At long last and long overdue, another addition to my Journal! The past several months has seen me busy with creation of new images until the wee hours of the morning and answering visitors' comments as much as possible. These alone number in the thousands and very quietly also, I'll soon have 40,000 views of my deviations here at DevArt. It's all quite humbling and exciting at the same time and needless to say, I'll continue with the artwork and am taking steps to give people the opportunity to purchase my Prints. Stay tuned on that one...
In the meantime, I've garned a "following" of sorts with some three dozen Watchers who keep track of my creations and faithfully share their thoughts and comments about the latest pieces I post here. I hope they'll continue to contribute in this way as I do my best to come up with colorful and thought-provoking works for everyone to enjoy. I thank each and every one for their support!
As well, I want to thank those DevArt "Wiz Kids" who create the flames which I've used to make many, many images. The list of contributors in this respect is quite long but I've taken careful thought to mention their names to the image/images which I made using their flames. I will be posting a Journal entry in the near future to make mention of each one individually with links to their respective sites here at Deviant Art.
One thing which has not changed since my last entry is the feeling that in some peculiar fashion or manner, I am "decoding" a very intricate and complex database of fractal mathematics with the images I create. To me, the act of creating a fractal piece of artwork is as much Research and Exploration as it is--Creation, so to speak. It's all quite mesmerizing and incredibly wonderful. And I continue to "see" the heart of fractal equations as an intricate mathematical DNA helix, for lack of a better term. And on that note, I've been trying to think of new terms which might better reflect the kind of art I do.
In a way, I see myself as an archaeologist--one who sifts and digs and discovers amazing items and artifacts and presents these to the world for everyone to see. And almost laughing, the notion of Indiana Jones comes to mind as well--with the famous hat but not the whip.
So, all in all, I'm having a lot of fun doing what I do with Fractal/Abstract Art. But the downside to this is having "discovered" many of my pieces on other websites. Hmmm...Indiana Jones had that problem also, didn't he? Well, I'll be taking necessary steps to have these pirate sites remove my artworks. I'm not the only artist from DevArt who has run into this problem but we'll just have to deal with unscrupulous individuals as best we can. And that is that.
And all said and done, I will end this Journal entry with a heart-felt "Thank you!" to all of those people who have taken the time to message me with their words of encouragement and support. Until next time...take care!
