I started initially with one image of a vase filled with flowers….4×4 inches. These were pieced together into an image 12×12 inches (approximately 9 images of various sizes. Then an image I took of wheat in Eastern Washington was woven into the image. Multiple color modifications, filters, etc. with this result.

This is my artwork showing what could possibly happen about one second after a proton particle collision if something is goes amiss at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. Theoretical ‘dark matter’ and ‘strangelets’ are released by the collider into our dimension, which then form a stable black hole right on the surface of the Earth, tearing up the fabric of time and space and sucking the Earth inside-out into oblivion. / / This artwork was made to accompany my article about the dangers of the new particle collider that have been very effectively glossed over by the scientist community directly involved with the project, as well as, others with a financial interest in the 8 billion dollar project. The article details many aspects of what the scientists are not telling you about. / / Please be sure to read my article that accompanies this artwork at the link found below. / / Be Afraid by Art4EartH / http://www.redbubble.com/people/art4earth/writing/1682509-be-afraid / / Oh… the artwork details… The background created from a PD image from NASA. The black hole forming is a fractal i made in Apophysis, and the exact center of the black hole is precisely over the CERN complex just outside of Geneva, Switzerland. Post-processing effects and the composite were done in Photoshop. This is another large artwork that is hard to see the details of over the web, as the original was made at 3600 pixels square at 300 pixels per inch. / / Enjoy each day as if it is your last, as with all the madness in our world these days… it could very well be! / / Peace & Love, / / Art 4 EartH

An expression of your love of our wonderous planet Earth. It was created from scratch in Photoshop, by first drawing up the heart as a vector graphic, and then using the vector graphic to create the masks and alpha channels used for the composite, gradients, and shading. The image comes from a public domain photo from NASA. / / This is a high-resolution transparency that will look great on any colored Tee. There is also a captioned version of this Tee as well, which you can see by clicking on the image or link below. / / Love Thy Mother – Captioned T-Shirt / /

“cellular life” / I like working with plants (& flowers) and find a way to see them as if it was the first time, again and again. Yet, getting a different vision and trying to illustrate it so others may see through my own eyes. Or at least, inspire them so they get their own vision of it. / this is one of the serie of 3 pictures from this plant. the visual representation is about the cellular life and atoms. / / copyrighted -> CC517-349CA-41506 / /

Nature sculpts both hard and smooth / From mountains high to woman’s breast / Her work does both entice and soothe / For eyes that gaze as though possessed / / She cares not of the critic’s word / Her art not made for some contest / Nor of what mortals preferred / Or what they think may be her best / / Her care is of function and form / As all her work truely attests / Her living art that does perform / On canvas that does never rest / / This painting was inspired by the ultimate sculptor, which is nature. Nature creates art that all other artists aspire to try and capture and mimic in their own creations. The concept was to combine two of the most magnificent forms of art that nature creates, that of the woman and that of nature herself. This is what nature would sculpt if nature did mixed media. / /

Pillars hewn from rock and stone / Pillars sprung from nature grown / Pillars found astride a throne / Pillars many, we have known / / A pillar points towards the sky / It’s straightened finger reaching high / While gravity it does defy / Such majesty it does imply / / This digital painting was inspired by the many forms of the pillar, both man-made and in nature. The pillar defies gravity and reaches up to the heavens. Pillars are symbolic of strength, power, endurance, integrity, longevity, greatness, and godliness. I felt that with all of these attributes the pillar deserved an artwork of it’s own. / /

Just like a moth drawn to a flame / The Phoenix bird does much the same / Infernal fire, itself does maim / With no one but itself to blame / / The fire sees the Phoenix slain / Burns till only ashes remain / Then from it’s ashes does attain / A brand new life, reborn again / / The lore told by those old and wise / Say Phoenix bird does symbolize / Rebirth from all that does demise / To live again they do surmise / / This is a pure fractal artwork that was inspired by an abstract train of thought. I was thinking about how a moth is drawn to a flame to just go poof, which in turn made me think of the mythical and magical Phoenix bird that is found in almost all cultures across the globe dating back many centuries. This in turn made me think about how the Phoenix is representative of resurrection and healing in almost all of those cultures. This in turn made me think about how that is so representative of how people in America are feeling now with a new era of government about to begin with Obama as our new president. / / So I combined that train of thought into one artwork that you see here. If you look closely, you will see the Phoenix bird within the moth. I tried one that had a flame also, but I didn’t like it, as it took away from the delicacy of the details of the moth. / / Strange how an artists mind works, isn’t it! :) / / This fractal artwork was made in Apophysis. I recompiled this eight times until I got the parameters just right, so it would be crisp and smooth without having to post-process it in Photoshop. The original is 3600×2400 pixels at 300 pixels per inch and took 18 hours to render on a 3.2 Ghz PC with 4 MB of RAM. It was worth the wait and will print beautifully. / /

