Click image for larger view . . . . .


Here's what they said:

Can an old dog learn new tricks? Classic fractalist `TomWilcox proves the answer is yes with his new Mandelbulb 3D piece NINE. Our suggester states, "It reminds me of stacks of coffee cups and plates at a futuristic restaurant just waiting to be filled to the brim with steaming hot drinks. The colors are gorgeous and the lines are perfect within that dimension used in his fractal." (Suggested by ^wdwparksgal and Featured by ^DragonWinter)

Click here news.deviantart.com/article/10…
I have been overwhelmed at the outpouring of love and kindness from so many. Thank you. There are so many others so deserving of this incredible honor. In this age where everyone is quick to put young people down, I am amazed each and every day at the maturity, kindness and talent that they exhibit here on DeviantART. I have said over and over - DeviantART is the center of the art world today. Some may laugh but not those that have seen the astounding work here. We know it, don't we. To all of you, and yes to the "old people"  as well, I thank you for making my "DeviantART life" a true joy. It is true, I am 65 and hope to be submitting new work when I'm 95.

A special thanks to $chixOr chix0r.deviantart.com/ :hug:

Click image for larger view . . . . .


Here's what they said:

"Einstein's Map of the Universe" - Daily Deviation Feature
I bet if Albert Einstein would live today as an artist, he would be a master of Fractal Art. Our very own resident master of the mathematical arts, `TomWilcox, pays tribute to the old genius and delights us with the mind-boggling Einsteins Map of the Universe. So very complex in its composition, the patterns and color palette are simply breathtaking and will be the ultimate eye catcher on your wall! (Featured by $spinegrinder)

llllllllll October 28, 2005 - "The Heart Series" Poster Chosen as a Daily Deviation Feature and the Print of the Day.

Click image for larger view . . . . .


Here's what they said:

"The Heart Series" - Daily Deviation Feature
When browsing Fractal Art in our Prints Shop, you will come across a series of uniquely eye-catching hearts by our resident fractal scientist and mad professor `TomWilcox. Each of them has its very own appeal due to the complexity, shapes, immense color vibrancy and not to forget the warm fuzzy feeling they give, which makes it really hard to decide which one to pick. But Tom wouldn't be Tom if he didn't think of that. That's why he made The Heart Series, a composition of all 12 individual hearts in one astonishing poster.

llllllllll October 7, 2004 - "Hiroshima" Chosen as a Daily Deviation Feature.

Click image for larger view . . . . .


Here's what they said:

"HIROSHIMA" - Daily Deviation Feature
Many times when people view fractal art, or create fractal art, they think in sheer aesthetic terms. "Will this look good? Will it be pleasing to the eye?" But every now and then, someone comes along and changes the rules. *TomWilcox is one of those people. Hiroshima Combines brilliant visuals and color, he captures a theme that is not easy to tackle in any style. Take a moment to look and reflect on this piece, and then take a look at his whole gallery. It redefines what can be done with the genre.

llllllllll Artist Resource Site - Atomic Bomb Project

Thanks to Joy Garnett for including my work "Hiroshima" on The Bomb Project site under "ARTISTS/WORKS, 21st c.". www.firstpulseprojects.net/bom…
