I pulled this one from the files for the Illustration Friday prompt "music". This was done for the first person story of a man whose first symptom of a brain tumor was hearing a combination of Procul Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale" and a Bach Fugue. The art director told me that the writer liked the illustration, which was important to me. The musical notation is the opening bars of "Whiter Shade of Pale".This is just too gorgeous not to share- Neil Ornstein's Papageno on Snorkblog

This illustration shows how in touch you were with his precarious situation... and yet...there is such hope. You did all that so simply and meaningfully and in black and white noless!
