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. - Ian Anderson

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. - Ian Anderson

Next year's crop beneath an early sunset. - Ian Anderson

'Rings2-julian', 'Sierpinsk', 'Splits-elliptic' and 'Stained glass' completed. - Ian Anderson

'Disc-julian', 'Flipped disc', 'Gnarl' and 'IFS' completed. - Ian Anderson

A new blog at the 1stAngel Art Network to replace the old Sandbox/Jounal pages. Hot-off-the-press experimental work and musings. - Ian Anderson

'The psychedelic experience', 'Different spaces' and 'Surreal visions' completed. - Ian Anderson

Although dealing only with the basics, this is an intermediate level introduction to the original external rendering engine. - Ian Anderson

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 - Ian Anderson

Rings2-julians, crazy stained glass tiles and Julia sets. - Ian Anderson

Notice of re-vamp. - Ian Anderson

A showcase of, and links to, my 2010 calendars at Lulu: Abstracts Gnarls Fractal Foliage - Ian Anderson

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 - Ian Anderson

"Cursed be those upon whom the midnight-moon shadow of the tree shall fall." Spookiness for WTC Halloween. - Ian Anderson

Abstract. - Ian Anderson

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

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

Abstract spiral design rendered deliberately with slight grain. - Ian Anderson

Fire season - created especially to toast the first fire of the 09/10 winter. - Ian Anderson

Conchiglie with Mexican mince - the cocoa powder provides just a hint of bitterness. - Ian Anderson

Fusilli with curried tomato sauce - a most intriguing taste. - Ian Anderson

Tagliatelle with mushrooms and onions in rich gravy - Autumn comfort food. - Ian Anderson

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

Finally devoting some time to this fascinating style. - Ian Anderson

"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. - Ian Anderson

Farfalle with alfredo-style sauce - incredibly delicious and don't worry about a little grain from the nuts - it adds textural interest. - Ian Anderson

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 - Ian Anderson

Finally figured out this style! - Ian Anderson

Penne with braised leeks and toasted walnut sauce - smart enough for a special occasion. - Ian Anderson

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