Fern

I was interested in the unfolding of the ferns in our garden. Ferns display classic "fractal"
symmetry, but I didn't exploit that fact in this rendering.

Wave on the Beach

There's a rhythm of waves on the beach - that this animation doesn't really catch,
but it's a motif that I'd like to bring into these animations from time to time,
since wind is also a wave-like motion.

New Printer has arrived!

Yesterday a new, high quality printer, suitable for making reasonably sized art prints, arrived at
jhhl.net headquarters!
I'm testing it out with various formats or paper and quality settings, but it looks really good.
Some of my art schemes may come to fruition at last!

Venuses in Transit

These versions of Venus seem a bit more like fish in transit.

Dreamer

sometime in the 90s.

I'd almost forgotten about the edge fading pen.

Moire vs. blue patch

This short animation contrasts the fascination with moiré patterns and the antics of the black and blue shape flitting above it.

Cross Hatch

Vapor is capable of some delicate effects, like this cross hatching.

Vaporous Reality

This one is a little different:
A panorama turned into Quicktime VR format.
Click on the image and move the mouse around!
Shift zooms in, control zooms out.
If this doesn't work, well, you can try getting a fresh Quicktime plug-in from Apple.
I'm rather surprised more people aren't making QTVR pictures by hand instead of using photo panoramas.

Here also is the original, which is rather large.

Vapor Logo

This old Vapor logo is built by turning pixeld into shaded rectangles, using a Vapor Paint ARexx macro.

Pulses

These intestine-like things all have different timings between their keyframes, keeping them similar, but not in synch.
