Please make sure you view it at close-up resolution (400 x 400 section) as the actual 'pattern' changes slightly at different resolutions. All feedback on images in our fractal art gallery is welcome.]]> Sun, 7 Mar 2010 16:59:18 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=37 Retro #3 Stripes – I haven’t seen many of them but this is definitely an Art Deco fractal. What an image! Be sure to check out the 400 x 400 close up of this item. I have used the word item on purpose because I can't help but feel the depth and shape of this fractal is more like a fractal sculpture than a fractal picture. There are more retro fractals in the pipeline.]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:01:02 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=34 Sub Zero – I was shocked by the time I had finished this image, for me it looked almost like a fractal photograph showing amazing detail and perspective. Whether you see frozen Antarctic pipelines, giant folds of snow or a close up of a cooling system you can definitively feel the ultra cool and clean vibe. You can tell it is sub zero!]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:37:32 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=31 Power Surge - There is such beauty in the classic Mandelbrot Set. Rendered in greyscale with 'Log' smoothing there can be few fractal wallpapers as 'electrifying' as this one. This literally is a powerful image. ]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:01:50 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=30 This fractal design started life (with some others published here) in the early 1990’s. I decided to rework them with ultrafractal and I consider the pleasing results as 'pearls of wisdom'.]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:45:49 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=29 Colony – Sometime I plan to get around to creating a bunch fractal planets, this fractal image will definitely have a place there. I am not exactly sure what has colonised the centre rib perhaps you can take a look at the close up version and tell me! A very striking piece of fractal art.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:56:46 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=28 Vortex #1 - This fractal image could sit quite comfortably in a modern art gallery, it doesn’t look particularly fractal like (you could say that about many of my pieces, but it is certainly very true of this one).

The view is from the edge of a double function Julia with high decomp colouring, the feeling of movement is achieved by using three layers as crosswinds. ]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:51:11 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=22 This beautiful fractal image was nestling deep within the Mandelbrot set, a virtual pearl as pretty as any in real life.]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:44:13 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=21 Newtonian Peacock - This intricate Newton fractal is formed with an exponent of -18 and a dash of 'Triangle Inequality Average' inside colouring. Be sure to check the close up of the 'feathers' tips to see all the fine detail in an image that makes a great fractal background for any computer desktop.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:38:49 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=20 Cabaret Shadow - This is one of several fractal gallery favourites of mine. Another minimalist offering that is discovered by a technique I often us which is to zoom out rather than in to a Fractal. Vibrant colouring counterbalances the simplicity. It makes a stunning fractal print. ]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:50:57 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=19 Diamonds Are Forever – High-tech and beautiful are the words that come to mind when I see this fractal wallpaper. The blending of whites, silvers and blues coupled with the ever repeating fractal pattern is visually stunning. This limited edition fractal art has a very positive and uplifting feel which is ideal for desktop use.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:25:45 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=18 Ahead Of The Curve – This fractal artwork is a perfect example of beauty in simplicity. It is a rework of a 90's fractal which in truth looked very different, this then was the unexpected result of a parameter tweak on a double function Lambda Fractal. It is an image that looks incredibly clean and crisp as a screen background. ]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:15:10 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=17 Vac Frac – True Fractal Wallpaper in my opinion. Vac Frac has an industrial look similar to vacuum formed plastic tiles; an exceptionally 'shiny' material that could adorn the walls of any sci-fi film set. It is formed from two Mandelbrot layers each massively zoomed out. At the heart of each 'star' is an invisible Mandelbrot boundary. A good example of the fractal as modern art.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:00:17 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=16 Scratchula's Revenge – A fractal picture that succeeds because of its minimalism in both form and colour coupled with a highly complementary viewpoint.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:14:12 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=15 Love is a many tentacled thing. This fractal is the beginning of a series of explorations in to what promises to be a rich vein of fractal wallpaper gold. Start your collection now and stay tuned!]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:43:58 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=14 An exceptionally simple fractal background that's good looks comes from the sheen of an anodised aluminium effect created by the 'outside' colouring algorithm.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:48:36 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=13 Coralantium – A Julia fractal with fine folds on the edge frilling accented by a square root / Lyapunov colouring function. This fractal artwork looks very delicate and reminiscent of a coral structure.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:59:14 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=12 The Time Tunnel – A fn*z+z Fractal on full zoom out with a 64 decomp outside colouring. The subtle palette just sets it off. The hypnotic pattern reminds me of time travel scenes from many old Sci-Fi shows such as Dr. Who, wormholes from Star Trek and of course The Time Tunnel!]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:05:47 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=11 The Silk Sheet Blues – A sexy fractal from the north of England? Almost, the fractal type used here is a 'Barnsley1'. Welcome in any fractal gallery the subtlety of colouring and highlights create the feel of luscious, cool silken sheets. Place this fractal on your desktop and every time you clear the screen you will be totally relaxed!]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:13:46 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=10 King Mandelbrot 1st – I believe the title says an awful lot about this fractal image. The Mandelbrot is an iconic image probably the first that anyone will see when they stumble across the world of fractal artistry. Although often coloured wildly, here I have chosen to use a greyscale and added inside decomp to produce an excellent domed shading effect inside the boundary. Long live the King! ]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:10:46 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=8 Pastabulous – If you haven’t already taken a close up look at this piece of fractal art then do it now. The subtlety of the colouring isn’t obvious unless you view it at full resolution. Pastabuous is the first of a series of fractal desktop backgrounds where the primary consideration will be a colour gradient full of chalky pastels presented in a variety of settings.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:28:13 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=7 Nice Ice Baby – Freshly cut from the local fractal glacier this fractal image looks sharp and cool. This Mandelbrot fractal gains some of its beauty from the dynamic effects of using a Lyapunov function in the colouring algorithm.]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:45:16 +0000 http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp http://www.fractal.org.uk/index.asp?k=6 This fractal image has a real feeling of tension showing mercurial sun storms or perhaps the maelstrom that might take place at the edge of a singularity. A very unusual example of fractal art.]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:31:56 +0000
