Sick and miserable

I've somehow managed to catch a cold, just in time for my mid-semester break. Oh joy! I have no idea how it happened, I went to sleep last night feeling fine, and then I woke up today with a terrible headache, sore throat and fever. I even dreamed that I had a headache! I also dreamed that I was making volcanic cupcakes out of sand and cinnamon while running up an endless escalator trying to steal my boyfriend's castle. Anyway, here's something random I slapped together in Ultra Fractal last night. I can't remember what formula I used and I'm too lazy to check, but I know I coloured it with Painter's Traps(tma.ufm).

Fascination Street

The first fractal of 2011 is rendered, yay! It didn't take me that long to make either, only a bit more than an hour I think. I had to look through Winamp to find a suitable title for it and I chose "Fascination Street", which is a The Cure song. I think it kinda fits ^^
The formula is KPK Moebius' Julia Barnsley and it only has four layers.

  
In other news, I'm finally starting to feel better. My throat is still a bit sore and I have some trouble talking, but at least it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm just glad I'm well enough to fractal again =D

Fractured Imagination

Somehow I've managed to catch a cold, and I don't like it. My throat and ears hurt and my head feels like my brain has been replaced with needles and cotton. Needless to say, I don't feel particularly artsy and creative. I opened Ultra Fractal 3-4 hours ago and tried to make a gnarl, but I didn't even manage to change the gradient before my brain decided it was time to take a break. Break of course means spending hours eating chocolate and watching shows about cats on Animal Planet. 

But even though I haven't been able to make any fractals today, I've still managed to do some stuff related to art. Despite not feeling well, I went to the city centre and bought a kneaded eraser, and last night I bought a really cheap graphics tablet online (it was on sale). I don't feel like buying a really fancy and expensive tablet yet, I want to wait a while and see if I enjoy digital painting as much as I used to first. I can't wait until it arrives though, I'm really excited and looking forward to trying it out. =D
