Hey ya-all, I spent some time today excavating ancient fossil fractals. I discovered evidence that the ancestors of people who are making the most awesome fractals today* were doing the same thing back in the Days-of-Old (more than 1 year ago!) Can you believe it ?

Way back in the before time, the early days of 2007 and earlier, fractal artists spent years, chiseling their beloved fractals out of stone, wood, plastic and glass. (And as I have recently been informed by TThealer, even dino-dung!) For months on end, they calculated complex mathematical formulas by counting beads on their abacus (all by moonlight, mind you) to determine the distances between the spiral elements. All of this was accomplished without the modern conveniences of fire, the wheel, running water, and the IPhone! From the depths of time, here are some moldy old relics from some of the greatest artists in the world. Well, at least In My (not so) Humble Opinion.

* There are many artist whom I admire that are not included here. These are just the images that I found today that I love so please forgive me if you are not included here but are still one of the greats.

My pageview contest was almost over before it started... It sure didn't last nearly as long as I thought it would. Sorry to those who never got a chance to play. Maybe I'll do something similar at 10K? Ya never know? Congratulations to the two winners who each received some fabulous prizes. They each got a three month subscription to Deviant Art and a feature here in my journal.

Winner number one is Tylar aka Ryuuiki, wolf lover and Yaoi writer extraordinaire.



Winner number two is Janet aka Pantherwitch4982, , a multi-talented fractal artist, photographer, poet and photomanipulator.



Please take a few minutes and browse the works of these two talented artists and make sure to visit their galleries for more in by feature section below.

My friend made me a great fracal gift. Check it out!

Well, I am creeping up on my 5000th pageview.. a bit sooner than I expected. So I am having a contest. For whoever gets the 5000th pageview, and sends me a screenshot, I will give a big feature in my journal and a 3 month subscription!!! (I've barely got enough left on my debit card to pull it off). If for some weird reason, two or more people somehow get it at the same time, I reserve the right to enie-meanie-miney-moe to pick one winner.

edit 0418081703 Hey folks contest is over.. We got two winners so I am gonna pay them both out. Congratulations to the winners!!!! and ,who both somehow managed to get 5000 at the same time! Sweet. Thanks to everyone here. The support and friendship I get from everyone can be overwhelming at times. I wish I could buy everyone a sub, but alas,, I am freaking poor. Please stop by to check out their features tomorrow and their awesome new subbies.

THIS BOX WILL EXPAND WITHOUT SCROLLING!
