R.I.P. Uncle Phil
I thought we'd go all the way to sign-off together, but all you ever met was your maker. So enthused to gather the innocent, meandering minds of new Big Brand employees and focus their glassy eyes on the world of cellular salesmanship, you never saw coming the focus-group smiles and head-shine double-glances that would forebear your now-overplayed demise. It could have been the comb over. It could have been the tache. It could've been the underlying creepiness sadly precedes an old man that is just too damn happy. What could he hiding?

Visualising the modes... Lydian
This is where you can see how subtle the differences between the musical modes can be. The Lydian mode scale illustrated below is almost identical to the 1st posted Ionian (natural major scale), except that the 4th interval (dotted green wave) is augmented (or a semi-tone sharper), resulting in a sound altogether unique.
The next on my list is the Mixolydian, which is also only very subtly different from the natural major. How reluctant the human mind can be to grasp subtlety. We're all 99.9% genetically identical, 0.01% different. Yet that 0.01% difference makes up probably 99% of our perception of each other. No wonder we're all crazy.

Visualising the modes... Phrygian
Four weeks later, and one tone up from the Dorian, I finally bring you the the Phrygian, which is essentially a natural minor with a flat 2nd (orange):
Sometime in the near future I will bring the Lydian.
This is Africa time.

The vectorised nipple effect (a rehash).
Simple: Live trace old moleskine drawing. Offset path a few times. Scale offsets. Apply gradients fills and effects.

Visualising the modes... Dorian
So I pried myself away from the B-string just long enough to bring you the Dorian mode. The Dorian represents a minor scale with a regular 6th interval.
You can see in this visual of the wave forms, compared to the previous Ionian/major scale, that the 3rd (yellow) and 7th (crimson) intervals are a semi-tone flatter, or at least dotted. The 6th (violet) is the same.
If you played all the white notes on a hypothetical piano in your mind, using D as your root, this is (in some strange sense) what you'd play:
If you move up the white keys and root on the E, you'll be in the Phrygian mode, pronounced much like the offspring of a fridge and a pigeon. Until then...
Happy Friday! I love the rain :) And Other Truths is arriving today. Tears of joy.

Music to your eyes...
I've been under the influence of music quite a bit lately. This is my first attempt to visualise it. Hope it's not completely wrong. Looks pretty either way :)

Vector stuff
Just some recent work to fill the gaps. This job was a bit awkward. Apparently the client, a tampon manufacturer, didn't really want any penises working on the job. So this is all I got in before being snuffed.

Lynch mobs of the world
In the wake of recent news events I've been giving some thought to the lynch mob. The lynch mob is a perfect symbol of how a group of otherwise rational human beings can become stupidly barbaric by the mere effect of each other's company. 
Then I imagined a lynch mob of actual mobsters...
...a lynch mob of priests...
..and finally a group of disgruntled mimes.
I'm thinking of doing a book called "Lynch Mobs of the World"
