo

Precious and sweet. The simplicity of it is very striking! Very nicely done!
estevez
Lovely design and very original. Great idea ! Congratulations !

A great imaginative sketch. It surely is a mother rocking her child. But it could be a cheerful face smiling.
sophielerlei
es ist sehr abstrakt und schlicht, aber irgendwie herzig :-)
gunsan
Creative idea!
KPK
Aaaaah, I'm looking forward to seeing the whole series! More please, more :-) Total klasse!!

It's a mother and child..but she's not rocking; I see her holding her baby up in a moment of unrestrained joy and laughter. Precious concept and great lines, shapes, colors and flow.

A joyful and fun image!

Hey guys... It's clearly me playing with my little one after a hard day at the office :-)
undisclosed-designer
your quite correct, andreas, its a daddy with his kiddo :-))
gallimel
the design is ultra cool. love infinitely the colours :)
TomWilcox
This is a CLASSIC! A "V" without a doubt!!! Seldom have I seen so few shapes say so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you get the idea I love this piece you are correct. Nothing is wasted in this design. Seriously, this has got to be used as a logo for some organization.
sharron
Andreas, you really are an artist! This is so simple yet so lovely.
thomas_e
Einfach super!!!
logiloglu

Like to see more of that series.Super!!!!!
mintyfresh
Very nice, Andreas; very clear and lovely idea, wonderfully executed : ) Interesting that so many assume it's a mother/wife holding a child; why not a dad, folks?
Rykk
As usual, the "Wizard of Textures" has done more than meets the casual glance here. Excellent texture pattern here, Andreas!
Allenox
So simple, so perfect.
figharo
:) Less is more when less is more. A pure delight!
tresamie
FANtastic! I love the very 'graphic' look to this, and the interesting pinpoint texturing!
Mathefrax
Well done!!! I get a lot of joy from this simple well stated offering...:)
Varian
Wow, so simple, so direct, yet so complete!

@d_hood: Perhaps it's not that anyone could do this in a few minutes (in fact I created this image in a few minutes), but that such a simple idea with simple shapes can wake up so many associations in the viewers' minds. When I tried out this shape with pencil on paper and showed it to others - first the three half circles, then the two "heads" added" - most people were simply amazed of what happened in their minds.
And perhaps the same happened here.
FlyByNight
It's wonderful in its simplicity.
