1717 thru 61117 KALEIDOSCOPIC HUMANOIDS PORTFOLIO
The cold reader exploits that the human mind is a whiz at making senses of information, shaping faces out of leaves, finding religious icons on pieces of toast, and letting us believe general sentences and uncertain questions add up to prophesy. ~Thomm Quackenbush
Facial Pareidolia & Snarky Galactics
I live with facial pareidolia, Google it. This is why all I create has faces.
I love creating non traditional humanoid faces using any medium I can, beginning in 2017 I have devoted to creating kaleidoscopic humanoids within images based off of both fractal prints, random patterns generated using Tapet and reworks based on images of some of my favorite artist friends. Oh yes and sometimes the base image I process using Google’s Deep Blue AI – Dream Deeply for added intensity and awesomeness.
This video presents the total of 183 unique 24″ x 42″ Digital Prints (I prefer prints on Glass) I created in the first 6 months of 2017. The Kaleidoscopic Humanoids collection so far are broken down into 13 series each with their own unique sense and flare.
The series are identified by a unique number associated with the unfolding point when my snarky galactic friends begged to be created in image. The series numbers are 1717. 11917, 13117, 2117, 3217, 3317, 31317, 32217, 32517, 4217, 42217, 52617, 61117.
Full resolution print downloads are available at http://flickr.com/sethd8/ for you to use.
Additional PS, Apophysis settings and source images available upon request.
Please view this video on your largest screen in fullscreen mode (up to full UHD 4k) whenever possible, since many times you will find a multitude of faces in each individual print from different head tilts or just shifting your gaze. I create my work for you to explore and then explore again and be amazed.
So floss your brain, expand your perceptions and have fun playing with me and my snarky Galactic friends I have unfolded for you to see.
Faces in Faces within Faces!
InJoY!

This animation was inspired by much information shared with me via email by Darren Walker. It was allot of information to work through and process, so much gratitude and unity expressed for taking charge and sharing key information which both validate and expanded my work. This animation is created for you Darren as my reflection of what I am working on translating through in my vision integrating with the knowledge you highlighted and shared. =}
And additional gratitude to Alison McLean in unifying our visions and anchoring the patterns in our grid from NZ and I anchor now here in SW USA!
FYI NOTE: Entangle when the denser liquid light stuff comes into tour vision, this thicker light hold vastly more amounts of information you’ve been asking so go ahead and entangle with and in joy having your every question answered experimentally.
Quantum Entanglement is quite easy, when your awareness perceives these globules of golden shiny light using your mind open your thoughts feelings and body to receive, let this information transfer of light know that yes you are ready to entangle. with your mind with focus on your third eye or minds eye area perceive the light packets and say ok I know allow you in, allow your mind to expand in space and conception, as the flood of knew information pops into mind you will know when you are full, the key here is learning the basic pathway of entangling with another aspect so you may download or transfer information into your incarnation right here now.

Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” ~Dr. Seuss
This visualization depicts 7th dimension Beings expressing through a Grand Julian Fractal animation which has been post processing into a kaleidoscopic animation sequence. The 7th dimension is that of pure creativity, pure light, pure tone. pure geometry, and pure expression. It is a plane of infinite refinement.
And as in all-ways: Breath, Breath Deep, Still your mind, Deepen your awareness of your senses, Breath Deep, Latch onto the expanding feeling; feels like you are rising or feeling your awareness grow, when you feel downward pressure or contraction, breath deep again to still our mind and sense with your senses, know the miracle you are perceiving and do not hesitate to ask this visualization for additional information, be amazed as your queries are answered. You are watching this now because you have had a request to expand your perceptions, this is an exercise in that expansion.
In-joy from within!

