Poisons

Sometimes I am tempted to draw an almost realistic, cartoonal and stylized drawing at the same time. This one is based on a short story, Peranggi Poison, for Koran Tempo daily where I work for. As all illustrations, it doesn't want to pretend to explain the story. It's perhaps just a visual temptation to go on reading the story fully. Beautiful women with vaginal diseases in the story were described as some kind of deadly poisons to take down some Sultan. Well, even without diseases, I can be easily poisoned by beauty:)
