Sorry for the flippant answer. It was an extremely busy end-of-the-month.


I have been working as a digital artist for a little while, and I also have an interest in physics (and I find chaos theory a fascinating subject) -- Β so yes I am familiar with the concept of fractals, and fractal art, although I can't say a whole lot about it.Β 


I came across your picture while researching images for a blog post here: amazingstoriesmag.com/2013/11/…

(I hope it is ok with you to feature your images. I used to ask everyone for permission, but lately I've had trouble meeting my deadlines, so I've given up on that good practise - but then in nearly a year of blogging, I only once had to remove an image because of a copyright issue. Of course I will do so if it is a problem with yours)


I notice that a substantial percentage of the images I have featured are by artists from Sweden (your's, and another person's) - is this something that's particularly strong in your country? (I have spent some time working - and holidaying - in Sweden in the 90's and early 00's, and have quite a few good friends in Stockholm and MalmΓΆ.)


So, anyway -- good to meet you here on DA!

FractalMonster In reply to Starsong-Studio [2013-12-03 12:01:23 +0000 UTC]

No probs, it happens that I put that question twice due to the lack of overview of the messages on dA

Then you may appreciate my Chaotic series of fractal articles as well as most of my journals like,

Which spots belong to the M set?
About iterations and basic color routines

My fractals are published under Creative Common Licence, so non commercial use are quite OK, if the user links back to me and the original. In fact I'll be quite honored if they are used like in the site you linked into

Ooh, really .wow: I don't think the interest of fractals are greater in Sweden than on most other counties, at least I think so Β one of them I met be a chance Β the summer 2012 and got tips of Β this exhibition

thank you

that should have been "I can't say I know a whole lot about it."

Always proofread your posts. Yeah.
