selections from a large editorial package on medium / elemental about the history of the flu, flu remedies, and flu prevention in kids

I like the way he reports the process of the flu in all stages, focusing on the main elements, objects... there is a lot more objects and cenarios than human presence which is something I'm used to doing and I think represents situations very well - it doesn't imply the situation straight but it tells the story

unfortunately I didn't get the name of the artist that made this artwork, but it sure helped me to make the winds with face without looking too cartoonish.
the shadows of the clouds on the ground forming skull shapes gives me a sense of duality of something that apparently looks so sutil and bright together with the sun filling up the whole brackground and the chaos under it all.]]> 2020-05-27 14:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thassykato/20svqzi7o5tppzz4/wish/597057295 SEYMOUR CHWAST thassykato https://padlet.com/thassykato/20svqzi7o5tppzz4/wish/597090609 A symbolic depiction of a relationship — his and hers — for the Couples issue of the Push Pin Graphic.]]> 2020-05-27 14:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/thassykato/20svqzi7o5tppzz4/wish/597090609 LAN TRUONG thassykato https://padlet.com/thassykato/20svqzi7o5tppzz4/wish/597243945 reference for the spot for the article "Every Retrograde in 2020" from NICE PAPER magazine.

photo by Carl Ostberg

this photographer inspires me with her vintage contemporary style she has in her artwork. there is a very romantic palette too and in this photo the silk fabric gives a feminine and seductive vibe to it. the flower itself is already a very feminine symbol and it works perfectly to the magazine that is directed specially to the feminine public that cannabis is part of their lifestyle.]]> 2020-06-01 20:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/thassykato/20svqzi7o5tppzz4/wish/605657207 CARL OSTBERG thassykato https://padlet.com/thassykato/20svqzi7o5tppzz4/wish/605658807 campaign for Heretic Parfum

one of the ideas I had for the spot for the article "Already HIgh?
