New Design and Award

This new Kaleidoscope image, that I named Sea Flower, was chosen as a feature for the week at RedBubble. It was derived from the image seen below.

Friday, January 14, 2011

I was just informed this morning that our image of 'Cretaceous Raptor' [on the left here] is among the beautiful images that were selected to appear on the 'Front Page' of RedBubble. This is pretty prestigious since it is seen world-wide.

This is a capture of the Front Page called 'Art of Life',here ------>

Color Wheel Magic

Princess Cushion-The diatom Odontella aurita

This particular image is ruled by the Pantone Color Wheel. I was puzzling over what colors to use, and I eventually chose these which are complimentary colors on the Color Wheel.

The New Year - 2011

K Brevis- digital colorization of a [dionflagellate]

Knitted is Actinoptychus senarius [diatom]

Leggs is Chaetoceros peruvianus [diatom]

These colorized images have not appeared before, but I thought it would be interesting to show them because of the diversity of shapes and form. These were completed about two years ago.
