Heya.. Welcome to my pages... Feel free to look around, drop a comment if something grabs your attention, and drop me a note if you have any questions about my work.

Thanks to all who have recently put me on watch, left a comment, or favorited one of my pieces. Your support is very welcomed and appreciated.

To those who are curious... My weapon of choice is Ultra Fractal. If you have any questions about the program, feel free to give me a yell and I will see what I can do to help. I am always happy to share how a piece was created.

My wife has joined me here on deviant art as well. Visit her at :iconsethralavode: if you crave even more fractal art. ;)



Well.. tax season is upon us... That means cash for most .. for me.. it means preparing tax returns and a very busy schedule. Oh.. can you hear the excitement... *pauses to let crickets to their thang*

I apologize for my absence over the past while. I have been around... just not very active. With a move just before christmas, and a very bad round of winter health, it has been hard to do much of anything other than work and sleep. I am in good spirits mind, so don't get too down bout it. Might slow me down.. but very little stops me. ;)

I won't be posting too many fractals over the next little while. I have picked up some screen capturing software and will be working to make some Ultra fractal tutorial videos for people to play with. Admittedly, I am having a bit of trouble with my mic's. No matter what I do (on any of my computers) I can't seem to get clear sound... any pointers would be appreciated. All of my recordings have heavy buzz or static no matter what settings I have the thing on. Needless to say this is very frustrating..

If you have any specific requests for videos... let me know and they will be included in the set.

Contests:
My next contest is coming up and official entries can be submitted starting April 1.
Theme: Rebirth, Growth, Change, Evolution... or similar derivatives. Be creative and explore whatever avenue of the theme you wish.
Here are the rules:
It must be a square image.
Extra credit will be given for presentation... Titles, borders etc.
Open to all fractal programs.
Entries, again, can be submitted starting April 1. Contest Deadline, End of June, midnight.
First prize, a 3 month sub. Second Prize, a 1 month sub. and Third will be featured in my journal.

We had a great turn out last time round, and I am hoping the less stringent rules might open the floor to more people this time around. Look forward to hearing from everyone.

Note me with any questions you may have. Have fun kiddies!

On a final note.. I haven't really been able to get back to everyone who has stopped by my pages these past few months. Sophquest hit me with a DD in the waning days of the year and I still haven't been able to get to those messages. I have read them, and I would like to thank everyone for your great comments. I will be making more like Tiers of morning when I can as everyone seemed to have enjoyed it. Thank you again for all the great comments and favorites.

I will be putting at least an hour a day towards DA, but unfortunately, it won't be enough to dent what is there. This is another one of the reasons I have decided to slow down posts.. as there is just so much to catch up on.. better to get to those first yes?

Anyway, I am drolling on... you guys have a great week. I have some snow to trudge through.

Cheers!
Chris.

Quite welcome.

Very deserving of the DD and a very imaginative piece. Surprised at how much emotion was captured.

Keep up the great work.

Miracles happen every second of our lives. You just have to be aware enough to see them.

Darn Kids! :) I keep learning from them and I thought it was supposed to be the other way around! :lol:

I hope you get you mic problems solved. An F16 is a pretty big noise to have to listen while trying to concentrate! Talk about an annoying fly. :O

Yeah... tried my mic's at various places... my one computer sounds like an f16 landing, so I thought that might be the problem... I am going to buy a new mic this weekend and see if it's just crappy microphones. Nothing more frustrating than seeing 12 year olds posting crystal clear sounding vids on youtube and not being able to make one myself :lol:

I was reading your journal. In it you said your sound system buzzed.. Of course my wicked sense of humor nudged me and told me to tell you to quit putting the mike next to the ';puter fan. I restrained myself admirably. :giggle:

You could make them like the old silent movies...make us read the instructions! :D

I'm honored that you thought enough of Stormy Afternoon [link] to add it to your favorites. Without your Landscape Tutorial I never would have been able to do it.
