The cockroach beauty
What happens when the pureness of beauty gets tainted by the most digusting insect we can think of? Is it still beautiful? More beautiful? Or is the beauty infected by the repugnant creature? This drawing is still not finished, I want to add more cockroaches and other sordid insects.
