About the corona drawings

Drawing is a wonderful way to react on issues which are burning on my nails right now. These are mostly people, often old white men, whose inglorious statements and actings make me angry. And at least I want to react…
In this case it is something almost intangible, something that we can only grasp in its effects, be it health-related or prophylactic: the corona virus. Now this is my way of fighting the demons…

As a template (I always use templates) I downloaded a virus photo from the net.
I vary, react, work on the foto. I notice that the drawings – there are 6 now – change while working, go their their own ways. The virus sometimes looks beautiful, just like atomic mushrooms can be beautiful…

Maybe you have discovered the two devil horns on the virus: a good friend of mine, a writer that I work with every now and then, has pointed out to me, that in the Middle Ages the devil was considered to be a carrier of diseases, especially the plague…

The drawings are small, from about 21cm to 11cm to Din A4.
