A fractal manipulation involves using fractal rendering software (typically J Wildfire,  Mandelbulber, or others) and taking these rendered fractals and manipulating them further with other devices and applications.  There is no one typical workflow I use to create each piece.  All are different and not easy to replicate.  Typically, synesthesia drives the final outcome.   You may notice different signature styles.  As my art has evolved in complexity, my signature has simplified.
