twisting and turning
Working on some fractal art developed from the Julia equation.
Nice twists and turns although when I zoom in, those jagged edges begin to appear.

fractal session
Result from last night's factal session. I love fractal flames! Different vibe from the standard Mandelbrots: ethereal, cosmic, and dreamy.
Fractals are the workings of the cosmos unfolding in the algorithmic dance of digital consciousness.

Welcome to my blog!
I'm an author, photographer, and musician. I write about music, photography, art, literature, and life after turning 50.
Samples of my music and sound effects.
My videos featuring music, photography, and fractal artwork.

After spending the weekend immersing myself in the best of the creative human spirit, coming back to the current “reality” was a real letdown.
I keep asking, why do we accept our current epidemic of nihilism and apathy? Why have we (collectively) given up? Why are we (collectively) set against progress, enthusiasm, and motivation?
I say collectively because while there are individuals out there fighting the good fight, it feels like the darkness is bigger.
I don’t know. In the immortal words of Principal Skinner, “Prove me wrong, kids, prove me wrong!”
In the meantime I cleaned and started learning another fractal program. I love mathematical art; it gives me structure to lean on by assuring me that there is some kind of underlying harmony and logic to the universe.

When making fractal art, I usually work with the standard Mandelbrot and Julia sets because they contain endless worlds.

A few years back some relatives had health emergencies. I’m thankful they lived in areas with adequate healthcare and shudder to think what would have happened otherwise.
As a way of coping, I turned to visual art. I had already started photography and then added fractal and geometric art practice, especially mandalas.
There’s something soothing in the lines and patterns, as if they hint that underneath the chaos, there is a structure.

What if the sun could shine in different colors?
Here’s the other music project I’ve been working on: a sampler of my songs with fractal artworks and poems, an experiment in trippy soundscapes and solar moods.
Side B explores the next part of the ROYGBIV color spectrum, ending in a song to mark this year’s eclipse.
This music project is related to a book I wrote also about suns and color. (This is a Kobo link; book is also available on Kindle and Apple Books.)

Making fractal zooms and the music for them has been my most recent jam.
As a kid, I took years of piano, didn’t like it much, but I’m reviving those skills because I love ambient and EDM.
Also didn’t care too much for math back then either, but because of fractals, I now have a better appreciate for it.
There are many roads when it comes to learning things.
