Dying Africaby ~Oli4D

Digital Art / Drawings / Political

©2005-2013 ~Oli4D

Dying Africa...
Well... this should just visualize something that went through my mind today.. that it almost seems that africa is dying... or better: the people... specially because of hunger... and even more dangerous and brutal: AIDS...
Its horrible and very sad what happens down there

That inspired me to do this minimalistic painting.

edit: did some very little changes at the facial expression.

Daily Deviations

HelicaseHelio and I were always sitting on the stairs, chatting about the lamina and occasionally making snide remarks about ribosomes. There wasn't much for us to do. Our job was to simply be, and let the RNA scribble down the letters on our foreheads when they came around every once in a while. Helio was a G, I was a C. It wasn't exactly fulfilling, I suppose. There wasn't much to be filled. So to pass the time, we talked.
"You ever wonder?" Helio asked.
"About what?"
"About...well...what's out there." Helio and I were rooted to the stairs, quite happily, but it was awkward to move in. He kind of twisted in the general direction of the closest pore. "Out in the cytoplasm."
"I haven't," I admitted. "What's there to wonder about?"
"That's exactly the thing. I have no idea." Helio sighed, gazing into the distance. "Somehow it feels like we play this huge, huge role in something important, but how can we when we don't even know what that something is? I want to be something that, that has

A note to artists who want to offer commissions.
