Work in Progress - Blackbox

Current 'work in progress' with a working title of "Black Box". There are a few other iterations of this with various degrees of blur added to the lines peeling away from the boxes.  This is a bit of a concept piece, working with fractals defining the shadows of the boxes instead of defining the more radiant parts of a piece.   I'm going to be trying, while I'm making an effort this year to branch out and grow more as an artist, to at least have something in progress, or something to show at the beginning of each month.  Feel free to yell at me if I slip.

Last Hope (working title)

Clawing upwards, beyond what he has wrought below; Mankind rises once again; dreaming of the stars.

Gift of the Now

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~ Gautama Buddha

I'm finally getting clear of some other projects / issues that have stopped me from working on the fractal art. This might get a later revision, I'd like it to be taller, but limitations of desktop background aspect ratios are what they are.

Somethings slumbering in the depths, waiting for the right conditions to hatch. Alive but unborn.  Waiting, watching.... Perhaps some challenge between alpha predators on the surface will give them cause to leave the nests?

I think I’ve managed to break past my block on this piece.  Some inspiration on this one from the Muto eggs in the 2016 Godzilla movie.   It’s vertical nature doesn’t lend it to a desktop background, but I’m looking forward to see how this turns out on metal.

Dragon Con

Just got back from Dragon Con and it went rather well.  8 out of the 12 pieces from this year found a buyer.  For those of you I got to meet in person, it was a grand and rather humbling experience.

I’ll update more later, for now... I rest.

Dragon Con and getting back to posting here.

The year has been a chaos of job insanity, parental fun.  (It really is fun though time consuming) health issues, and general stress.  I will be at dragon con this year.  There are a pair of new pieces being shown for the first time at the convention.  I’ll get this up to date when I get a chance and get back. We’re here at the attached space in the art gallery.   Hope to see some folks there.

Path to Trantor

@lethannaeda decided to do a bit of work with ‘All Roads...’ and ‘Star’s End’ and merged them together plus some other editing work.  (”It’s full of stars”) This is our first collaborative work with fractals.  Now we just need to reproduce this in print resolutions for DragonCon next year.

Home again, home again...

There were about two dozen people I was supposed to notify when I got back from DragonCon but I'm too danned tired.

It was a good and productive con. Made some new friends, ran into some old ones. Saw some nifty stuff, played some new games (and brought them home.)

For now, however, sleep. Blessed sleep.

DragonCon, day one. The bay is set up, met a lot of interesting people. I still feel like I'm standing among giants out here.

Fractal Art by Darryl Bordelon with themes of science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, and more. Professional gallery mounted metal originals as well as prints are available. Featured at the Dragon Con Art Show.

Ye gods, I have a really real website for this stuff now.   Thank you to @lethannaeda for getting this set up / kicking me until I got stuff set up.

Eventually we’ll have the store up and running there so if you’ve wanted one of the pieces in print (or on metal) keep an eye out there.

From the Ashes desktop background link

I made a posting fail and forgot to include the desktop background link for From the Ashes, so here it is: (link) Original fractal post here: (link)

From the Ashes

Sometimes you fall.  Some times your world turns to ashes around you.  While the burning, the loss, and the pain of it kills part of you, it does not mean the end.  Instead it just marks the turning point of the hero’s journey. 

This means it is time to settle the past. To leave ashes what must be let go.  Do not dwell on them. You can rise from the ruins of what was full of fire and new life.

“When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.” ~ Joseph Campbell

Getting this off the ground again...

I’m in the process of getting this off the ground again.  End of last year was trying, this year’s started off quite similarly.   I’ve managed to get off my backside and fix the bugs in my hacked up version of apophysis so it now runs under windows 10 again and can actually read the custom plugins I use.

So, a bit of a peak:

Someone had mentioned what would it look like if stars had souls and laid eggs... this kinda of popped out from it.  It’s taken a night or two to work out.  A proper rendering will be ready in about 12 hours.

[erroch]

Back in production

UPS’s purchased.  The rendering box should be back online tomorrow night at some point.  Expect new stuff soon.
