Cynicism and cruelty can kill any living being, just like winter frost. But if one has not lost the last hope, a miracle can happen, and help will come, letting one run through any snow walls. Illustration for the exhibition "Reclaim" by the non-profit organization DACS (Designers Against Child Slavery). "Reclaim" exhibition was based on the story of a girl named Mint, a survivor of the commercial sex trade. DACS' mission is to help restore the lives of women and children victimized by the sex trade.

Venenation

Wed, 13 Jul 2011 10:02:24 -0400

illustration for "The Last Kingdom", a trilogy by Vladimir Shirogorov. The idea of being poisoned by power penetrates all the parts of this trilogy, so I decided to depict is as a venomous flow-serpent that is trying to catch the characters being at their time a part of them.
