#fractal

Hey there. I'm SBK. Here's my #introduction. I'm an aging hiki, LGBTQIA+ anarcho-syndicalist, AuDHD, FOSS enthusiast, and a chronic hobby-hopper. Most of my creative doings revolve around programming or making semi-abstract/surreal visual art in a variety of mediums. These days it's primarily monochrome ANSI art and freeform analog doodling, but I used to be quite enamored with 3D fractals. Aside from that I read a lot of intensely serious research/literature/etc., perform optimism-obliterating media analysis, write a lot of tech manuals, and attempt to survive long enough to spit in the eye of any passing giants. Sometimes I also distract myself with a lifelong love of solo-tabletop/videogame design, but I don't really engage with other entertainment media unless it's weird 80s/90s VHS finds. One exception would be Japanese variety shows and the お笑い comedy scene in general... of which I've been obsessed for decades and could write volumes on (warts and all). Some examples of my art are attached, but all of it (as well as links to any FOSS projects I'm messing with) ends up for perusal on my personal site at https://scanbluekey.neocities.org/ #ansi #fractal #drawing #indieweb

this is the back of one of my new Mandelbrot knit sweaters https://knityak.com/collections/antenna-crown in shades of blue. these ship with the code in Python to generate your specific spot on the Mandelbrot fractal with these same four colors and dithering. these are made with a new on demand manufacturer and are pixel native from my code: one pixel equals one knit stitch. #math #knit #computationallyfabulous #fractal #mathart #algorithmicart

A spectacular "marine cemetery" fossil cluster featuring a large uncoiled ammonite surrounded by smaller ammonites from the Provence region of France. The central large shell trapped and caused the collection of numerous smaller ammonite shells around it over time. Photo By: Nanette Theillaud.

i'm relaunching https://knityak.com soon. i have built new four color designs with bespoke dithering as sweaters, blankets, and kid sized sweaters. everything is still pixel native algorithmically generated and computationally fabulous. #mathart #knitwear #knit #math #fractal #knitting

Here's something fun to try on FreeDOS! Use Open Watcom FORTRAN77 with the graphics extensions to draw the #MandelbrotSet #fractal

https://ko-fi.com/s/beec861fdd Here it is! 68 high-res fractals in a variety of styles and colours, for the prettification of your desktops ^.^ Free or pay what you want! All rendered by me in JWildfire. #Fractal

Good morning! I was rendering some fractals last night, I've got 30 new ones - another 20 and I'll have enough for another fractal desktop wallpaper pack #fractal

Hi everyone! I've spent the last three days working nonstop to somehow port Fractal 14.1 to Android 12+. I forked the project specifically for this experiment. This is the original Fractal written in Rust with GTK4 and LibAdwaita. I ported it using cargo-ndk. It was quite challenging, but I finally got it working. It's definitely not without its quirks, but this is only the beginning.🚀 #fractal #matrix #libadwaita #gnome #gtk4 #rust #porting #Android

Look at my beauteous desktop! The image changes every few hours with a random image chosen from my fractal folder. I have four fractal desktop wallpaper packs available on Ko-Fi for the low low price of Free, yay! There are over 300 fractal images in total :O https://ko-fi.com/welshpixie/shop/fractal #Fractal #DesktopWallpaper

#Fractal 14.1 is now out, fixing a regression that prevented changing display names in some circumstances. Get it from #Flathub. https://discourse.gnome.org/t/fractal-14-1-released/36739 #Matrix #GNOME

Playing with a simple fractal star fish for today's #inkyDays drawing. The fog has started lightly drizzling. Lovely to walk through. Here's an in-progress shot. https://www.patreon.com/posts/149708310 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-February-2026-C0C61TG38P #ink #drawing #art #fractal #starfish #wip

Going with a variation on yesterday's fractal sea star pattern, in today's #inkyDays drawing. I also finished one piece on watercolor paper, and started a new one with this fractal sea star patter.

Just found a real Mandelbrot fractal happily flourishing in its natural habitat... 😁 #nature #mathematics #fractal #mandelbrot
