The Beauty of CSS Design
www.fractalland.com - the images
Welcome to www.fractalland.com's image gallery. Here you will find links to all my image galleries, along with a few other links and resources related to fractals, although you will find more links and resources in the main page, this page is most dedicated to the links to the galleries. Enjoy your stay and have some fun!
how it works?
Use the menus at the left to navigate through the sections of fractalland.com. Clicking each of the galleries links opens the specific gallery initial page in a new window. The images are divided into colour categories based on their main colour, in 8 categories: Black and White (which also contains all my images done in Apophysis), Blue, Green, Metal (which contains images that resemble a metallic look), Red, Rainbow, Yellow and Fractint, which contains images done in Fractint. Some images don't have an exact "main" colour, so they were placed in the nearest category.
Each gallery page has 15 images. except the last page of each gallery which can contain less images. This can change as I'm still making changes on the page layout so it can vary but the galleries won't have more than 15 images, so they can load faster (I hope). When clicking the thumbnails, the bigger images will open in a new window (most of them, at least).
The pages are best seen in 1024 x 768, but you shouldn't have problems if using 800 x 600. Most of the images have a maximum size of 800 x 600, but a few are slightly bigger. As just about 15% of my visitors are now using 800 x 600 screen resolutions, I will be adding bigger images from time to time. It also looks slightly better in Mozilla than IE.
There is a version of this page in Portuguese, the link is at the bottom of the page (Há uma versão desta página em Português, o link está ao final desta página).
All the gallery updates and announcements relative to the site are posted in my Fractal Blog. Usually the newest images are posted in the last pages of each category. If you want to know which pages are the latest, go to the bottom of this page and see how many pages there are on each category, this can give you an idea about where the newest images are.
about the images and the links
Most of my images were done with UltraFractal. The images in the Fractint gallery were done with Fractint exclusively, but some of these images were imported into UltraFractal to make some small fixes (mostly regarding colour smoothness), and these "enhanced" images are posted in the UltraFractal galleries. As I've said, most of the images have a maximum size of 800 x 600, some are slightly bigger.
All the images have a watermark, which can (and will!) be removed if necessary, if you've asked me to use the image (except for wallpapers or screen savers which must retain the watermark). More information about image usage policies in the proper link in the main page.
I have a hotlink protection working, so if you try to link to any of the images in this site, you'll get a warning image instead. Don't use this method to post images to any other site, Usenet group, message board, weblogs or similars. It won't work. You still can right-click and save the images and sort of do what you want with them, but this is something which I don't have any control. Just remember that all these images are copyrighted material.
If you want to use any of my images anywhere else or in a commercial project, please ask for permission. I'm not selfish about my images (I have given an authorization to many people who have asked me first before using the images), but all these images are copyrighted material and a permission is a must before using them on any commercial project. If necessary, I can make new versions of almost any image without the watermarks and in almost any resolution (Apophysis images might have some limitations).
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at fractalland@Ggmail.com (remove the first G before "gmail" to get the actual address). This is not a clickable link, copy the address to your e-mail client. I'm sorry, but this is to prevent spamming.
how many images do I have?
Although this should be addressed in the F.A.Q. page, I'll be posting a somewhat accurate counting here from time to time. I quit announcing the total number of images daily in the blog when the number of images reached 1000 images, but a more or less accurate total updated maybe monthly will be posted here. So far, there are:
- 13 pages in the Black and White gallery, with a total of 225 images;
- 9 pages in the Blue gallery, with a total of 148 images;
- 8 pages in the Green gallery, with a total of 131 images;
- 7 pages in the Metal gallery, with a total of 110 images;
- 22 pages in the Rainbow gallery, with a total of 391 images;
- 12 pages in the Red gallery, with a total of 208 images;
- 8 pages in the Yellow gallery, with a total of 137 images;
The approximate total of images in the UltraFractal galleries is 1350 images (last counting done in 06-19-2004). This total does not include the Fractint images, which are about 500 images.
Whenever I reach 1500 images, I'll do some "cleaning" in the galleries. I'll let just the images that I like the most (or that I found to be the most popular) available for viewing in the galleries, but I'll probably create a "repository" for these older images.

- my
renderosity gallery
images posted at Renderosity.com, most of them can be seen here. - My very first exhibition
I have to find the right links to the specific exhibitions, but here you can find all the places and artists that are participating. - at the Lincoln Center
My latest exhibition, at the Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, New York. As the main link at MOCA is dead, I'll give an alternate link. This one is actually about the same exhibition, but when it happened in New Jersey. Here are some pictures of the reception at the Lincoln Center, and here are some pictures of the exhibition in New Jersey (my images are the 3rd, 5th & 6th). - the fractalland's zazzle store
I might be adding some images there, but I prefer that if you want to buy prints, that you contact me directly (read more about it in the last box). - The Fractal Blog
this is not a weblog, this is just a place where I post the announcements of changes and updates of www.fractalland.com.
Resources:
- Occasionally I may have some prints ready for sale - framed or not, in a big size or not, printed in my photo printer (Canon BJC-8200) or using one of the many printing services available, and I'll try to be posting info about the availability of these here soon. I can also make arrangements if you are interested in a specific print of a specific image, then you should contact me for details.
I already have some spare prints done for the last exhibition I've participated, and if you are interested just send me an e-mail (check the main text at the right for the address). The images that have prints available are:
Woosh
Dot Hurricane
Circus
Most of the time, getting prints directly from me would be a better (cheaper!) choice than if I put an image for printing in one of these services like Zazzle or if I create an online store. If you're interested, contact me about it.
As an additional information, it is important to say that due to differences between how computer monitors and printers handle colour information (RGB vs CMYK), the prints may look slightly different than when they are viewed in your screen. These differences, however, can be minimal (mostly if your monitor is properly or at least to some extent calibrated), and it depends on the colours of the image - brighter reds for example, will never be printed *that* bright.
