Paul Max Payton from Burlingame, California (USA) writes:

"I've written well over twenty thousand lines of C which produce tile
elements (squares and equilateral triangles), affinely warp them into
other shapes, and tessellate them in any of the seventeen different
two-dimensional crystallographic groups (a la Escher). My code runs on
a Macintosh (Symantec C++) and ports to any computer easily. It keeps my G3 and my Sun workstation humming along."

"The little guys I'm enclosing I call FRACTILES (because they tile and
they are self-similar like fractals). I create huge tessellations
of these called IMBREX (Latin for 'tile'). In fact, this Christmas, I
created a massive one square yard print, 11520x11520 pixels CMYK true
color which I printed out and had nicely framed. It was a present for my mother."

Pual's images are large in size with the smallest one being 2048x2048 pixels.

Paul is currently working on a Persian cyber-carpet which will be 70x30 inches. One single image is a gigabyte in size (it fills a Jaz disk). It drives the
folks down at Kinkos crazy.

Program: Paul's own program that he has written for creating these Imbrex images Finished Size: pixel image, no size Date Created: 1999 Paul writes: I use image processing and Boolean algebra to make the FRACTILES, then assemble them using some really complex but elegant trigonometry to make my IMBREX. I map colors into different color spaces (e.g., RGB, CMYK, CIE, YUV, YIQ) and fuse them in layers to create the finished works. It's all highly mathematical. More examples below:

My undergraduate degree is CompSci and I've done graduate work in image processing. I was the youngest person to be given a staff position in Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center. My work is in image understanding, photogrammetry, and specialized applications of computational geometry in cartography and geographic information systems. I've published over fifty articles, including several book chapters. My hobbies are algorithmic art and poetry/calligrammes.
