Using several KPT filters as well as other layering and filtering effects in Photoshop, I created this image in my Abstract Image series. First named Abstract Image 1086, I later renamed it "Mother's Cathedral Variation 6". One of my largest sets of image variations, these color variates number 10 in all. This piece of postmodern contemporary fractal abstract art is presented here at Bubblews in this vertically oriented or portrait aspect ratio, 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.

Have you ever wondered what it might look like as tiny bio-tech nanites or nano-robots do their job of making delicate genetic adjustments to cellular structures? The images of this 7 piece series may give us a clue. Imagine the central mass of the image as an abstraction of a cell nucleus, flanked above and below by a couple of these bio-tech nanites using articulated probing tools to reach into and manipulate DNA sequences. They could do micro DNA surgery correcting mutated sequences of cancer cells, transforming such cells back into healthy non-mutated cells. Nano-Cellular Adjustments Variation 4 is the forth color variation of this postmodern fractal image theme.

As has been the pattern of my last few posts, this postmodern contemporary abstract fractal art piece is another example of an older work of mine that I am now bringing forward and publishing for my Bubblews audience. In "Spirals Within Spirals" the same or at least similar patterns have a tendency to repeat, as is often found within fractal images. In this image we see spiral patterns within spiral patterns in an echoing display of fractal manifestation. I created this image with a combination of the programs XenoDream and Photoshop. The post work included creating the digital frame, and some filtering and layering effects, as well as adding my digital Bill M. Tracer Studio logo signature seal, small as not to distract from the design, while decidedly present, showing authenticity.

Often fractal patterns can be reminiscent of living creatures, actual or mythical. Here we see patterns evocative of Asian dragons writhing in fiery skies. I created this image with a combination of the programs Vchira and Photoshop.

Amazingly, this one is nudity free, or at least seemed so during a careful 9 minute and 53 minute examination that I repeated just to be careful, so I should be able to link to it. Again, we see the sculptural effects on the fire that consumes one of the temporary structures destroyed at the end of Burning Man, but we also see a little of the personal relationship some of the participants have with the event. I think that they might later regret destroying momentos of those they've lost, but at the time, they seem to view this as being a healing act. Why that would be, we're left to guess.

The visitor is provided with a list of buttons and no explanations. He is to do his own exploring. Each button releases a set of objects, each moving according to its own set of rules, that can, when a click is held, leave behind colored trails or make colored marks of a different sort. Mildy amusing, maybe more so if you care for abstract expressionism, which is the genre one tends to end up working in with this tool kit, almost inevitably.

Another interactive art piece. Holding down a right or left click, one finds that a ribbon of whiteness is left against the black background. "Don't you mean a white ribbon, Joseph?" Not exactly - the whitness, itself, is treated as a kind of liquid, that flows according to rules one is left to decipher. There seems to be some sort of extrapolation from what one draws - quick movement narrowing the ribbon, slow movement broadening it - as if the cursor were a brush that a white liquid was flowing off of - to what is seen as one releases the click, and the whiteness left behind starts to move of its own accord. Close forms seem to move to new locations more slowly than open ones, which snake across a screen on which opposite sites are identified - go off the top edge, and you come in from the bottom edge of the black box where the ribbons move.

A computer graphic with adjustable paramaters, said to illustrate the concept of the harmonics of a weighted string. The graphic display, itself, is poorly documented - we don't know what we are seeing, but we know that it can't be the chain, itself, as the movement is generally circular, not linear and largely screen filling, even for small perturbations. The pictures are, however, pretty, and this is a mildly enjoyable toy. Without further clarification, though, I can not, in good conscience, do as others have done and classify this as "science" or "physics" because no real learning is taking place.

Just because the federal authorities are wrong, that doesn't mean that they're wrong. Story about an artist whose media includes the use of harmless microorganisms (bacteria are not invariably pathogenic, contrary to some seem to imagine) who, having been mistaken for a bioterrorist by a few emergency medical technicians and FBI agents who had seen one too many episodes of 24, found that the agency's response to discovering that it was wrong was to try to find some charge, any charge that it could trump up, in order to cover its posterior.

Right click, holding the click draw the cursor across the screen, and the software creates a little rounded wedge shape. Release the click, and the wedge shape, formed, is instantly reflected along a few different lines to create the beginning of a snowflake like figure. Insert a few more strokes, and you can quickly and easily create a nice looking stylized snowflake that you can set to rotate in two or three simulated dimensions, in a mannermanner that is surprisingly attractive , given how little work you just did. One flaw is that if you'd like to save that moving image you just created, there's no way to do so; right clicking on the image, you don't save the snowflake, you save the .swf file you used to create the moving snowflake.

This project is an easy and smart way to recycle even the tiniest leftover material. by using one of our favorite sewing materials-fusible webbing-you can whip up a whole set of these no-sew envelopes in a flash. they're great places to store favorite documents, photos, or business cards, and can even be used as a special gift wrap.

The personal blog of an artist in training (Michelle Kinsey Bruns, according to her Youtrube profile) who works in stained glass, and promises to document her work in progress and flesh wounds. Hoping that she's joking about the wounds, or was - the most recent post on her blog is dated Dec.8, 2006.

In the northern part of Italy is the little town of Correggio, which gave its name to the painter whose works we are to study. His real name was Antonio Allegri, but in the sixteenth century a man would often be called by a nickname referring to some peculiarity, or to his birthplace. When Allegri went to Parma he was known as Antonio da Correggio, that is, Antonio from Correggio, and the name was then shortened to Correggio.

I put this video together to show you how I turned myself into a cartoon. I did this because I noticed some services/websites out there that offer to turn your pictures into a cartoon for a fee / price. So to show you just how easy (or difficult) it can be I recorded myself turning myself (and partner) into a cartoon.
