• Computer virus art by Alex Dragulescu

This guy Alex had a really cool idea. He took a variety of viruses and thought about their actions and way of working. He thought about the right colors that will represent them the best and designed each one of them in an artistic kind of way. He did very common viruses (My favorite one is the STORM).
