So do you, IIRC. ;-)
Regardless, I'm sure you'll agree that writing a thing yourself is often
much easier than trying to understand a large and complicated existing
codebase. (Especially if what you're trying to make works in a markedly
different way.) Mandelbrot generators are not exactly complex
contraptions...

Ah yes, the "icecream spiral". (So-called because its colours remind me
of various flavours of icecream. Yellow = vanilla, red = strawberry,
green = peppermint, blue = OMG, I'm going mad!) Also looks good on a
T-shirt.
<advert> Also, the image is rendered at 48 megapixels, so even if you
buy a poster that's 6 *feet* wide, it'll still print every tiny detail
at full 100dpi resolution. ;-) </advert> If I ever make enough sales,
maybe I can buy one of my posters to put on... a wall. LOL!

Ooo, you're hearing voices too? :-)

Ah, yes. The sharp spikey bits are due to the exponential behaviour of
the trigonometric sine function along the imaginary axis.
^ GEEK.

An excellent choice, sir. IMHO, the strong orange and yellow colours
really set off the whole thing.
[Sadly, I tried printing a T-shirt at home, and the orange came out as a
pale pink. (??!) It wasn't the same at all...]

True story: I printed a couple of T-shirts [at home, not through Zazzle]
and recently gave them to my grandma. (!!) So now she's walking around
with psychadelic fractals all over her. :-D

Mmm, Purple Weed. A standard Mandelbrot zoom. Multiple levels of Julia
detail yielding an amorphus, weed-like structure.

That one is the cover because there's no "focus point" anywhere - it's a
background pattern, so you can clip it and crop it and drop text over it
and it still looks cool.
When I designed the calendar, I basically just went through my image
collection and picked out all the best ones, not giving any particular
attention to ordering. (Altough I did slightly group similar shapes
together and try to pick contrasting colours for adjacent months.)
As it happens, March - Tatto #2 - does in fact turn out to be one of my
favourits. I can't begin to tell you how excellent this looks on a black
T-shirt...

Yep, I think the colors are the big reason of my choice.

July, Feb, Back; in that order. Actually I could do with a calendar and...
how much?! Can you at least specify UK holidays and events?

There are probably people around here who are so familiar with the
Mandelbrot set that they could find the center point and scale of many
of these images in two or three test renders, just from viewing the image.
