School is the enemy of art.

Sun Oct 22, 2006, 2:32 AM
Or at least the time required to actually make the stuff. ;)

I've been bogged down in school nonstop for the past bobonlyknowshowlong. I finally went back to school right after I started posting here and was taking accelerated half-semester courses that ate my life and fulfilled most of my remaining IGETC requirements at the same time. The only stuff I have left to do for it are my math (which I will have fulfilled at the end of this semester) and English (which I have been avoiding because I HATE being told what to write). Unfortunately for my non-school life, I've completely lost my mind and changed my major to physics, so I'm going to be stuck at the community college for another year and a half getting THOSE requirements taken care of. Lots more math for me. Not that I mind. I'm finding that the more advanced the math becomes the more fun it is for me.

Anyway, I'm finally getting back into my art because I need something to do that will unwind me on the weekends, let me flex my creative muscles and relax the rest of me. Video games used to do this for me, especially City of Heroes, but I'm finding they're doing it for me less and less. I can feel my creative muscles starting to atrophy, and that's really NOT a good thing for someone who wants to go into physics. So here I am. I will definitely be posting more than I have been. Not that that'll be hard, considering how often I HAVEN'T been posting.

I'm finally getting a grasp of how Apophysis works and am starting to really play with the variations. Once I get a hold on those I'll start messing with those funky triangles.

Oh, and in case any of you haven't yet, check out my genius big sister DragonWinter's gallery. All of her work is wonderful, but her fractals are absolutely brilliant. Check her out!

At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding.
