Scanning Electron Microscope

I wish I had one. It would take pictures like this, at least that's what I think it looks like. These are fractals that I generated using the Mandelbulb rendering software. The coolest thing about fractals is that the closer you look, the more you see. Makes you want to just dive in and keep zooming, which you can do until your computer's floating point arithmetic runs out of digits.

Digital Snowflakes

I've taken a challenge to make art every day in January. We're not required to finish something every day, which is good.  I have done a bit every day so far - even when we've been on the road. I'm sharing pictures today of some digital renderings I made of fractal equations. I thought they looked like snowflakes, so I colored them as such.  I'll post some of the other (traditional media) finishes from this week when I bother to get the scanner back on.
