In October 2018, I was contacted by someone interested in using one of my fractals on their food truck.  I was kind of stunned.  When I asked how big the truck was he told me that the truck was 32 feet long by 8 feet 10 inches high.  I'm thinking, Wow, I'm going to have to make a very large render.  I wasn't sure my computer could handle rendering a very colorful, detailed fractal at such a large size.  But, luckily the image is symmetrical, so I only had to render it at half the length, but still the full height, so 16 feet by 8 feet 10 inches. Then they just had to print the image twice and then flipped one of them to make the full image.  It was an older fractal, so first I had to go find the original parameters.  Then I need to zoom in to the area they were interested in and then reposition the image so only half of it was selected, then rendered it at the full size of 16 ft x 8 ft 10 in.  This was the image they were interested in:

So, I contacted him and said I had rendered it and communicated with the company that was actually going to apply the fractal to the truck, a process I was very curious about.  How in the world do you attach a huge decal to a truck and get it flat and lined up and whatever else they had to do (apply around windows, door handles, etc).   So anyway to make a long story short, they got the image put on the truck and sent me pictures of it. 











It was an awesome feeling to see my art on something so large that I suppose a lot of people in Utah will see.  I haven't heard any more from the guy who contacted me about it.  I'm not sure the truck is actually ready to be sent out.  I think they had just bought it and was going to do some work on it to get it ready for use.  But, if you're ever in Utah, keep an eye out for it.

Just goes to show you, fractals may show up just about anywhere.  Of course with nature, we are surrounded by fractals, but I'm talking fractal art in other forms/media.
