Essential.
I’m currently browsing some old setups, this one is dated 2005/2006; I just polished the shape a little and rendered this final design.

Quite classic design: a spiral generated by a quad-fold branch plus a bit of recursive details.

“Calling it a teenage scene
And I have a dream,
Don’t know if I’ll be a star
I’m going to play guitar
I’ve seen this rocking cat
I want to be just like that
… …
We’ll be on our own
Billy Fury on the gramophone
Take you to the pictures and a dance
In my drainpipe pants
Check the mirror and the old DA
And “You can play in a day””
Mark Knopfler, We can get wild

Back to J-Juice setup.
I’m starting to polish and render some previously unexposed designs; this is the first one; just updated a little the shape and the color flow.

Back to swirls; again swirls; even more swirls!

This design is dated 2006 but it was never exposed before; I decided to smooth it a little and try a new rendering; it’s quite better now and it can deserve its own little place here. Hope you like it too!

“There’s a ringing of bells
a dunderhead’s curse
Fingers are pointing at you
And you take work in hell
and be glad it’ not worse
and you get to the back of the queue
Handcuffs and hunting knives
clang on the bars
Air pistols shoot out the lights
I’ve a whole Wailing Wall
of electric guitars
could shatter the windows
down Brick Lane tonight

If one of us dies, love
I think I’ll retire
see my boys and my beautiful girls
A Garden of Eden
no gates or barbed wire
who knows, maybe gates made of pearls
Well, if we go to heaven
and some say we don’t
but if there’s a reckoning day
please God, I’ll see you
and maybe I won’t
I’ve a bag packed to go either way”
Mark Knopfler, Heart full of holes

Back to some thoughts.

“These nine years passed away, however, before I had come to any determinate judgment respecting the difficulties which form matter of dispute among the learned, or had commenced to seek the principles of any philosophy more certain than the vulgar. And the examples of many men of the highest genius, who had, in former times, engaged in this inquiry, but, as appeared to me, without success, led me to imagine it to be a work of so much difficulty, that I would not perhaps have ventured on it so soon had I not heard it currently rumored that I had already completed the inquiry. I know not what were the grounds of this opinion; and, if my conversation contributed in any measure to its rise, this must have happened rather from my having confessed my Ignorance with greater freedom than those are accustomed to do who have studied a little, and expounded perhaps, the reasons that led me to doubt of many of those things that by others are esteemed certain, than from my having boasted of any system of philosophy.”
