Continue "Disease Anthropomorphic Set 1"Comed to the second episode!

In this series, four outstanding Taiwanese illustrators "ALOKI", "Quan", "Say HANa", and "Chi You" have set up and illustrated a total of 39 characters. The "disease" that is unfamiliar or feared by ordinary people is personified into a charming character, so that people can understand various diseases from a more vivid perspective, and know themselves and their enemies.

● On the left is "2020 year"and"2021"Disease anthropomorphic desk calendar↓

The layout of the two books is similar, and the second episode includes "SRC Vanguard" and 18 diseases.

(The words of the director of episodes 1 and 2, and some pages introducing CDC are exactly the same)

The 1 and 2 episodes were published at the same time, this is the rhythm of a sequel XD? (Otherwise, it would be fine to synthesize one)

Both books come with a calendar card for 2022 each.

You can see the shiny silver ink everywhere in the book, and the overall design is quite good~

Each disease character has its own personal page.

Including the real characteristics of the disease, such as the route of infection, symptoms, mortality, prevention methods, etc., published by the CDC is even more credible.

Appreciating the beautiful illustrations, and learning new knowledge at the same time, really do it all in one fell swoop 🎉

Then match the characters' virtual personal settings (birthday, personality, likes and dislikes, etc.) to make them come alive.

The illustrators are very attentive to the setting of disease anthropomorphism, and have done a lot of research, so you can savor the interesting associations.

North, Ji Tao, Huaying, Gaoping, Jinchengnan, and Xinxin of the "SRC Pioneer Force" correspond to 6 control centers in Taiwan. (Name yourself Lenovo XD)

The highlight of this book is probably "Severe Special Infectious Pneumonia (COVID-19)" on page 64.

The setting of the painter Chi You is also very subtle, setting it as an international hacker with unknown physical characteristics; the TV wall behind it shows the epidemic that is raging everywhere, and some of the details are also very impressive.

(Although the epidemic has slowed down, I still hope to completely eradicate it. It is hard to imagine that it has coexisted with the epidemic for 2 years)

The last part is an interview with the artists "ALOKI" and "Say HANa".

By the way, now until April 5, 2022 (Tuesday), there is a "This. No Exam 2: Disease Personification Exhibition"(Klook buy tickets), a single exhibition ticket is only 80 yuan, if you pass by, you can go shopping!

An introduction to the exhibition can be found here:https://pier2.org/exhibition/info/945/
