It's hard to get away from all of the images of Ebola patients. It's especially sad when you see the kids that have been hit by the disease. This is a composite drawing of a couple of those images.

Day 59
I was reading about how Louise Troh (girlfriend of Thomas Eric Duncan, first person to die of Ebola in the U.S. a few weeks ago) heard of Duncan's death from her pastor, who had to stand a few feet away and could only console her through crossing his arms over his chest. It's so sad to see how this disease robs us of the consolation of human touch. But it's also remarkable what we do in place of it with just as much affection. You can read more about this and the life in quarantine people are living in here.
This made me look into sign language, how this can connect and what other emotions look like when we're left to display them from afar.

Started to think up new characters. This is a first attempt. Essentially, noticing my interest in skeletons and combining different animals, I thought to bring them all together. This one is paired off human to human, but you get the point. :)

Continuing from yesterdays thought of, "if hearts had teeth," came a walrus-like creature. Naturally. :) I swear I was aiming to create a heart with teeth, but one thing led to another.