Wondrous chalice far from sight / Cradles sphere that does alight / To tempt all those it does invite / Yet only one will earn the right / / Sphere lets strongest winner through / Then other guests, sphere bids adieu / And new task does the sphere pursue / With winner splits herself in two / / From two to four, then four to eight / Unceasingly they propagate / And soon the chalice does inflate / With this new life they did create / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the wondrous vessel within a woman where the spark of life begins. No event in the entire cosmos can compare with that of the moment of conception. This is a tribute to both that moment of new life, and to the woman who gives so much of herself to facilitate that miracle. This was created in ChaosPro. The original is 6000×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in the ChaosPro gradient editor that comes bundled with ChaosPro. The only post-processing was adding the small starburst in Photoshop. / /

With hollow fangs and beady eyes / Vipers await, hid in disguise / They strike their prey, to prey’s surprise / The vipers venom, the prey’s demise / / Like politicians, seek to bleed / They care not from those whom they feed / Their only feeling, one of greed / Of whom they plan to soon succeed / / The viper winds it’s way alone / From jungles to a kingdom’s throne / Behaviors that we can’t condone / To none will they ever atone / / So when near vipers, please beware / Of sharpened fangs and beady stare / It’s you that may be their next fare / So watch your step with greatest care / / This fractal artwork was inspired while watching the news and seeing the latest politician, Rod Blagojevich (or should I call him Rod Sonofabitch) – Governor of the State of Illinois, being arrested for conspiracy to try and sell President Obama’s vacancy in the Senate. / / There have been so many crooks, and overall corruption, in the US government in the past decade, that all I can think of is of a pit full of poisonous vipers. This is a tribute to those scumbags, hoping that soon they will be biting each other. This was created in ChaosPro. The original is 6400×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in the ChaosPro gradient editor that comes bundled with ChaosPro. This is a pure fractal with no post-processing. / /

Eyes strain to see through day lit night / This moving force that blinds my sight / Not with the darkness, but that of white / Towards me drives with all it’s might / / Shrill whistle be it’s only sound / So loud it is, all others drowned / It’s voice embraces all that’s found / From tree top heights down to the ground / / White wasps that hurl themselves through space / They fly with fury, not with grace / Their frosted barbs sting at my face / Till soon my warmth has been displaced / / Blizzard is this creature’s name / It has no pride and has no shame / Try to defy and it will maim / So powerful that none can tame / / This fractal artwork was inspired by our weather this weekend in the Pacific Northwest. As I write this, we are having a winter storm that is the coldest in almost twenty years. Temperatures are dropping into the low teens, which is almost unheard of along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The artwork abstractly portrays what the blizzard looks like when you are facing into the wind and the snow is being driven horizontally towards your face. Brrrr… Good day to snuggle up inside and make some art! This was created in ChaosPro. The original is 6000×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in the ChaosPro gradient editor that comes bundled with ChaosPro. This is a pure fractal with no post-processing. / /

Grow outward first from window sill / Across the pane, they all do spill / With fractal plan they build with skill / Till frozen by the winter’s chill / / These fragile crystals made of ice / Across my window pane do slice / Each one so different, yet precise / Repeated patterns that entice / / So simple, yet so complex too / I often wondered how they grew / So watch I did, as to construe / What once I guessed, but now accrue / / This fractal artwork was inspired while watching the frost growing across my window. As I write this, I am hiding inside from the bitter cold of the lowest temperatures we have had in the Pacific Northwest coast in almost twenty years. I was noticing how the ice is forming on the window in a fractal pattern, so the artwork is my abstract portrayal of that natural process I am watching now. However… Mother Nature’s work on my window still has my artwork beat by a long shot! LOL / / This was created in ChaosPro. The original is 4800×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in the ChaosPro gradient editor that comes bundled with ChaosPro. This is a pure fractal with no post-processing. / /

A glow back lights my curtains / With a luminescent green / I look around uncertain / Not quite knowing what I’m seeing / / I creep towards my window / Seeking to find out light’s source / Part the curtains keeping head low / While my eyes follow light’s course / / I stare out in amazement / As I can’t believe my eyes / I see the pods they’ve sent / Vegetables are their disguise I scurry to the bedside / To awaken sleeping spouse / ‘What’s wrong?”she said, and I replied / “Aliens in my greenhouse!” I thought to phone for help / So I called the National Guard / They replied with laughing yelp / “We’re quite sure it’s only chard!” / / This fractal artwork was inspired while watching the classic sci-fi movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. I’m talking about the original black and white movie from 1956 with Kevin McCarthy. This artwork is a tribute to one of the best science fiction works to ever hit the silver screen. I first watched this movie as just a young boy, and after all these years and many remakes of the movie, the original is still the best. The artwork puts a little more modern spin on what the alien “pods” may look like. / / This was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The original is 4800×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in Apomap,a gradient editor commonly used with Apopyhsis. This artwork is difficult to see over the internet, so I have included a couple of detail cutaways below to better give a feeling for the artwork. / / / / / /

Built so the earth would touch the sky / Born from slaves sweat and stone supply / Four sides to one point upon high / A structure where dead kings would lie / / Looks like a square, four-sided cone / As pyramid this shape is known / And from it urban myths have grown / Of mystic powers to death postpone / / Powers confused with gauze and tape / Live not within a pyramid’s drape / This power lies in love not shape / For only love can death escape / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the urban legend of pyramid power. The urban legend states that anything kept beneath the footprint of a pyramid will be preserved much longer than it would under natural circumstances. The artwork combines this pyramid power with the greatest power of all, and that is the power of love. In other words, the power of love being strengthened and preserved by the power of the pyramid. Lost yet?... LOL. / / This was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The original is 4800×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in Apomap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apopyhsis. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / /

