During the fall of 2009, a certain look dominated the runway - a piece of clothing that looks halfway from a scarf to an improvised hood. It was a move t...

I created Quetzalcoatl Blossom Variation 5 with various filtering, layering, and color enhancement effects in Photoshop, including among others the KPT filter, and fractal generator, "FraxPlorer". First named, Abstract Image 958, I later renamed it Quetzalcoatl Blossom Variation 5. Through further layering and color effects, I explored this basic image theme in 8 variations. When first gazing upon the finished image, my initial thought was of a large feathery headdress with a Quetzalcoatl style. However, it was more than just a headdress, for a comparable energy up-wells from within the Earth rising into and even infusing the headdress. So with this image I find myself easily imagining a figure in the lotus meditative position through which this energy blossoms from beneath, and fills the headdress.

Just like the other images in this series, I created Quetzalcoatl Blossom Variation 6 with various filtering, layering, and color enhancement effects in Photoshop, including among others the KPT filter, and fractal generator, "FraxPlorer".

Just like the rest of the series, Quetzalcoatl Blossom Variation 8 is presented here, complete with the digitally embossed Bill M. Tracer Studio logo signature seal, small as not to distract from the design, while decidedly present, showing authenticity.

As I've said in the last few recent posts, I decided to bring some of my older works forward and publish them for my audience here at Bubblews. "A Tear in the Space Time Continuum" is another example of an image that I created using the fractal generator software, Vchira, with post work in Photoshop. Just after creating it, I sat back, gazed at it, and the first thing that came to my mind was that it looked like a tear in the space/time continuum, so without any further thought, I decided to simply give it that title, "A Tear in the Space Time Continuum". Sometimes the titles I give my abstract pieces are almost like Rorschach tests. The first thing that I see in it becomes the title. If any of them were to be interested, psychologists would probably have a field day deconstructing my titles.

The United Nations helped launch a smartphone app Tuesday that allows users to "walk a mile in a refugee's shoes" by simulating the daily struggles of a fictional Rohingya Muslim who was forced to flee her home.
