Seen here is a photo micrograph of a fungus that I found in National Geographic. It reminds me of the fractal art done by my brother-in-law . Fractals are graphic computer representations of complex mathematical formulas .
To see some examples of fractal art please visit his blog http://www.josekpaul.blogspot.com/ Look under categories on the right hand side and simply click on FRACTALS. They are truly amazing works of art.
He describes fractals as " shapes too irregular to be described by euclidean geometry, that follow certain rules such as self-similarity (ie, a smaller part of the shape will look like the whole). A lot of shapes in nature are fractal in nature (coastlines, patterns in broccoli, shape of a tree, etc.)"
I have two examples of fractal art hanging in my game room (next to the beer signs and Corvette memorabilia!!)
My brother in law is truly a talented artist and his site has examples of his sketches, watercolors and other examples of his work. I wish I was talented!!
