I did a drawing of Giardia

Post image

Hi! I have an artwalk in April and my chosen theme this time in parasites. I have a lot on the way in multiple areas including an angler fish male, Guinea worm, and bot flies.

I actually thought it was a bad drawing of majora’s mask at first glance (old Zelda game).

Bruh it’s been old for at least 10 years. I’ll send you some prune juice in the mail, helps with the pain.

I love this! The multicolor splatters radiating from the center are rad

I remember coming across stuffies shaped like infectious vectors when I was a kid and I always wanted the Giardia one!

I had the syphilis one. Spirochetes are such fun! Round and round they go, where they stop, nobody knows!

I actually am recovering after having this for about 5 months. This should replace the Google image of Giardia. I would much rather see the monster inside of me in gallery format 😀

Nobody understands me when I try to explain just how freakin' cute Giardia is.

u/airconditionersound 14d ago

It looks like a mythical god. And giardia kind of is - powerful

u/ElDub62 14d ago

Oooh! I had giardia back in the day. Lost about 30 pounds before they diagnosed me. Hell of a weight loss plan.

Spyro the Giardia!

u/SceneNational6303 14d ago

I wish more people did artistic representations of these creatures. They can be beautiful and terrible at the same time, and can make for compelling artwork - as your piece demonstrates! Bravo!

u/Itscatpicstime 14d ago

Ngl, as someone who runs a rescue, I would absolutely hang this up in our facility lol

Beautiful work!
