I tend to process things creatively. Comics are a way for me to share my feelings, connect with others and hopefully make a small difference in someone's day. I’m sending out my love & good vibes in the weeks to come.

“When we allow fear of the unseen invade our sacred space”. - This is a difficult time for many around the world as we see people lose their jobs, their way of life, their loved ones to this disease. While the best thing (and for now probably the only thing) we can do in the war against #covid19 is to #stayathome, lets remind ourselves to check in on friends and loved ones for I feel that it is not this disease that will come for us but fear itself.

corona virus really is making me mad. i havent done anything in two weeks.

My painting is of an old woman who had just baked cookies. I decided to paint this because recently due to being stuck in the house I've gotten back into baking. I drew the old woman because I miss my grammy and she also loves to bake. We often bake together so I wanted to draw something that reminded me of her. :)

Right around the beginning of this quarantine business I started to remodel a house to move into. While everything that's going on has delayed my moving in, it has given me more time to fix it up, including doing a lot of painting and trying some things on the walls that I've never done before. Alongside that, it's also freed up more time for me to draw in my sketchbook and experiment with colors there as well.

Hi there, Artist: 11 years old The artist loves being at home during this time as it is his 'sanctuary'. He enjoys the extra time with his family and time spent on his hobbies such as gaming. He has used the word 'dream' to represent how quarantine feels. Thanks

Social distancing: Distancing today, so we can be together tomorrow.

social distancing and quarantine made me realize how important and fragile our relationship with each other is. ‘I am thinking of you” says one to another, despite our isolations.

During these hard times, being quarantined makes people feel a little crazy....so why not make something crazy! I chose a specific color scheme that feels comfortable to the eye, yet the actual design is madness. To me, being trapped at home feels comfortable but also maddening that none of us can go anywhere or do anything. Thank you for your consideration!

Mornings are just not quite the same anymore!

I've been in isolation for 2 weeks. Spent my time reading a lot, watching movies and drawing... When I get tired I rest with my cat. The cat is also in isolation, she just doesn't know it.

Being quarantined helps me to be more productive in art. Also, this is my only contribution to our country to reduce the spread of the COVID19, to be a cooperative individual. Entertain yourself with the things that you love. Stay at home and chill. Everything will be alright.

The silver lining of this shelter in place is my daily afternoon walk to put my son down for a nap in his stroller. In our previously scheduled life, he would fall asleep on the drive home from forest school. These are non native eucalyptus and my beloved favorite tree, a Monterey pine, on a shady side trail of Golden Gate Park.

Title: “Quantum Travel.” Medium: Bic pen and white pencil on vintage postcards. In this time of crisis and quarantine, my mind and imagination cannot be restricted by walls, time or space. My art and creativity spark my imagination and allow me to travel to anywhere I choose.

“Distance means so little, when life means so much.” STAY SAFE

When the news broke that we all had to be careful and start self-isolating, I immediately took to my water colours. The water represents the distance between us, the iceberg in the centre is me by my lonesome. And the sky is changing in colours, because this situation is also rapidly changing. We'll see what tomorrow holds....

My cat just had a litter of three kittens. They are only a week old, and barely starting to open their eyes. I picked one up and said, “Open your eyes little one. There’s a... actually a really broken world for you to see.” I knew right away I wanted to try and represent that. I then remembered the drawing challenge and really wanted to enter the piece. There is always hope for anything broken. It may take more work, but it’s always possible. With a little bit of glue and help from everyone we can overcome whatever the world is faced with!

The quarantine trinity: Games, Exercise, and lots and lots of Movies!

Books are the best weapon in the world (against loneliness and fear). Arm yourself!

Reflection — "It was an attack, and a panic because strangers are accidents" Close quarters means self-reflection, means self-deprecation, means appreciating the accidents and not going on tangents about what makes us so different.

Gifted houseplants from friend's.

As a full time freelance, is okay to working from my studio. But when you be Quarantine, you cannot go out easily without good reason. So i just stay in studio, doing artwork and commission. Stay safe everybody

round and round my living room!

