Hello to everyone reading this journal! Before we move on to the interview itself, some of you may ask yourselves questions such as, ‘What is fractal art?’ or ‘Who are ‘fractalists’?’ Let me provide you with a very brief introduction. According to the Oxford Dictionary, fractal is a curve or geometrical figure in which each part shares the same statistical characteristics as the whole. These structures can be found throughout nature, including in plants, minerals, and even in different states of matter such as gas (smoke), liquid (waves), or solid (snowflakes). In simpler terms, Fractal Art refers to fractals presented as an art form, created using fractal-generating software. Term "Fractalist" consists simply of the two words - fractal, and artist. If you would like to know a little bit more, I recommend these brief, yet informative journals by C-91 and tatasz, as well as the following collection of Fractal Art across DeviantArt: Finally, welcome to the latest issue of a project

Welcome to another Fan Art Friday! Today we're celebrating the most beloved Great Dane in animated television, Scooby-Doo. This year marks 15 years since the premiere of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (April 5, 2010), and 56 years since the franchise began in the late 1960s . Scooby-Doo was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, animators who co-founded Hanna-Barbera Productions, the animation studio responsible for creating highly popular cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and, of course, Scooby-Doo. The first series (Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!) premiered on September 13, 1969, on CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System). It was the result of plans by CBS and Hanna-Barbera to create a non-violent Saturday morning show that would appease the parent watch groups that had protested the superhero-based programs of the mid-1960s. The plot follows Scooby-Doo (a Great Dane) and four teenagers, Fred Jones, Daphne Blake
