Strange Zone #1
When I was a young boy I liked to read superhero comics. My favorite lesser known character was Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange is a movie star now, but back in the early sixties he did not even have his own book. He only got a few pages each month in the back of Strange Tales comics.
Often times Doctor Strange would find himself in a zone between dimensions. The artist, Steve Ditko (better known for Spider-Man) would depict this strange zone with doors to other worlds and dimensions positioned at weird angles, with flimsy bridges between them, surrounded by plenty of sparkly and misty random artefacts. With all of this done in bright artificial colors, like a psychedelic drug trip. If you are not familiar, check out these cbr.com pages: Character Origin and Ditko's Doctor Strange Art.
For me, today's image, and the rest of the Strange Zone series, comes close to recreating the childish awe I felt from those early Doctor Strange comics.
Brr #1
New Series, Brr. Lots of white, vaguely reminiscent of snowcapped mountains.
Again, mostly pictures without words. I am not going to try to explain how I generated these. If anyone is interested, send me a message or leave a comment.
As for meaning and emotions, I leave that to the viewer to decide. Personally, I enjoy winter mountain sports. So despite the messy chaotic nature of these images, I find them optimistic. I long for the winter to come and the snow to start falling.
Leave a comment on what you see.
Storm #12
The previous images in this series were mostly created a month ago. The final touches, the finishing was done a week ago. As was the selecting, sorting, ordering, to put them into a series.
Yesterday, as is often the case, I was preparing to move on, but instead revisited the storm theme. This one emphasizes fine parallel lines and curves, giving the vague feeling of brush strokes. These were present, to a much lesser degrree, in some of the other pieces in this series. So, a few more for this series. (And I can put off organizing the next for a few days.)Storm #4
I have stopped describing the algorithms that generate these. I feel every one of these images deserves some words. But what is there to say? When I try to explain something, I end up just stating the obvious. So what follows is mostly just pictures without words.
If you have any questions about anything, just ask in the comments. I will explain as best I can.
