nereid

this piece was drawn while backpacking in india in january 2020, and inspired by the beautiful diversity of colors that we saw there.

we were travelling for 6 weeks and came home a few days before lockdown with no idea what covid was. back home, there was a nice little party from a local start up, when a friend asked me: "did you bring corona with you?" and i answered: "what? no, why should i bring corona from india!?" well, i thought he ment the beer. at this point of time i heard the very first time of the virus. this makes this illustration the last thing i did draw before the pandemic craze hit the planet.

the name was chosen because somebody mentioned to me that it looks like a nereid, and i liked it because the illustration was done near the sea.
