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.

John

So not you then? ;-) [Since you failed to notice that one or two aren't 
even from the normal quadratic Mandelbrot set...]

Interesting. July is another one of the images I don't rate so highly 
myself. But apparently quite a few people like that one...

Wait until you add postage. >:-)

And, er, no. Apparently you can have US holidays or nothing... shame.

  No, but *fast* ones are.

  It's like raytracing: Creating a simple raytracer is very easy (I have
done that with POV-Ray's own SDL). However, making a *fast* raytracer is
very, very complicated.
