Latest for VQR on the deadly Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, culprit of spreading dengue, yellow fever and zika viruses. Just like many other fatal creatures, Aedes aegypti is mesmerizingly beautiful. I want to make this tiny creature larger than life in both illustrations. The idea of the opener is to let the mosquito, adorned with motifs of suffering and death, dominate the page. The interior is inspired by photos of WWII air raids. 

Big thanks to AD Paul Reyes for all the creative freedom!
