Inverse Julia Sets

Normally, a Julia set is calculated by iterating

for a particular value of c (in this example, i). Alternatively we can iterate the inverse mapping

randomly picking either the positive or negative root.

 
inverseJulia[z_] :=  Sqrt[z - I] /; Random[] < 0.5;
 
inverseJulia[z_] := -Sqrt[z - I];
 
complexPoints = NestList[inverseJulia, 0.1 + 1.1 I, 10000]
 
ListPlot[complexPoints /. Complex[a_, b_]->{a, b},
	AspectRatio -> Automatic];
