The Sounds of Silence

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence..."
-Simon & Garfunkel

I have to admit: this is my first time using Adobe Illustrator. It was maddening to a degree. I am accustomed to pixel art, so vectors are a whole new realm of perfectionism.