“Some Beings Love Movie Marathons” — I originally made this piece in thinking of my friend from high school who excitingly invited me to a Christopher Nolan Batman midnight movie marathon. Flash forward to this week in the time of social distancing, and I’ve found myself finding comfort in movie marathons again. Right now, I’m in the midst of the Marvel Cinematic Universe collection. There’s something about getting swept up in a large, multi-layered story that makes me feel connected... to the characters, the actors, and the shared fans.

"Vera Lynn For The Hipsters", March 2020. The title for this one was inspired by a remark Marc Riley made on his BBC 6 Music show earlier in the week. Couldn’t resist getting inspired! As we self-isolate and/or minimise going out unless we feel the absolute need to, as Freddie of the Mercury once sang, “radio, someone still loves you ❤️”

Living at home and drawing all day, after years of having a morning job, is something that I really missed.

My wild little garden, I could gaze out forever and never be tired, of all the leaves waving in the breeze, the birds that come to visit and the chameleon darting across the wall from his home in the bougainvillea

Simba our Akita’s bedtime toys, they live at the foot of our stairs

In this time of pandemic, a small act of social distancing would go a long way. The drawing depicts that the world is together but needs to have a distance to stop the spreading of the virus.

this piece has completely transformed in meaning over the past 2 weeks. I hold it very near to my heart. this is "sopravviveremo" (we will survive in Italian). sending love during these times :)

Spending my coron(a)tine while deep diving into Kidkrow album. . . all by myself

Stand-by

I decided to draw myself reading, since I’ve been reading lots of books. I very calm about The whole thing.

Making a home inside a home to me means to do things that in your daily life you don't get to do. Books are a door to transport you to other places, but at the same time they shelter you, like a home.

i draw this days ago , when covid19 found in my country , hope u guys like it

In my newfound free time, I've been creating music and experimenting with makeup. I've also been doodling a lot. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

GIFT BOX ~ 'WRAPPING IS HARD'

Dreaming of Paris

THIS IS MY COCOON . I DREAM THAT AFTER THIS MOMENT WE COULD TRANSFORM FEAR AND ANXIETY TO A POWERFULL ENERGY TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD

Staying at home actually doesn't bother me, since I'm quite an introvert anyway. But of course in this special situation there is constant stress and anxiety. All the time I'm deeply worried about my family since I can't go and visit them and I'm so afraid that they could get sick. I'm sure, that everyone feels like this at the moment. Also I'm so grateful for all the technology we have, so staying in touch with everyone is very easy! I'm trying to distract myself in this situation by reading a lot. Diving into another world helps me forget about my fears for a small time. In addition I really try to stay positive and use the time to practice drawing and reflecting about my personal goals and development. In the end there's nothing else to do but staying patient and cautious so we don't contribute in further spreading this virus. So please stay home, stay strong and stay healthy everyone! ☀

me and my cat enjoy the atmosphere in my purple room. Time seems to flow more slowly

It has been many many years of not being able to finish or start projects. Between being a single mom of 2 and having to work full time nothing gets finished or started. This painting I started and almost finished ( couple more days I hope) represent ,more free time, calm time, no one touching my stuff time . I'm forced to stay home more.

quarantine doodle

This is a little dark, but this is self quarantine as If you were left alone with your thoughts.

While Quarantinned, I am spending a lot more time doing the things I LOVE!!!!!! Spending time in my craft room, and spending time outside in my garden... This is a drawing of what it looks like from my garden looking into my craft room window... Yes I have a house plant growing in an old teapot! Also, notice all the magical world just outside the window ... The hummingbird, the snails, the mushrooms, the squirrels, the raven... Spring is in full bloom in my garden and I LOVE seeing all the life bustling around me

and then everything was still and the trees started breathing and the birds started singing and the bees started buzzing and the fish swam through the clearest waters and then the sun and moon started smiling because the earth had started healing.

Fairy in Meadow. Pen and ink. Welcome to Meadowshire,

We just got married in January and it has been wonderful being able to work from home next to my husband. This morning he is looking up shelves to house all of his Star Wars and Marvel knicknacks. I sure do love him!

While the Metropolitan Opera is closed for Covid-19, the streaming a FREE HD opera video every day. For the past six days I have spent every evening watching the operas. I watch them twice, once for the enjoyment of it and then once again to make a few drawings of characters or scenes. This has been a wonderful activity for our quarantine! This is a pencil drawing of Count di Luna from Verdi's Il Trovatore, sung by the late Dimitry Hvorostovsky watched on my computer, March 18th.