Black hole defined first as ‘micro’ / Found others like and soon did grow / And theories by those in the know / Now obsolete by this new foe / / Long reach of black hole’s gravity / Ensnare those in proximity / This cosmic born calamity / Pulls all into it’s cavity / / And gravity of all close sphere’s / They first collapse, then disappear / While black hole’s own is so severe / It’s guaranteed to persevere / / So what we knew, was proven wrong / It turns out micro holes are strong / We tread where we did not belong / And now become a black hole’s throng / / This fractal artwork was inspired after reading an abstract written by the scientists at CERN in Switzerland in regard to the safety procedures and reassurances that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will not pose any danger to humanity when they fire it up later this summer. They say that any micro black holes created by this particle accelerator will quickly evaporate if formed, this based on Stephen Hawkings theoretical equations about black holes. / / Yet, just what is a ‘micro’ black hole, as that is a relative term that applies to a size we have determined in our own dimension on our own little planet. I might also point out that they had a major failure at the LHC upon trying to fire it up on it’s original date in September 2008… and I mean major!!! / / It has also been observed in the cosmos, that black holes attract one another, then merge to become a larger, more powerful black hole… and this is not theory, as they have recorded these events in several different places in the part of the cosmos that is visible to us. The scientist at CERN also try and reassure us that we are safe because we are bombarded by micro black holes all around us every day… however that is strictly theory and has not been observed. / / We can only hope that the ignorance and arrogance of the scientists involved with the LHC project at CERN don’t create something far beyond their means to control why they attempt to cross into a realm that belongs to nature and creation itself. I guess we will all find out soon! / / The artwork portrays a small black hole forming near a planet. As the black holes own overwhelming gravity seizes the planet, it disrupts and collapses the gravitational field of the planet and also those of it’s moons. This elecro-magnetic flux disruption is a well observed fact right here on earth in just the electrical devices that we create, and the one in the artwork portrays that same property on a planetary scale. / / The original is 6000×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. It was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The gradient was created in ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. The fractal was created as a transparency and then used as a layer in Photoshop post-processing. The background gradient was created in Photoshop. The post processing was all done in Photoshop as well. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / / / /

Clouds are not spheres / Mountains are not cones / Coastlines are not circles / Bark is not smooth / Nor does lightning travel in a straight line – Benoît Mandelbrot, in his introduction to ‘The Fractal Geometry of Nature’ / / This fractal artwork was inspired by, and a tribute to, Benoît B. Mandelbrot. Benoît Mandelbrot is a Polish mathematician and is best known as the father of fractal geometry. In mathematics, the Mandelbrot set that is named after Benoît Mandelbrot, is a set of points in the complex plane, the boundary of which forms a fractal. In 1975, Mandelbrot coined the term fractal to describe these structures, and published his ideas in ‘Les objets fractals, forme, hasard et dimension’ (1975; an English translation ‘Fractals: Form, Chance and Dimension’ was published in 1977). / / Mandelbrot has been called a visionary. His informal and passionate style of writing and his emphasis on visual and geometric intuition (supported by the inclusion of numerous illustrations) made The Fractal Geometry of Nature accessible to non-specialists. The book sparked widespread popular interest in fractals and contributed to chaos theory and other fields of science and mathematics. / / He also emphasized the use of fractals as realistic and useful models of many “rough” phenomena in the real world. Natural fractals include the shapes of mountains, coastlines and river basins; the structures of plants, blood vessels and lungs; the clustering of galaxies; and Brownian motion. Fractals are found in human pursuits, such as music, painting, architecture, and stock market prices. Mandelbrot believed that fractals, far from being unnatural, were in many ways more intuitive and natural than the artificially smooth objects of traditional Euclidean geometry. / / Every time you enjoy one of the countless beautiful fractal artworks you see, you can give appreciation and thanks to Benoît Mandelbrot as well as the fractal artist, as without his life’s work we would not be viewing them at all. You can learn more about both Benoît Mandelbrot and the Mandelbrot set at the Wiki links I have provided below. Many thanks to Wiki for some of the information I have presented above. / / Benoît Mandelbrot / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beno%C3%AEt_Mandelbrot / / Mandelbrot set / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set / / This was created in Apophysis. The original is 4800×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The fractal that sits within the large square at the bottom of the artwork shows the basic Mandlebrot set fractal. The rest of the artwork was created with transformations that are subsets of the Mandlebrot set. / / The fractal was created as a transparency, and then layered over a gradient background that was created in Photoshop. The fractal gradient was created with ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. All of the post processing was done in Photoshop.The actual fractal has not been post processed at all, and is exactly as it was rendered. / / Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a few detail cutaways below. The cutaways are at 33% of the full-size artwork. / / / / / / / / Thank you, Benoît! ;) / /
