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...

what a lovely design. i really like the soft quiet colors - soothing. the texture effect is nice too- makes it more tactile and earthy without sacrificing any of the dainty-ness.
aramina
a fine design, it reminded me of a delicate fan, wonderful colours and textures

Wow! Superb shapes and textures.

Fantastic background (frame?) texture! I like this tree even without fruit, can't wait to see it when you add some!
Henny31
the soft soothing colors was the first that got my attention, and the lovely form of the tree was the second...I read your text twice and can't help but feel you are insinuating something...the NO3 and the word BABY puzzled me...;-))

@Henny: The No. 3 is really missing. It was very late when I saved the set of starter images for further play and finish. And the baby - it will come within the next few weeks. It is my third child (the missing No. 3?)...

Andreas your tree is already bearing fruit ,Just look at all the comments of people who love your tree .this looks like a crowd of people carrying placards ,a protest meeting maybe ? The border is unusual it looks like a reptilian skin ,all together it`s a joy to view .

amazing fractal artwork. i like how the blue presents the element of water running trough the different circles of aggregatzustde , fest, flsig und gasfmig.sorry i can write this in english. HUGZ #:O)
Giana
i suppose i see this differently... my immediate thought as the image loaded for me was that it reminded me very much of a womb, and above you say you are expecting a little one soon?? my deepest & heartfelt congrats and joy :))

Marvelous Mandras, Andreas! I especially like this cool texture pattern - is it the new "Knot" ucl? Hmm, at second glance, maybe not knot - cool anyhow!
aztek
I only got to see this now, Andreas! What I see is a large number of entities filing into a closed space, milling around and waiting for something to happen. Unlike most people who see this as a calm, tranquil image, I see restlessness and dynamism. They're all waiting for the Baby to be born, I guess! Well done :)
