mosquito net
Posted on September 3, 2006 @ 8:39 am by massimo | Filed under: blog, travel, wordpress
In tropical climates mosquitoes are of the sort that spread malaria and dengue fever, so keeping away from them is simply a must. To avoid these small, nasty, blood-sucking, flying insects simply means to avoid contacts with them. Because mosquitoes usually bite during the day, be sure to use precautions especially during early morning hours before daybreak and in the late afternoon before dark. The best thing to do is to dress in protective-long sleeved shirt and long pants after sunset. Last but not least, remember to sleep under a mosquito net…I learned everything soon after experiencing dengue fever in Nias and Bali. It was an overwhelming and demanding occurrence for my body. I got rid of it in a few days and since then I became extremely aware of the facts: I invested some money for a good mosquito net, to carry with me and always be on the safe side! This extremely useful item became so familiar to me, that I kept on considering it as almost a sacred thing, or an artistic object to stare at, changing its shape and weaving in some breezy night…

That sounds like a lot of work…I’ll never complain about bug bites again. If anything here they’re annoying, but I’ve never actually gotten sick from bites. Nice rendering of the net. Especially like the pattern on the rug. Surprising that in all your travels you never encountered a kangaroo!
I hate mosquitoes too, but I love ur illo :)
Wow…it continues to amaze me how your high quality is so consistant. Your digitally produced patterns are always so beautiful.
I am amazed at how you turn everyday objects into art and find the beauty in all things! Your storys always fascinate me and I can’t wait to see what you create! Love this!
I have always wanted to sleep under one, and think they are an object of beauty. Your illustration shows us that quality very well.
Fabulous! I love this.
Smooch,

; )
GORGEOUS!! I love the colors and the flow of this piece. The transparency. . sigh! The rug and the bamboo floor. You amaze me!
lov the form of the netting as if it has a life of its own. and another great story. maybe u should do a book of ur travels
Beautiful flow to the design, reminds me of ocean waves on a calm day. very interesting narrative as well. Great piece!
dengue fever… even when you get sick it sounds exotic, no plain boring cold:)))
Your work is so pure and beautiful… I always feel like I’ve been to a rare place after visiting your blog.
Mi spiace tantissimo non aver capito la storia. Il disegno è ovviamente bellissimo. E le tue tende sono molto più belle di quelle reali. Io non sono stata mai capace di dormirci sotto. Sono claustrofobica e i mosquiti mi stanno simpatici perchè non mi hanno mai disturbato! Però ammetto che le tende sono affascinanti.
Mi ricordano momenti molto felici.
Nice one. Very alluring…
