Thanks to the rapid development of industries, it is undeniable that people’s living standards are increasingly improving day by day. However, it also brings humans a lot of downsides, and one of the most significant of which are ecological disasters, such as dead corals, global warming, or oil spill, just to name a few. These disasters devastate Mother Nature, affect our habitats, and directly threaten human life in the very near future.
Billy Drausin is a self-taught French illustrator and DC comics lover. With the desire to influence people’s thoughts of the above issues, Billy took it upon himself to create several illustrations showing what would happen if Disney characters and superheroes faced environmental disasters. After being published, these drawings have received a lot of feedback and comments from viewers and contributed to changing some people’s opinions in a more positive direction. I bet it will break your heart to see Bambi‘s expression when his forest is destroyed or when Mowgli sees his loved ones standing on the “Extinct Species” podium.
Don’t hesitate to check these amazing illustrations out and take some time to reflect on these natural tragedies.
