Would you support this idea?
So I just had a flash of insight into something I want to do with a hobby of mine.
Has anyone ever seen a 3D lenticular poster before? They are the pictures that look like they have multiple 3D layers, or when you look at the poster from different angles, the scene changes/moves like its animated. Pretty much a hologram on a poster.

Well I during my free time sometimes I like to make fractal images on my laptop. I spend anywhere from an hour to 3 hours to make them. A couple of my better ones are attached here. (Best viewed at high resolutions)
So what if I printed some of these out as lenticular posters, sold them, and donated all of the money toward a worthy cause? I was thinking about a homeless shelter or some sort of benefits for the homeless program, because I see them a lot in Denver and Boulder and it really gets to me.
Would you pay $10-$20 for one of these posters, knowing I would donate 100% to a cause like this (well maybe %95 to pay for printing costs? Just asking as an open ended question...like if you saw someone selling them at a concert or on the street or whatever. Would you buy one?
Thoughts?

But sure, I might buy one, if I liked the colors
And hey what do you have against fractals. And hippies for that matter!
A wise man is neither yuppie nor hippie. Ever heard of non-dualism? :P
And fractals can be cool. As long as there wasn't hippie labor involved. I like oranges and yellows and reds.
What do you think of the colors in the ones I posted?
This is another one with cool colors
That works..

...and that mind is one of the senses that humans have (that catpath shouldn't be there).
I will be uploading the .flame files someday...
your images are hypnotic/conducive_to_meditation.

Perhaps it is easier and better for you to hitch up with an existing proven non-profit charity with their auctions or similar established fund raising venues. There is no shortage of legitimate fund raisers these days. Good luck. Great idea. :thumbsup:
