Abstract
Novel fractal forms can be created by iteration of higher order polynomials of the complex variable, z, with both positive and negative exponents, followed by optional integer power transformation, k zz . Such functions lead to an expanded universe of fascinating fractal patterns that can be incorporated into computer generated art.
