This is an illustration I did about the risks involved with unsafe sex. I'm worried that it's a bit harsh and judgemental, yet I really wanted to use the gambling metaphor. Maybe it's just that the gambler looks so crazed...

sometimes a harsh quality is what gets the attention of the people. the gambling metaphor is extremely powerful. and true.
I think it's great! I dig the colours and the linework. I think you might be right about the crazed look though. If the gambler look a little more shocked it would draw our eyes right to the HIV. Love all the work on your blog! can't wait to see more!
Thanky thanky!
andrea - I'm so glad it makes sense! I try to weave in interesting metaphors here and there. I do my best to keep them from being cliche.
sean - good point. Maybe his expression should be more shocked...it would be more powerful. Thanks for the compliments, too.
I dig the slanted eyes of the slot machine. It reminds me of Mr. Burns when he does that evil hand gesture when someone has been lured into his evil plan.
