Geez!! it's been a long time indeed!! I was never quite sure why u stopped posting and I'm still not sure I understand it now but I'm surely glad to see u back! And u made me want to read that book too!! This is definitely not my fav from u but I'm still always amazed at what u do even if I don't like everything u make, cos I have no idea HOW u do this! So to me, whether I like it or not, it's still always amazing! Know what I mean? Anyway, enough blablating, happy to see u back and I hope u'll keep posting! :)

Oooo, my friend is posting again...and I am very happy! As always - fantastic and excellent done!*****!

So nice to see that you are back at it again Jack. I've missed you and your beautiful creations. I don't think I'll be reading that book, but I sure do like the art it inspired. Thanks for sharing it with us. ~hugs~ --Invidia

Contente de te revoir Jack! Magnifique dign..une id tr crtive et les couleurs excellentes! Beau travail V :)

Jack! So good to see ya posting. I really understand what you are going through...that's why I change programs so often, and why I have never really gotten gooood with any one of them. Always just mediocre fun, in other words something to be obsessed over. For me, with your art, it is always in the spirit of Jack which we all love. Plus, you most usually have something interesting to say. (no pressure) Hugs to ya

Interesting and colorful story, Jack, and an imaginative and artistic interpretation and SF offering. So good to see a post from you! Terrific analogy, btw. :~)

Sounds like a very interesting book! I was wondering where you were off to. I really missed your artwork and have always liked it Jack! Your music is awesome also! This image is really excellent! I even like the pink! It gives it a vodoo look :) Cats understand what we say I am almost sure of it :) They are very smart. They mostly go by emotions I have noticed. Welcome back and hope you will stay longer this time :)

Quite an angry angular angst image, glad you're posting again... maybe sometimes it takes a rat's ass offering to understand certain truths... or not. Anyhow cool image.

Oh Jack, glad to see you back posting again, I've missed ya hon!! Sphere was an excllent book and I think you've captured it wonderfully with this fractal :P Cats and dogs are like that too ... careful what you say around yours though, lol... you never know what she'll come home with next :P Welcome back sweetie!! hugglz :)

Very original design and coloring! Well done!

It does look like a fat rat's ass. Dumpster hopping can be a rush.

So good to see your work in the gallery again!!! Sounds like quite an interesting book, I may have to read it myself :-) Welcome back!!!!!!! {{{Hugs}}}

Wonderful to see you posting again. Don't stay away so long. Sounds like an interesting book. Your inspiration will return.

Jack, so glad to see you posting again! :D ANd I love this image ~ I can see the sphere...I was too lazy to read the book, I watched the movie. Oddly enough in this image, I can see a head rising from the sphere...excellent image and work as always! :D

Where have you been???!!! O i love that movie, never had time to read the book. Glad your back. Excellent! tonz of hugz

excellent contrasst of colours and textures

Cool luminous vision!Your selfcritical nature may be denying us some excellent images and words!Personally I've found your stuff inspiring!Yeah cat's prefer chewtoys that recoil in shock!lol!

A very creative fractalwork Jack!!! Have a beautiful symmetry!!!! I like the gradient of colors!!! Excellently done...!!

Hi Jack! I always found your work to be interesting! In fact, I remember a few just by thinking about them...like the swinging bridge piece...that was a real winner...this is cool! and inspiration comes and goes but just keep working!...you know the story of being your own worse critic and all that...

I think the ones that bite is the best cats. they play hard that all. good to see you reading a good book I need time to read too lol so much to do and no time for all. I watching CIA things[like the ones that deid for the country] on tv as I write this. super looking image for the book

maybe missing you made me feeling burned out also... we all seem to go throught times like that... until we remember ... we do have REAL friends here and NEED to come back...So glad you did...

Welcome back Jack. I'm glad your cat brought you a rat! lol q-: This is a cool creature! I hope you won't stay away so long this time. V (:

Very pretty!!

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Most of the time we are our own worst critics...remember that. I bore the crap out of myself. This is cool. Glad you didn't forget us. (more particularly, ME!)

I know I get burned out too but it's nice to see and hear from friends,awesome to hear from you!!Hugs**

Great to see you back , Jack ! I have missed seeing your always interesting work.

powerful colored and impressive composition! excellent interpretation of the creative story! ;o)

Oh! Hi Jack long time, love this image of your alien, it is very spiky, and filled with color, but to me has a rather sweet espression in its face, nice!. I like your story about the cat, they are a mistery, they have amind of their own, Ecellent. V Lina

wow this is sooo cool sorry i am late i didnt know you were back missed your awesome work love this so much!!!! ...fantastic!!

Wow...I managed to miss this! I'm so glad to see you back posting. As much as I love making fractals, I love sharing them...both putting mine here and also look at others'. I don't always have time to comment, but I really love to see all the amazing variety. I like the art I do, and am always amazed to see what other people do and how different their vision is from mine, but it's still wonderful. Your vision is one I always enjoy perceiving, it's so different from my own, strange and wonderful. Thanks for sharing. :)
