How did you make this work:
This puzzling illustration was drawn with pencil, and eventually came to life in Illustrator. The stork, which often is used as an icon for birth, is nurturing the poor and ill. While a plague doctor and baby devil are watching the process. My favorite part is the frog that's protected from getting eaten by the heron because of financial help. The perfect welfare state seems to be a real puzzle.
