I would like to promote a monthly series of interviews I've recently started to bring exposure to Mandelbulb3D fractal artists, called "The Great Mandelbulber". The interviews focus on the way the artists create their fractals, on their inspirations and on giving advices to people who want to get in touch with MB3D. I published the second issue today!
Here's the link: [link]
