Lyme Disease - Tick Zone - Richard Reeve

Tiny little ticks abound in the long grass in many parts of the world. The deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, is one of these that is prevalent around my home. This little beast can sometimes inject its package of the spirochete, Borellia burgdorferi, into an unsuspecting mammal. If that mammal is a human being then you may just be unlucky enough to develop Lyme Disease.
Antibiotic treatment is available if it is caught soon enough but repeated infections are possible and long term effects can be debilitating. This series of graphic art posters were inspired (if that is the correct term) by my two confirmed infections to date..

I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...
