The nourishment which beauty gives to the soul is essential for the development of Renaissance Personhood. This beauty is pursued through the arts, and requires the pursuit of only the most excellent and uplifting expressions. Only to the extent that the arts awaken the awareness of human suffering and thus the burning desire to alleviate it, may this rule be broken. All forms of art that seek to debase both art and human dignity are inimical to the development of the spirit.

These images were made by taking some of my photographs and fractals, and processing them with Paint Shop Pro filters to get unusual effects. Because of the special effects, some image files are significantly larger than my photographs. Some of these images have been used to make linkware bordered backgrounds (free for a link) which are available in my Clipart section.
