My dear friends on DA! I just wanna say, come and visit the rather new account Mandelboy [link] . He has an outstanding gallery [link] of high quality, high resolution motives from (the border of) the Mandelbrot set. No filters are used, the motives are entirely naked (the starting point for the vast majority of fractal artists) He has REALLY an eye for the hidden treasures of the Mandelbrot set just waiting to be discovered

I think it’s a little bit pity that today most fractal artists seems to have “lost the view” of what’s really are to be found in the hidden depths of the Mandelbrot fractal and it’s relatives Also check out the news articles of banana-tree [link] and [link]

The fractal artist: What a richness of filters, orbit traps, and transformation routines etc, that can be applied on this spiral

The fractal traveler: What a richness of structures there are in the hidden depths of this fractal

BTW, Booth the fractal artists and the fractal travelers are needed for. However these days the latter seems to be very rare on the net Mandelboy is definitely one of them
