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.
