The pivital point I'm missing here is why would you settle for the stunt car racer game.... When you could actually do the real thing (or something similar) like I do!

David I can see how there could be a couple of ways to interpret question. IE: where are you coming from? ASs in how did you get into doing fractal art? Also a question for all of you since David brought up smoking pot.. Do you think that drugs help or hinder the process of making fractal art?

For me, they hinder art in general. I never get inspired when influenced. I have been clean from hard drugs for 8+ years now. The Green stuff always made me paranoid or sick. Alcohol just makes me too tired to do anything. Coffee makes me shake and then I am jumpy and my head spins.
But I have heard some feel new ideas come from being under some influence of something, but I feel it comes from allowing chances to influence your work, like John Cage did with his music. I say allow accidents to happen.

I'm currently living in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, UK. Stratford-upon-Avon is mostly known as the birthplace of Shakespeare. Other than that - not much going on here!

I asked for a couple of reasons..A couple of weeks ago I had to go to the ER for pain. When I was ready to try to do some fractals I could not concentrate or fuction properly. Maybe it depends on the drug? Also in the 70's all the great musicians said that drugs made their music better. Couple cups of coffee get me going/motivatrd in the morn. Never really tried anything else while trying to be creative. Same here with alcohol, get too tired. I do however get very inspired here seeing the work of others.

As so do I. This place reeks of imagination. Maybe inspiration can come from 'shrooms. I've never done that.

David, I'm not a doctor but if you look online you may be surprised at the number of people with similar symptoms, so I'm sure its not 1 to 5. For a period I used to get this weird really loud BANG in my head just before going to sleep, then I stumbled upon this chat group where hundreds had reported in describing exactly the same symptoms and how they thought they must be going insane, its actually called 'exploding head syndrome'!! It went away after a while... I think perhaps I had been working too hard and not giving myself a break.
I always wondered about that. It's only ever occasionally it happens. Is it related to your eyes feeling like they're each about the size of your skull (or bigger) and/or made of concrete? edit: just read about it on wikipedia... The bit about being unable to vocalize is interesting as that is a recurring theme in my dreams. Anyway, I'm from Kent in England... That little bit of England that's near to France (and London).

For me I didn't get that... but I think people get all sorts of weird stuff, especially when asleep or half asleep. I heard on the radio about this guy who woke up one morning and there were someone else's legs in his bed! So he tried to push them off the bed and fell out, turns out they were his

As Lycium said, Wellington, New Zealand, which now seems to be the fractal and rendering capital of, um, the south.

Of course smoking pot helps people create art! Well, it's helps me play the guitar and really get into the groove...man.
Pot helps me forget about the less-important* things and get on with more interesting things!
I'm from Brsistol, Uk btw.
* (well, maybe they're more important but they're certainly less interesting - work-life, mundane jobs in the house, paying bills etc.)
