Here are a couple of illustrations (I often work in pairs) using HIV as a theme embellished with a more fantastical horror aesthetic.
The first image showing the encroaching horror of a virus about to destroy it’s host.
The second image showing a lover embracing his partner while the alien horror watches over it’s ill deeds.
At the time I was in the mood to do some drawings, I hadn’t had anything in mind, so I often reflect on current issues to put myself in an editorial mindset and this was the result.
