I created these because it pleases me to create them. Go ahead and download them, save them, give them to your friends, print them and hang them on a wall, whatever you want. "Property" is simply not a productive paradigm for art.

If you like these images and you do something special with them, I'd be glad if you could drop me an e-mail, though, as I like getting feedback. (Update: I rarely get around to writing emails any more -- But I do read everything you send me, eventually.) And of course you're allowed to donate to help with the hosting, if you'd like.

2005 has been a lot more artistically productive than the previous two years, not so much in the quantity of things produced, but in the effort spent on making any one image. "Reaction", which started out as a re-creation of a much earlier work, took about a month to tweak, fiddle, mess with - until it had just exactly the feel I was looking for (you can probably guess that this feel was inspired by H.R Giger...) And I'm still not sure that it can't be improved just a little more.

Both "Up and Down redux" and "Heaven 05" are re-visitations of earlier things with new eyes and improved capability. "Indhra" is actually an offshoot of the process that generated "Heaven 05", and it is definitely not finished yet.

On the other hand, time has been more scarce in this year and thus the real number of hours spent on fractals hasn't really gone up the way the sheer satisfaction and productivity of fractalling has.

"Enter Here" constitutes my first attempt at making something pretty with flam3. Lots of potential in that engine.
