Some of the YouTube videos are nice, especially this arghhh one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbmQaQWyz-k Ironically the nice-looking ones don't look as good when you look at the full-sized version, which is kinda the opposite of what you'd expect from a fractal.

They still might look interesting on a wall, but not as much as I'd imagined - so having the high-resolution print isn't useful.