Free Cultural Works
As of August 1, 2012
I am now adhering my work in accordance to Free Cultural Works guidelines.
Shifting perspectives to redefine our world
Free Cultural Works
Preamble
Social and technological advances make it possible for a growing part of humanity to access, create, modify, publish and distribute various kinds of works – artworks, scientific and educational materials, software, articles – in short: anything that can be represented in digital form. Many communities have formed to exercise those new possibilities and create a wealth of collectively re-usable works.
Most authors, whatever their field of activity, whatever their amateur or professional status, have a genuine interest in favoring an ecosystem where works can be spread, re-used and derived in creative ways. The easier it is to re-use and derive works, the richer our cultures become.
Defining Free Culture Licenses
Licenses are legal instruments through which the owner of certain legal rights may transfer these rights to third parties. Free Culture Licenses do not take any rights away — they are always optional to accept, and if accepted, they grant freedoms which copyright law alone does not provide. When accepted, they never limit or reduce existing exemptions in copyright laws.
Essential freedoms
In order to be recognized as “free” under this definition, a license must grant the following freedoms without limitation:
- The freedom to use and perform the work: The licensee must be allowed to make any use, private or public, of the work. For kinds of works where it is relevant, this freedom should include all derived uses (“related rights”) such as performing or interpreting the work. There must be no exception regarding, for example, political or religious considerations.
- The freedom to study the work and apply the information: The licensee must be allowed to examine the work and to use the knowledge gained from the work in any way. The license may not, for example, restrict “reverse engineering”.
- The freedom to redistribute copies: Copies may be sold, swapped or given away for free, as part of a larger work, a collection, or independently. There must be no limit on the amount of information that can be copied. There must also not be any limit on who can copy the information or on where the information can be copied.
- The freedom to distribute derivative works: In order to give everyone the ability to improve upon a work, the license must not limit the freedom to distribute a modified version (or, for physical works, a work somehow derived from the original), regardless of the intent and purpose of such modifications. However, some restrictions may be applied to protect these essential freedoms or the attribution of authors (see below).
Permissible restrictions
Not all restrictions on the use or distribution of works impede essential freedoms. In particular, requirements for attribution, for symmetric collaboration (i.e., “copyleft” or “Attribution”), and for the protection of essential freedom are considered permissible restrictions.
Defining Free Cultural Works
In order to be considered free, a work must be covered by a Free Culture License, or its legal status must provide the same essential freedoms enumerated above. It is not, however, a sufficient condition. Indeed, a specific work may be non-free in other ways that restrict the essential freedoms. These are the additional conditions in order for a work to be considered free:
- Availability of source data: Where a final work has been obtained through the compilation or processing of a source file or multiple source files, all underlying source data should be available alongside the work itself under the same conditions. This can be the score of a musical composition, the models used in a 3D scene, the data of a scientific publication, the source code of a computer application, or any other such information.
- Use of a free format: For digital files, the format in which the work is made available should not be protected by patents, unless a world-wide, unlimited and irrevocable royalty-free grant is given to make use of the patented technology. While non-free formats may sometimes be used for practical reasons, a free format copy must be available for the work to be considered free.
- No technical restrictions: The work must be available in a form where no technical measures are used to limit the freedoms enumerated above.
- No other restrictions or limitations: The work itself must not be covered by legal restrictions (patents, contracts, etc.) or limitations (such as privacy rights) which would impede the freedoms enumerated above. A work may make use of existing legal exemptions to copyright (in order to cite copyrighted works), though only the portions of it which are unambiguously free constitute a free work.
In other words, whenever the user of a work cannot legally or practically exercise his or her basic freedoms, the work cannot be considered and should not be called “free.”
To ensure the graceful functioning of this ecosystem, works of authorship should be free, and by freedom we mean:
- the freedom to use the work and enjoy the benefits of using it
- the freedom to study the work and to apply knowledge acquired from it
- the freedom to make and redistribute copies, in whole or in part, of the information or expression
- the freedom to make changes and improvements, and to distribute derivative works
If authors do not take action, their works are covered by existing copyright laws, which severely limit what others can and cannot do. Authors can make their works free by choosing among a number of legal documents known as licenses. For an author, choosing to put their work under a free license does not mean that they lose all their rights, but it gives to anyone the freedoms listed above.
It is important that any work that claims to be free provides, practically and without any risk, the aforementioned freedoms. This is why we hereafter give a precise definition of freedom for licenses and for works of authorship.
