Something I used to be really into playing with a few years ago is fractal artwork. Fractals are graphics generated by mathematical formulas using fractal art programs. (You don't have to actually know or understand the math to create them. I sure don't.) You can do some really beautiful things with them- fractal equations are behind a lot of forms in the natural world and in the weather.
Here are some examples of really gorgeous computer generated fractal art from Deviantart.com.
And finally, some free fractal software you can download if you want to try making them yourself.
Apophysis is the easiest to start with, I think, but there's also
Fractal Explorer,
Chaoscope, and
more.
