The rich trove of artist Philip Northover's Fractal Art
Among unexpected gems are his fractal interpretation of the Bible and an intriguing poem (The Iterations of the Cambridge False Teeth Fractal Journal Prose).

I've always been obsessed with fractals - something about them just fascinates me (so do Mobius Strips, too). When I was a little kid, my Dad bought us a computer - a Dragon 32 - and he used to spend time writing little programs which would generate different fractals (which were pretty useless, obviously, because the tiny amount of pixels the program could put on the screen wasn't really sufficient for any sort of complexity). They were in black and white too, so not really very beautiful, either. I keep meaning to write myself some fractal generators, to be honest, but never get round to it.
