Hey everyone!

Just wanted to thank the person (or people) who bought not one but two prints of Hocus Pocus in the past three days. It was a pleasant surprise after a long-ish break from checking dA :D

Name Change

2 min read
Hi everyone!

Been a while since I wrote a journal. I missed Inspiration Stations of many amazing artists, silwenka and OutsideFate in particular come to mind. I also have loads of other features I wanted to do after my recent ventures into various abstract and surreal galleries. Hopefully I'll get to all of them eventually. Until then, you can have a look at my favorites - especially in the Photography, Traditional Art and Other Digital galleries.

I just wanted to say a few words about the name change in case anyone is wondering. I had picked up the name banana-tree in my mid teens, and as much as I still love Queen and the song that inspired the name (I'm Going Slightly Mad), it was time to switch to a more mature name. I wanted to be able to sign my username under my artwork and for it to make sense both online and offline, especially back in Turkey.

Anyway, you can still refer to me as banana tree or banana or nanners or whatnot if you'd like. I'm still getting used to the new name as well. Hopefully it will be an easy transition :)

Will be back soon with some features. Cheers!

Back to paying tribute to early influences. The previous features were;


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 :)

love1008 is actually a deviant I've found out about quite early on, when I was first starting out with apophysis. However, he must have somehow slipped out of my sight when I was changing accounts because I just had to re-discover him a couple weeks ago, also to find out that his art had become very popular over time. That fact became much more striking as I was looking at the numbers to feature his relatively underexposed and underrated art (had to dig in way deep into the gallery to find those). Nonetheless, here are five abstracts I found buried deep in his gallery that are worth more attention than what they've gotten so far;

I'm late again. But I can't skip a feature for guagapunyaimel. The apophysis abstracts he exhibits in his gallery are very unique and inspirational and I honestly think he's one of the best in that area, right up there with IDeviant and FarDareisMai. Without further ado, here are some fractals I thought didn't get the attention they deserved. All under 15 :+fav:s :) If you like these, you have to head to his gallery to enjoy it fully. Enjoy!
