Early Influences #4

This time, I went all the way back to before I even started making fractals at all. Those of you who have known me for long enough ( or who have seen me having trouble with the chat connection) will know that I have an old photography account: Slightly-Mad. I initially started making fractals when using that account as well, and decided to split accounts when I realized I was pumping out too many fractals for my (handful of) photography watchers over there, which resulted in esintu. I was looking through my favorites over at Slightly-Mad today, which brought back some memories. 

I would like to feature two people that have supported me at the very beginning of my fractal art 'career', and with whom I interacted the most as I was just starting out; prplflwr20 and hyruwen. If I'm talking about early influences, it would be unfair to omit them since their galleries were two of the fractal galleries I visited the most before even building a proper fractal portfolio myself. They were two of my earliest watchers too, and support early on is most valuable for an upcoming artist. So here's thanks to both, and a tribute feature
