I honestly couldn't resist sharing!
Chillwave aka Glo-fi
I found a new band I love!! Yes you guessed it ...MS MR.
Not only am I absolutely besotted with this band but I have discovered the genre from which they came and it's called Chillwave or also commonly known as glo-fi... too cool.
For more great Chillwave artists check out R.I.P Chillwave and if you liked the MS MR Bones video I posted yesterday then you're sure to like these guys too, Neon Indian.
more on Apophysis 2.09..
As I've mentioned in my earlier posts I've been getting back into playing around with fractals.
For those of you who are not familiar with the program, Apophysis 2.09 is an open source freeware program for generating and editing fractal flames. It allows one to edit and manipulate triangles to create amazing images. Sounds simple right? ...wrong.

Apophysis is a great program but in all honesty it takes months, if not years to master many of it's features. The results however are well worth the effort, so far I have been tinkering with it for almost 2 years and I have gotten better in my work but I still lack the technical ability of many artists in the field of fractal flame creation and manipulation. Karin Kuhlman, Stacy Reed, Claire Jones, Joel Faber and Carl Jones are just a few of the legends in the fractal community. For more info on Apophysis 2.09 check out the official site, plus download the tutorials and watch YouTube videos to get yourself started.
Apophysis 3D Hack
A little word of warning about the '3D hack' version; most anti-virus software will recognize the freeware as a Trojan. Don't be alarmed however because it's not a virus and will not harm your computer. I know this because I assumed that at first and vaulted the program immediately, then downloaded it again from another source and the same thing happened. I downloaded it a third time, this time I ran it, ignored the virus alert and afterwards I did a full scan of my computer and turned up with no results for Trojans... computer was completely virus-free. After a bit of research I found one small paragraph on a forum about certain anti-virus software, particularly AVG recognizing the program as a Trojan when it's totally fine to run.
Twisted Paint Daubs
The following fractal was created with tweaking some pre-generated triangles and changing a few values. It's simple but I quite like the 'paint streaks on canvas' effect. All that colour twisting together.
My daughter said she loved this one which was really nice to hear.
