Digital Art / Fractal Art

Ultrafractal 4.04

At long last, something worth showing....I think! lol Another IFS Barnsley+jock III composition. I'm sorta jazzed about this one as it's the closest I've been able to come to the awesome stUF Joe Presley creates ("joefraq" at Rendo) and some of Jock Cooper's ("jockc") early works with this formula that have always interested me.

It gets its title from a book by Ayn Rand that I started to read but never finished. I think it was some sort of pro-capitalism/business story. Anyhow, the vibe I got was of a bustling seaport and so the name stuck.

BTW - the MOCA gallery was awesome. Nicer than the pix at the website, the art was bigger, and the show was much more heavily attended than I'd expected. Don Archer is a real gem of a guy and I even met some NYC fractallists and art biz/critique types. And the big apple was, as I'd remembered, absolutely ELECTRIC! Love that town.

Thanks for stopping by, y'all - c-ya!
Rick

It really looks like urban graffiti on a brick wall to me.

Rykk,

Since I saw one of your earlier works I've used IFS Barnsley+jock III almost exclusively. I can get a huge variation in results and it continues to amaze me.
Your images are great and obviously (if you look) my approach must be different as my images differ greatly from yours.
Terrific work.
