"Supposing yourself to be the victim, how would you feel, if, when retiring to bed in some strange establishment, just as you were thinking of blowing out the candle, it should suddenly explode with no small report, the light be extinguished, and in place of the flame a small ghost with outstretched arms should appear, shining with a phosphorescent glow? I venture to think you would be very, very much surprised; and yet this is the effect produced by this ingenious construction."

Above the text are two drawings.

The first is a figure with a skull and arms along its side, stuffed within a tube, with a spring underneath, and this contraption inside a burning candle.

The second picture is that same figure, but now with outstretched arms, peaking out from the now-exposed tube, with the top of the candle now nowhere to be seen.

Data Streams - Work in progress abstract graphics

Work in progress export of an #abstract piece I've been working on in #deviantART's #muro since this evening.

Started with just random #webink patterns in a broad spectrum of colours, and then smearing them in different directions, blending and trying to find satisfying patterns and colour combinations as I go.

It's turning out a lot more #pastel than I'd originally set out, but so far it's been quite pleasing. :)
