What's wrong with Daffy Duck?!? He's my favourite little black duck!

it is also a pity i never backed up my hard drive. i was intensely interested in producing patterns, and i made many hundred of them (and made drill in animations as well), but after about 3 years, i felt that my patterns were starting to look similar (in essence), so the intensity of my interest waned. most people (NT (for want of a better word)) lost interest in my patterns after they had seen only 2 or 3, and one person said "if you've seen one, you've seen them all", and that disillusioned me because i realized they were probably correct.
Well, that happens to many musical as well as visual artists. The challenge then becomes to find a way to evolve your art to the next level.

an idea that me and tammy had was to create a transparency (like a slide) that could be placed over a backlit surface (similar to how doctors display x-ray pictures) that could be viewed with the lights off.
That would certainly be more effective than any print. I can see them being used in professional settings to attract customers. Or one of your videos used for dental patients to watch. This sort of thing can make money in commercial applications. But for some people, like me for one, the hard part is taking the idea an turning it into a viable business. And then China steals it and mass produces it. Depressing.

here is an earlier picture i created which i titled "my world", and while it is not quickly masking of it's julian origin, it does show an icy world where the light of the universe only penetrates through patterned crevices in my sky and with only a few lakes of understanding that were not frozen solid.

This is my new favourite. I am probably biased by my favourite obsession - astrophysics/space. I love how the lakes seem to have the kinds of patterns that ice forms in real life.
Just awesome.
I like it too.
It looks like how you picture Pluto, or even earth itsself during the PreCambrian Ice Age.
