I put a mini-Mandelbrot set on the parachute top; there are an infinite number of replicas embedded within the Mandelbrot Set, each of which contains all the detail of the whole. It doesn’t have a name, other than mini-Mandelbrot. Some people think they look like Buddhas, others think they’re bugs.

Super, that’s exciting! So far, all my art balloons have been printed by Kubicek, but I’m eager to try out UltraMagic too, really like them :)
