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...

LOL!! Had me looking up twice and three times with raised eyebrows before I scrolled down a bit. The only thing I could think to write was, "Amazing that we both have the same scanner!" ROTFL!! This is so gorgeous! It looks like a sandcast item!! :)

Excellent image Andreas, it looks like it took forever to render, with all of the intricate details!
Pannyhb
Oh Wow! This .ucl is fantabulous! I really like the torn paper background, and the monochrome coloring sets off the details beautifully without screaming. Very, very nice!

Either way my reaction would be "Oooh, I wish I could do that!". ;-) When I stare at the center of the image, it seems to spin slowly. Very cool.
jockc
Wow, how did you do it??? amazing and beautiful. Also nice to meet a fellow emacs user.

Very cool, Andreas - Looks like an old-time wood-cut print.
creanum
excellent composition....

Excellent sunburst shape and I really like the texture of this, Andreas. It has a neat look like a clay sculpture textured with a fork that they showed us in art class in school. Heckuva formula you're woking on to make this - Well done!

Lovely intricate detailing. and nice form.

Special, Andreas. I love the sandstone texture on the sun form..and the singed paper back is a nice touch.
gunsan
Yes, it really looks like an old copperplate engraving, cool, creative and beautiful! Maybe you should make the background a bit old-looking in color too.
tresamie
OMG! This looks like an ancient woodcut by DaVinci! Stunning!
Zemela
Oh, I love it, the texture is incredible! Congratulations, great work!
gallimel
it has a fantastic force and a style that just deserves the highest praise.

It has the perfection of ancient cult images. The black, white and sepia tones suit it wonderfully.
janlabes
very nice and beautiful!! cool!

Is it not funny that people read so badly;-)))) Nice sketch, Andy....Not a fractal though....
aztek
Beautiful! And IMHO, it IS a fractal :)

Cool pattern, well done!
DaMonk
Wonderful design!! It has a wood cut look to it and a marvelous 3d feel. Excellent image!!

It would make a good sun If you changed the color.
