Do you know? The world is full of patterns and designs. If you have seen one, it leads to others, you can vary them, play with them, ...BIOBorn in December 1, 1963, Germany. Studied mathematics and physics in Heidelberg (lost my heart there :-) I still live not too far from this wonderful town and enjoy visiting it as often as possible.
I started with Fractals in October 1999. It did not take long until I noticed that writing colourings is my true fractal desire :-)
Inspired by Damien M. Jones, Mark Townsend, Edward M. Perry, Samuel Monnier, and others
I began to imitate their style. Being a software developer I finally found my own coding style in UF.
After a while I found some friends in the UF world whom I share my ideas and images and ... with.
They give me the impetus for creating new UF code. They show me what an artist can create with it :-)
And now? Now I look over all my pieces of code and try to reorganize them in a way that allows me
to create code with them more or less automatically :-)
Or I take a sheet of paper (!!!) and a pencil (!!!) and sketch some patterns and designs
and hope to find some time to transfer them into UF code.
But these patterns do not really fit into the fractals. Fractal processes distort them and
disturb the geometry. And thus I changed from making fractals to creating 2D geometric designs.
I still use my fractal program - because it can manage making images from mathematical code.
Who inspires me in the real world:
Paul Klee
Wassilij Kandinskij
Francis Bacon
Good old Single Island Malt (colour, scent, taste, warmth, ...)
Sometimes traffic signs or a new T Shirt design (please don't laugh (at least not too loud))
Water colour paintings
Exqusite Photos (Can you open this link to www.photosig.com?).
Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

Looks great! I love the texture and feel of this, like some kind of drawing. Very interesting spiral, hope it doesn't have to use the sticks!

I love the way you use texture Andreas. There's always plenty of it yet its never overdone ( something i cant get the hang of ) I love your colour palette, the dark browns to the bright green. Dramatic shapes too, i like that a lot, well done :)

If I could make an image this beautiful , I would'nt be fearing anything either! Wonderful work!
creanum
Interesting artwork.....
whirlingfeather
Texture wild! Colors are very complimentary to one another. Like a subsiding tumultuous storm, sun returning and clouds parting!

I like the non-spiral part (left, upper, and down side) of the image most. Great textures and colors there.
gallimel
the texturing again is more than simply impressive.
pteb
Great natural material texture.
kansas
Very interesting image. The spiral looks happy.
gunsan
Looks like a blending of fractal and brushwork, great one!
logiloglu
impulsive and expressive picture. !!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!
Rykk
Incredible textures, Andreas and I kie the lines of the spiral. Excellent work!
midnightblue
I agree with redbeard. It has a hand drawn quality. I like the textures. The sticks remind me of some sort of support structure like a bridge or something. Nice work.
