Party time

Something different from the splits-elliptic pairing, guaranteed to cause optical damage if contemplated too closely ;) A suitable closure for 2009, containing a wish for a beautiful 2010 for you all :D

Afternoon in the financial district

"As we stared up at the smoked glass and steel towers, these monuments to abstraction, these thrusting symbols of Man's folly and greed, the afternoon sun broke afresh upon the facade that reflected only other facades, and the spectrally shifted rays danced with the granular air to a tune unintended, washing human austerity with a temporary palette of natural grandeur."

Caustic resonance

Urban graffiti abstract style.

Highly strung

I sought something different and found it!

The mandala of unfolding

Basic splits-elliptic, but I felt the colours to be rather agreeable.

Thy eternal summer

Dreamy psychedelic abstract.

Winter seedlings

Next year's crop beneath an early sunset.

Urban dreams

As I assemble style galleries for the re-vamped website, I find myself obsessively revisiting each style and bringing to bear fresh know-how, like the antithesis of lovingly discarded pasts. A linked Sierpinski, rendered deliberately grainy in parts.

Dawn of the rising moonclouds

My submission for an Art Pack, based on this Blob Spirals Tutorial. This is considerably altered from the original method by blur reduction, variation substitution and transform linking. Still only 3 transforms and no final though.

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.
