Open Hatch

As you know if you’ve been reading this blog, I’m a huge fan of these “Electric Sheep” images and the screensaver.  This morning I’ve started describing it in more detail at my Wiki page.

I’ve figured some basic ways to create my own original “children” Sheep by cross-breeding Sheep that someone else designed.  I’ve rendered them at a resolution to please virtually any computer “wallpaper” collector.  In the following two galleries, the link that says “open full image (click) ” is your friend

The first gallery is of the “parents” whose genes I crossed to create various children.  (Adobe Flash is required to view the galleries.)

The following gallery is of the “children” (original creations!) whom I thought were pretty.  (I killed the others.)  Some of these were found by panning, zooming, and scrolling through their loop animation with Apophysis.  Again the “open full image (click)” link is your friend.

I’d wait until I’ve added these to a page to market them as available for print on a huge poster (+ 2′ x 4′, like this one), but I haven’t the patience.  (I want to redesign that whole pick-a-sheep page as a blog page, anyway).  I’ve created some pretty things, and the world must know about it now!
