Medication is an ever evolving way to treat illness. These two drawings are meant to illustrate the differences between the two most common forms of treating illness. Flowers references herbal medications and the natural state which they come from. SMTWTF refers to modern pre-portioned and synthesized pill forms of medication, which is more commonly used to treat patients today. Influences include French Rococo style, in particular, Fragonards paintings of French aristocrats. The detail and dark lines are reminiscent of Argentinean comic book illustrator, Carlos Meglia.
Excellent work, I’m very interested in your subject matter and how you’ve chosen to inspire your imagery. You have a good contrast between the two images, as does the subject matter in the first place. The first drawing with the flowers and organic flow symbolizing herbal meds and the second being very strict, thick and linear symbolizing as you put it, ‘modern pre-portioned and synthesized pill forms’. I’m impressed that you’ve chosen such an interesting subject matter that a lot of people including yourself can relate to and how you’ve visually demonstrated it without the use of a pill bottle or anything thereafter.
Another thing that just came to me was how you’ve got a in detail between the two pieces, the first being very-very detailed and the second being more sterilized. It makes me think that the modern medication gives one a sense of numbing whereas the more natural approach gives one, clarity.
I absolutely adore this work and I am giving you 5 stars for your vision, originality and technique.
