The juice seller

I wrote a quick script to automatically implement the basic instructions for plastic pie. Later, whilst investigating julians, I thought to combine the two and got this, all seaside awnings and tangy orange :D

2010 calendars

A showcase of, and links to, my 2010 calendars at Lulu:

Abstracts



Gnarls



Fractal Foliage

Euclid's nightmare

An interesting challenge: to present a fresh twist on the rings2-julian style. The course of my explorations led to a clutch of diverting pieces, but this is the selected work, an attempt at representing a ferociously curved multi-dimensional space that would have the eponymous mathematician spinning around a single selected axis in his grave :D

The shadow of the tree

"Cursed be those upon whom the midnight-moon shadow of the tree shall fall."

Spookiness for WTC Halloween.

Arrested flow

Abstract.

Incubate

Something a little different: wispy, ethereal. Single Apophysis flame.

Twist sixteen

Running with what looks suspiciously like a 'twist' theme, a new twist on those elusive ngon-splits-rectangles flames :D

Spiral dreams

Abstract spiral design rendered deliberately with slight grain.

The Twisted Gallery

Just the place to display truly deviant art ;) Finally getting to grips with edisc-julians.

Stars behind stars behind stars

"Far away in that ocean of gold, stars were silently shooting and falling and finding their fates, among those billions and billions of merging golden lights. And curtain after curtain of gauze was quietly removed, and I saw stars behind stars behind stars, as in the magical Odeons of my youth. And I saw into the vast soft interior of the universe which was slowly and gently turning itself inside out. I went to sleep, and in my sleep I seemed to hear a sound of singing."

- from 'The Sea, The Sea' by iris Murdoch

One of my oft-quoted passages, I finally create an image of it! Rendered with flam3-2.8-beta3.

Sellafield sealife

The old glow-in-the-dark joke, but I couldn't resist the idea of psychedelic corals and teeming fish shoals just off the Cumbrian coast :D

Mekanik

Finally figured out this style!

The new stained glass

Oh, the things they can do with it now! Pre-linked splits-elliptic.

No smoke without fire

The gnarl form epitomises real-world behaviour of smoke.

Flight over Antarctica

The swirling snowdrifts and hidden mountains of that most mysterious of continents basking in the continuous twilight of its 'On' season.
