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...

Too bad you're not having fun creating your fractals any more, 'cause I'm having a lot of fun viewing them, especially if they are as good as this one :)
smitts
ummm...ok then. That was different! =) On a more serious note, your image is dark and forboding, almost a warning. There is a deep sadness within the colors...or...on the other hand, it looks a little like the borealis. Colorful, fluid in its pattern and well captured. A fine oil painting, I say! Now...go be serious some more and have a Coke and a smile! =D
wolfbear
i agree with ,,aztek,,

I am a Coke addict. I never drink it except just before bedtime. I just have to... Life can be crazy sometimes...

I really like the subdued colouring and sombre mood to this most beautiful painting , Andreas.
logiloglu
oh, i really know this feeling too,Andreas.dont stop to create ( in every medium you want ). its always a good exercise.wenn ich mir erlege, man wde nur en wenn es einem Freude macht, wde man es kaum schaffen z.B. Klavier zu spielen( oder zum Beispiel das Bild das Du heute gepostet hast).Manchmal kann da auch ein Fotoapparat neue Anregungen geben. HUGZ Andreas. #:O)

"And I nearly had (no) fun while creating it." Beautiful sentence! Well the FB forces to think. Fractal software is like Schwanensee for the ballerina. She didn't invent the dance but she still can be a great artist. Helpful hint: work on your signature. It should be there but only be seen on the second look. Gute Nacht.

Work, work, work, that's all it is...you give us your wonderful formulae and make us all work...even you! Sigh, I must still inform you that this is a MASTERPIECE! :) :) Now off to work some more!
KITCHAOS
You are a character Andreas. MASTERPIECE:):):):)!!!!!...now please, back to your suffering...and make sure your Coke is flat, caffine and sugar free...no ice.
kimpe
It's a very nice image.

Well, if you had even a 'tiny bit of fun', wasn't it worth all the work you put into it? I think so! A drastic contrast from you Mandras trees. Winter will be over soon and bright new things will appear everywhere. I drink coffee, even before bedtime.;))

Cool one, Andreas! A bit dark for my monitor but I can see what's going on. Even when you're having "no fun" you make good fractal art! :?) A "coke addict"??? Isn't that stuff expensive and illegal? lol j/k
malia01us
LOL... Great image, very dark but rich--nice painterly touch! :)
Marit
I think it is about time you started drinking lots of alcohol, have a few partys, drink some alcohol again, sleep for a few days and then.. all will be the same LOL ;-) Anyhow Andreas, I love this work very much! I like this kind of painterly coloring! There a great light in it, in contrast with the darker parts. Great work!
abmlober
I hope my irony did not disturb nobody :-)
maud
This one is fantastic Andreas! Great composition of colors..Excellent artwork :)
fractalchemist
AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH! LOLOLOLOOL (choking in laughter here, although I think you worked maybe a tiny bit too hard on this one, but who am I?) I like Ulliroyal's remark about the "Schwanensee" and the ballerina, it's very appopriate;-) Please be careful with flat, hot sugarfree coke it is known to impair your bailout...
Akinom
What a wonderful deep feel is going out of this image! Most beautiful creation, Andreas! **
Richardphotos
tomorrow will be another day, I think-maybe with a little luck!!your post is quite beautiful and I love the additional work.do not give yet, the opera lady has not sang yet!!
CavalierLady
Difference mode? Works very well, if it is... I like the subtly of the texturing here. :)
