Well, just to be a smarty pants. i found you this !

What is the origin of "the life of Riley"? "life of Reilly"?

(Etymology)

It is said that this expression originated in the 1880s from a song called, "Is that Mr. Reilly?". The song contained lyrics such as "a hundred a day would be my pay", and other comedic speculation about what "Mr. Reilly" would do if he were to become wealthy. The earliest recorded citation for "life of Reilly", however, is in 1919, where the "life of Reilly" is referred to in another song, "...but I'm living the life of Reilly just the same..."

anyway... this is nice, i like the little twiddly bit too!!
pretty gradients!

"It could have an Irish origin: After the Riley clan consolidated its hold on County Cavan, they minted their own money, accepted as legal tender even in England. These coins, called “O'Reillys” and “Reilly's,” became synonymous with a monied person, and a gentleman freely spending was “living on his Reillys.” "

Living on his Reillys :) This one seems to be having a lot of fun - lots of energy and light in this one John - I like it heaps.

You know,...this really does look like Riley. Didn't Riley do a TV show...?...something like "Believe It or Not?" Nice job and wonderful colors.

Well, you sparked some reseach and speculation with this one, John! You've got people thinking with your lovely fractal and your title. Nicely done.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I'm glad I take the time to read all the comments that have gone on before, and I certainly learned more than just that you have made another lovely fractal...and it's saved, of course :)

Looks like he like softly swirled ice-cream drowned in caramel, blueberry and cream. Hope it's all vegan...

Great stuff.
