Sphere and circle arrangements, the Droste effect, and more: mathematical imagery by Jos Leys. The Droste effect article is informative, too.

i believe the mathematical concepts underlying the droste effect are also responsible for the hasselhoff recursion. curse you, math!

JosLeys.com was mentioned here previously, but it was almost four years ago and that link is now dead. Bookmarked, and thanks.

This will come in very handy designing the inlaid marble floor for my temple.

The circle arrangements are reminiscent of the quite nifty ford circle, which I discovered only yesterday.

Jos Leys does some amazing stuff. When I was first starting out on Ultra Fractal, I was a member of its very prolific mailing list and Jos was one of the most helpful posters there. Nice guy and very creative.

Rich, amazing, fabulous. Incredibly suggestive and effusively, ebulliently fertile.

Great post. Thanks.
