MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Fractal Artz

I think Fractal art is a good medium because:

1. It takes almost no skill at all
2. It is fun to watch while you are high (if only I did owned drugs!)
4. There are pretty colo(u)rs

So I made this rarely-updated photogallery blog of random pretty shapes and color schemes I discover by accident through a complex series of equations. If this just shows off my spaggyness, so be it.

ooh, pretty colours indeed :D

I do hate the navigation thing you have chosen, though.

I love 'em!

Thanks, glad to hear that, both of you  :lulz:

I used a variety of programs, all for linux (some are offered for other OS'es, however):

I usually use a lil program called "xaos" to do my initial "exploring" because that is what it was made for; it allows you to quickly search through the mandlebrot or what have you, and is great fun to use while you are high (or so I have heard :P )

I usually render them in gnofract (works in 4d, crazy shit dude!) or Fraqtive (which has a very nice "julia" setting which allows further exploration). They both allow a nice degree of customization, and colour scheme debauchery  :)

Tell me if you have any more questions!

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the ones in 3d were created in a program called "apophysis", which is a whole other beastie, trust me :P
