Description
I just found out that my Fractal Wasp Troll image was one of the 25 selected for Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Exhibition 2011. www.fractalartcontests.com/201…He also won fractalforums.com:s annual fractal art contest 2011 for me: www.fractalforums.com/fractalf…
Almost scared myself when he popped out from the DOF in Photoshop... Do not dare to zoom any closer...
As I said before, this is a unrestrained crazy mix of bulbs and boxes but I guess this chaos is needed to create these kind of "real world" organic creatures.
FULL VIEW PLEASE!

The museum has also arranged with a number of natural fractals, a large Sierpinski pyramid, videos and more.

Basket of bread - 81x81 cm
Mathematicians framed by their own formulas - 135 x 108 cm
Quantum mechanic clockwork of the cosmic calendar - 108 x 108 cm
Perfectly framed Lacemaker - 80 x 60 cm

By the gods, you must spend so much time on this sorta thing.
About how long approx for each one?

Too much time
Hard to tell, rendering times are very different 1-8 hours, but then there is all time searching, and rendering 10 boring images I never put up before I get the right one... I guess I use 12-20 hours for each submitted image.

I couldn't do that. Even if i had your immense skills at this, i'd get bored after half an hour. and i do.

Have you read The Inmortal (from "Aleph") of Jorge Luis Borges? The inmenseness of these pieces (this one and the others about cities) remembered me this tale, that is about a travel to a city of the inmortals.
Just only a bit:
"Este palacio es fábrica de los dioses, pensé primeramente. Exploré los inhabitados recintos y corregí: Los dioses que lo edificaron han muerto. Noté sus peculiaridades y dije: Los dioses que lo edificaron estaban locos. "
"This palace is a factory of the gods, i though first. I explored the uninhabited enclosures and corrected myself: The gods who built it have died. I noticed their peculiarities and said: The gods who built it were mad."
Thank you for all your awesome pictures. I would put an 
I am really amazed of the things that the humankind can express in his paintings and deviantart (and your pictures too) are a good example of that. Congratulations.

Thank you very much Alberto. Your description here sure gives me a reason to read Borges.
I know that "Aleph" was published in Swedish this year...
What fascinates me about your quote from the book is that I recognize the feeling I get when I explore a new fractal hybrid, I think we have found the factory of the mad gods.
Glad to hear you like my works!
