Wow! How Giger-esque.

This one is actually very similar to the original.

I have a half-sleeve of Haeckel's taxonomic sketches. They are so incredibly beautiful!

Another Julia! Funny, first thing this Julia thought was "Wow - those designs would make beautiful tattoos!" And here you are, already having these inked.
I love his bird sketch, especially, in the link. :-)

Bonjour,
J'aimes beaucoup les objets fractals. Personnellement, j'ai développé une théorie mathématique de la conscience reliant la relativité(Lagrangien) et la physique quantique(Hamiltonien).
Ceci m'a permis de relier l'Art-Sciences-Maths.
