This one is done totally in Illustrator. Its less demanding than the rainbow / fractal version.

Today’s Gratitude Item: Getting some “Up and Go” for use in emergencies. Turns out that sometimes school gets so busy, I literally do not have time to eat. Consuming an emergency “Up and Go” should help when the going gets tough.

    this is excellent and has got me wondering how you managed to coax illustrator to do all this for you… i can manage the gradients and most of the artwork but there’s a complexity here i’m envious of…

    keep well…

    The “secret” is to use a blend with specified steps and a relatively thin stroke to get the flowing lines. What you do is you draw the top and bottom line only (in light and dark blue) and then create a blend. There’s quite a few great tutorials on how to do this. Its a simple, powerful technique that is very useful for creating those abstract designs.
