BioMy Biography
For years people have been asking how I got started with fractals. Here is my response:
I began exploring fractals back in the early 1990s when a friend introduced them to me on his 386 computer. We would wait hours for a single 640x480 picture to render itself. It wasn't until 1994 that I was able to explore them using my own PC. I'd purchased a top of the line 486 class machine and spent the next six years creating fractal art. My friends and family suggested I sell my fractals as T-shirts and counted cross stitch patterns. After a couple years of research I started my T-shirt business. I prided myself on making high quality one-of-a-kind fractal T-shirts. Many of the ideas I have implemented through my web site have been copied by others. For years I was the first to make unique fractal T-shirts, fractals as counted cross stitch patterns, fractals as affordable two-hour videos, fractals for PC-Jigsaw Puzzles, etc. When I filed my first copyrighted works collection I had created 13,000 unique fractals! But the real explosion didn't happen until I upgraded to two faster PCs in 2000. Since 2000 I've averaged 10,000 new fractals per year. In 2006 I made 30,000 new fractals. On January 9th 2007 I started this web-based catalog.
Other Accomplishments: I have been a foster father for DeKalb County for 2.5 years. I was a care provider for handicapped infants at Changes. I went to DeKalb College to learn Radio/TV Broadcasting. After that I went to DeKalb Technical for two years learning to be a pressman (just for the fun of it.) In 1990 I began advocating for the civil and human rights of Georgia's Mentally Retarded (MR). From March of 2002 through September 2003 I was the sole care provider for my older MR brother. I stepped in to help him after a horrifying experience at his last service "provider" where he was abused physically and psychologically. While in my care I trained him for a freer life at Annandale Village. After caring for his needs I bought a home in Peachtree City. In 2006 I came back to the greater metropolitan area for two reasons. One was to help my mother after her knee surgery. The other was to seek gallery representation and sales for my fractal art.
