Fractal Flames are awesome and colorful abstract designs!
If you've never seen a Fractal Flame before, then you're in for a real treat. These visual delights can take anywhere from a few minutes to design to hours and hours and even many days to completely finish.
Computer design is not like taking out a canvas and splashing paint of some kind on it and them blending it together to get a finished product.
Computer design takes powerful computers with very expensive software sometimes and if you're lucky free ones that are capable of pushing the limits of visual boundaries.
I probably spend more time making mistakes than making visual art that is perfect or at least satisfactory. It's again, not like canvas. You can delete it , yes; but because of the subtleties of any visual design you can spend hours and days just working with the color combinations alone until you find one that tickles your fancy and can bring life to the canvas of your computer screen and hopefully later to an actual canvas via gieckly painting.

Probably very few people, even artists realize how much work goes into creating a piece like the one above. So much trial and error sometimes it actuallly gets you wanting to pack up your bags and move to the South Pole with Santa.
But actually, what's so cool about this art form is that once you grasp the principals of fractal flames, then you can create designs that are fractal flames without having to use software that creates only that.
In nature fractal flames exist in the form of snowflakes, artichokes, tree leaves, mountain ranges, desert blossoms and so on and on.
Mankind has come to create some of the finest fractal designs itself in the form of the geodesic dome which has repeating octagonal shapes as well as beautiful temples and other structures of note.
In this section of the store you will find Fractal Flames that are pure and untouched, as well as others which I have tweaked extensively in order to bring out their shapes and emphasize something I liked in them, but which did not exist in the original flame itself.
Enjoy your journey through my Fractal Flames.
I know I did.
