so what is going on here? brick scaling and brick stacking? inquiring minds want to know. especially since there is no clone button to see for myself :(

Thanks guys! @intaglio: I don't know whether to thank you or call for medical attention. ;-) @funk_king: Sorry about that. Here's some stats. The base grid space is about 40 wide x 44 high, using double brick scaling with no brick stacking. This is a close-up of the pattern at the base of the "I". You can see some physical overlaps where the highlights are lighter, but basically, there are overlapping bricks everywhere.

Awesome! I love it! I am quite honored to have inspired such a lovely creation! I must be doing my job as a professional muse. Please fill out a comment card and drop it in the box before you leave, so my boss knows I'm working for him. ; ) www.professionalmuse.biz. Really - this is amazing! It also reminds me of the patterns woven into those Filipino shirts. Do you know the ones I mean?

And this from the guy who brought us HulkSmash and IronManic? Genuus1 has gone Emo. I think by it's nature, Fontstuct can be a difficult tool for creating works of whimsy so I congratulate you on taking this direction. Great Job!

I am smitten. That pattern is gorgeous. One thing though, I don't know if you agree: The "X" character seems too wide, why did you choose to give it a 45 degree slant and not 60, like its neighbors "W" and "Y"? Just picking nits here ;)

Many Thanks, all! @caseycastille: Barongs. Traditional Filipino formal wear. Very familiar. I'm surprised you know of them. Case, have you been doing some sleuthing? @afrojet: I'm attempting whatever style comes to me. I still haven't released my style yet... @funk_king: It's funny that I haven't really considered these as secrets. Williaum's brick stacking method - now that was a secret worth sharing. @vanielle: Thanks, that's a nice set of patterns yourself. @sliveress: The X was the lesser of three evils. The other options I attempted looked even more awkward. An angle between 45 and 60 would have been helpful.
