◲ Abstract Fractal Original Artwork ◲

[shad0x]

Hello everyone!

I've been a member of Cryptocointalk for over a year and am now also joining up here at BCT! You can see my original thread here: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/3495-use-your-coins-to-buy-original-art/ .

My artwork is known as fractal art. Put in a nutshell, it is art made from math. I've been creating fractal art for a little over 10 years now and am part of an art marketing firm located in Greenwich CT / Los Angeles CA USA. My art has been shown in numerous galleries across the USA, installed in Germany and Italy, and is featured on the custom guitars of Ed Roman based in Las Vegas USA.

This is a great opportunity for you to get your hands on original, one-of-a-kind artwork. A huge advantage I have in working with a digital medium is that I can create custom sizes and use different mediums such as wood, aluminium, canvas, acrylic, tile and more so that your artwork is perfect for whatever location you desire.
 
Shipping is free to the US and you will need to contact me for a shipping quote to other countries. All original artwork comes signed and with a signed and dated COA for your records.

I've been accepting bitcoin as a payment method for the past 2 years and am very excited to be offering artwork here at the forums as well. You can learn more about my art and me as an artist at http://fineart.stanragets.com

The first piece of artwork I'd like to make available to everyone is a fractal piece called Cryptographic Cipher. Information about the piece follows the image.

Today I'm making available three pieces here: one One-of-a-kind large canvas, an open edition economical piece, and an ACEO. As always, I'm more than happy to answer any questions about the artwork.

Let's start with the most economical piece: the ACEO. ACEO's are a great way for a person to get started in collecting art. They are small and easily displayable in a number of different ways. Many people collect them and trade them like sports trading cards. All of my ACEO's are signed on the back and come with a hardshell top-loader for protection. The first piece I'm offering here on the forum is called Forever, and I only have a few copies left. Once it's gone, it's gone forever!

Artwork Title: Forever
ACEO: 10 total
Material: Archival Paper with Toploader
Signed: Yes
Size: Standard ACEO 3.5" x 2.5"
Shipping: Free to US. All other countries contact for quote.
Price: 0.04813 BTC (price may fluctuate based on market prices)


Next up is an open edition print of a very fun and vibrant 3D fractal piece I created specifically for the mining community. Open editions are less expensive because they have no limits to the amount produced. While I use a more economical process to produce these pieces, they are still of very high quality.

The final piece for today is a very special four-canvas one of a kind design. Should you purchase this piece, you will be the sole owner of the artwork. Ed Roman (high end guitar maker) has licensed a similar piece exclusively for his custom guitar designs.

Unfortunate I do not have the means to buy anything from you right now, but I would like to encourage you to continue: You do beautiful things!

By the way, any chance it is possible to sell some as screen-savers but for a lower price? They would need motion of some kind not to burn, I guess. I'd buy one of those in a sec.

Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

I've thought about doing some screensavers in the past. It's still on a to-do list, so perhaps I'll get something put together soon!

Beautiful art...I've always loved fractal art work... just wondering what program do you use to render these pieces and is it rendered with graphics cards or CPU only..... also what input do you supply to the program to start the fractal process.....that would make the Original??

Wow! Those are some great questions! I use a wide variety of programs, including Ferryman Fractal (it's now defunct and in Chinese), Incendia, Ultra Fractal, Apophysis, and more.

There are a few programs that allow me to utilize the gpu but most are CPU only.

I generally start all of my fractals from scratch. Just a blank screen. Then I add in different formulas and work from there. One program in particular, Structure Synth, allows me to write the code from the ground up and provides random seeds which truly make the artwork unique. Only if you can reproduce every random seed can anyone else create that piece, assuming they also have the code I wrote.

It's a very exciting and emerging field. I've watched for about 16 years and have been participating and teaching fractal art for the last 11. With the lessening costs of 3D printing, I'm anticipating even more applications to my artwork!

Special discount of 15% off all one of a kind pieces for today only. Send me a note of which piece you're interested in. Some of the one of a kind pieces will be removed from my website shortly to make room for new artwork. Any one-of-a-kind piece listed here or on my site http://fineart.stanragets.com is fair game for the discount.

Your artwork is beautiful. You are very talented.

They've got a unique complexity about them.

Wishing you luck with your project.

Thanks for your answer, and ever more thanks for having it on a to-do-list. But the more I look at these, I think I will go for a real piece, just need the funds. But sceen-savers would be a nice complement

[shad0x]

Sounds good!

I've been working very hard over the past few months to find a very good source for producing open edition pieces that are more economical than the one of kind, high end pieces. Finally found my source, and that's why I started posting here. I wanted to make sure everyone had an opportunity to pick up a piece of artwork if they wished.
