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

Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

Nice work! Good to see you posting again!!

It's great to have you back! Your render looks like an exotic dish served in a square plate! I'm not sure the frame fits very much, but the content of the "dish" is very rich in shape and texture. I love the background soft design.

SWEET! I'm glad your back in action Andreas. Super textures. I find the color of the outer-most frame a bit distracting, but the peice itself is just marvelous.
fractalchemist
I don't just like it, I love it, Andy! (And I agree with Joe here, it does not need the outer frame...)
LindaB
Wonderful textures! Great to see your fractals again :-)
enax
Yes, I luv it and luv to see your fractals again my friend:)
Akinom
Me too, I'm happy to see your fractals again, Andreas! It's really a beautiful composition, the textures and shapes are amazing. Love those "balls"! (agree with above about the outer frame) Keep 'em coming... :o)

Welcome back with this stunning and very unique fractal, most excellent !!!!!!

I don't think I've ever seen a whole spiral before, very impresssive. Love the elegantly textured worlds that seem to be following the path to the center of their universe. Terrific image!

Great to have you back !! Textures and colours are impressive, this is superb work! So, so beautiful ...

Andreas, what everyone else says. It's got sort of a KPK feel to it without the KPK tiles. I like it better without the frame, but I don't like frames in general. I think they should be made of wood, not pixels.
queri
Well, it doesn't need the frame-- though the frame is interesting in its own right. It's a wonderful composition--I'm partial to complete spirals and I've never seen one with the dimensionality, texture and chalky just sketched quality of this one. I love the colors too. probably would have loved the frame if it had that distressed metal rust look. Particularly like the crude near random deformations of the black spiral.

Totally Gorgeous Exquisite work

It's wonderful to see you posting again! I love this image. It seems lighter than your usual and every bit as wonderful. As always, your textures are amazing. I love your parent/child icon as an added bonus. :) As to the frame, it looks like an elegant plate set on an interesting tablecloth. I like it.

i have had a look on historic city-maps of mainz (germany) a few months ago. they had a very similar coloring to this picture. even the touch of yellowed paper looks authentic. i like it a lot!

This is a plate I would enjoy to have adorning my dining room.

Your "whole spiral" is original and extraordinary, Andreas. I love everything about it and- particularly, the coloring and texture work. WOW tripled. Thank you for the inspiration.

I really like the painted look this gets from the outstanding texture work you've done, Andreas. Excellent and different spiral! (maybe a different color for the frame? No biggie, though - I like the pattern)
