Ripple Compounded

Using the Power of Fractal art I shall attemp too force SCIENCE into the brains of all those who dare enter my gallery :evillaugh:

So beware!! since now the innocent looking fluffy fractal may just teach you something (Non-fractals can be educational too)

Newest

Sure RECENTLY I've made alot of fractals, but photoshop was my first joy, and I still love it. So look for my other, non-fractal works too. Color is the most importan thing to me, so almost everything I make has bright noticable colors. But I also do photomanipulations, and I also play with black and white contrasts. Hopefully one day I'm have more. (Its organized in folders, so don't worry, you don't have to search 500+ deviations)

ROCKS!!!! and other thingys

  • Mood: Contempt
  • Listening to: X-Ray Dog
  • Reading: Textbooks
  • Watching: My Imagination (It has 7 channels, in HD)
  • Playing: Pet society (on Facebook)
  • Eating: The gummies return!!!
  • Drinking: Water.... yes I'm that dull
Last time I posted a journal I got talked to (mostly becasue I begged) and now I don't feel as lonely :D :D :D (kinda) the last while has been frustrating with the university work load, and not havin photoshop as a fun distraction is frustrating. Since my last journal i had 3 mid terms and now I'm writing a paper about why the rocks in Vermont and New York are super awesome.... which would be fun... if it wasn't 20 pages and 20% of my grade.... So thats what I'm doing now and it is extrememyl dull, spending the whole day infront of the computer typing and reading my absolutly awful field note.

I realize that me and field trips don't mix well if I have to take notes. I get all hyper and start writing absolute geological garbage in my book that is only semi-relevant to what I NEED to know. Like "oldest reefs EVA" "magic reefs above crossbeds" "Dolomitization killed the fossils" "Super fault" "Graptolites died" and "Big fishy!!!" and "Magic Fossil Tree Feilds"....

Its just silly and on top of all that my hand writing is near impossible to read. So I've writen 6 of my 20 pages so far and it s due on wednesday.... *sigh*

Either way, the big news... ROCKS!!!! Yes... I have a problem... I can't stop buying rocks. Last week there was a rock sale in the Geology museum on campus and I went every day to buy stuff. The first day was the biggest day.. I spent $96 (Canadian) on some fun stuff like a Jurrasic sand dollar, a banded iron, some magnetite crystals, a peice of a kimberlite (diamond ore), pumice (floatable volcanic glass) and a clump of sulpher. Then I went back the next day ans spent $60 on a hexagonal ruby, some funky yellow cubic mineral called wulfenite, and some brachiopods.... but then I went back AGAIN and spent $80 on some native copper, a staulite (cross shaped crystal) and som funky green rocks.

I don't know why but I just can't stop spending money on them, I love them all so much that I just need more. Now I'm poor again but it doesn't mater since I don't use money for anything else anyway.

DA stuff.... well as I've said over and over... photoshop is dead. I've been taking this as a chance to get better with apo, but I'm short on success right now. I a just not impressed by what is comming out and recenty a few people have faved alot of the really old stuff in my galleryand I realize THATS what I want to make. Back then when I knew nothing about apo I made random fractals that looked more like abstract art than anything, but now that I have some mastery of the program I'm making things that look like objects and its klling my brain... I don't want every single fractal I mke to have a spiral and a sphere (as classically attractive as those are) it all statrs to look like space too me and I don't want that.

As a result I'm trying altering and playing with some random batches again in an attempt to bring back my ability to make some of my old favs like [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] yup, I no longer know how to make things like these so I'm going to "re-learn" everything I once knew

Wish me luck, lol

Journal History

deviantID

I like making thingys. Its a great way to pass time when its free. I only started when I started university in Canada in September 2007, since I got bored easily. I'm probably a little bit crazy :p but it just helps the creative process.

I collect rocks, and do random research into things like Feng Shui and Greek Mytology. Alot of the time my titles for deviations are directly after things I liked or remembered from these things. Here I've tried a good few different things. Like Photoshop, fractals and even a little photography (very little).

Photoshop is probably my favorite tool, since what I make has all my effort in it. Even now, when I finish a fractal, or take a photo, it doesn't feel complete, so a bit of photoshop is just what I need to satisfy me.

Because my art is a product of bordom, its is slightly seasonal. Last summer, between May and August I only made about 12 items, then suddenly in September I made over 40. So I might disappear kinda over summer, or christmas holidays.
