OMFG - I love this so much. I remember checking out books on minerals from the library with similar illustrations. I loved looking at all the colors and shapes. Too bad I lived in one of the least interesting geological areas… :frowning: Though there were some cool things if you knew were to look.

Someone should use those to make portraits (like Steve Ballmer using Blue Screens of Death).

I’m a HUGE fan of his! He always walks you through all the steps he takes to create his end-product. So complicated and nerdy and they end up as wonderful art/graphic design! He’s how I discovered Nodebox which is fun to use just for FUN!