I had seen the guy who had recently moved in next door. His window was just beside mine and that was why i used to keep the blinders on. I didn't even know his name and used to call him the LENNON GUY because he had a poster of John Lennon in his room. During these awful quarantined days i opened the blinder to let the afternoon sun in. It was then that LENNON GUY from his window put up a paper on which the followings words were written-"Hey! Wassup!". And that was how our friendship started. We got to know each other by scribbling answers on paper. He switched to a white board but i wrote on the back of useless printed sheets. So of course when i was planning the painting on the act of social distancing this came to my mind. I had asked him to pose for me so that i could refer. You can see him in my painting. i sent him the finished result(thru text because he couldn't see it well) and he wrote back,(on his white board),"i am more handsome". We do this window-talking whenever we have free time from online classes. His is very funny and sometimes a bit too arrogant. Perhaps if we weren't quarantined i would not get to know this adorable person living just a window away.

I love that expression *A blessing in disquise*/ So we need to be on the sunny side of things/ We need to be patient and calm/ That's why I think that a white tulip is a symbol of all good/ Do not give up and stay in harmony/

Being stuck inside is definitely a struggle for a lot of people. My sister has autism, so being stuck inside is a real struggle for her. She has a pet rabbit called thumper, he keeps her smiling every day & is also company for her through these difficult times. Which is where I got the inspiration from for my drawing.

Be safe & don't be down

Silence Amongst The Panic

The current times have given people the opportunity to look inward and reflect on their true nature, on what is truly behind the face they show to everyone else. There is a great opportunity and relief to be able to not have to wear a mask for awhile, and to re-assess what we are made of.

Top view from my building. Roads are empty as everyone has been told to stay at home. As a Designer to use something you used to use when I was a kid such as markers and colouring pencils was a lot of fun. Used line, shapes, colour, patterns and a lot of FUN! Thanks for the challenge.

A quarantine self portrait in my small Brooklyn apartment, appreciating the little things around me that bring me joy despite the isolation.

In this drawing i portrayed myself in this quarantine, the quarantine is symbolized by a dark room with only one lamp. I feel like melting and blue for being bored and tired of being at home.

Quarantine == Qualitytime. This is my life after social distancing. What’s yours? STAY HOME. STAY SAFE. KEEP OTHERS SAFE. LIVE AND LET LIVE.

The only city I walk about in now.

Quarantined Lovers It's hard keeping away from the ones you love. . .

Time for a little experiment: Which one will grow faster?

We have the best quarantine. Its a beautiful quarantine.

So the title of the piece is ' You Give Me Fever ' and it is based on my understating of how the Covid19 virus is transmitted, how quickly it spreads, the numbers of infected rise, and the consequential positive effect the human race being in quarenrine has on nature. I find it both scary and interesting to be an eye witness in these strange, unpresidented of times

I have been using ATC cards as my canvas recently as they are less intimidating as I learn to paint. My little snail has everything he needs to be as happy as one can be while self-quarantining: good books, a computer with a hot spot, and a couple of games to play while Facetiming (I'm not sure what he does with the Twister game, but that's what I wrote!). I'm sure he has some art supplies in there, too... :-)

Hello, This cartoon was inspired by need to self isolate myself after repeatedly trying to pick a fight with my sweetie. Sadly I only lasted three days of working remotely before this happened.

Social distancing reminds us all of how we can care for each other from afar.

A quiet place for art, reading and work.

"Time to Come Home." Earlier this month, in light of the pandemic, my job suspended operations and sent the ship's crew home. We are stationed in Hawaii. All the news was continuing to get worse so it felt like a good time to get off the island, back to the mainland, and back home. Mariners don't often get to spend time with friends and family so it's a bit of blessing. I don't know when I'll return to work but for now, it's a good time to be home and among loved ones. And yep, I do have a plushy eel. His name is Esteban. I got him from the California Academy of Science.

This piece is watercolor and gold leaf on paper. It represents the inability to physically touch or connect with people... like being behind glass.

This my favorite activity to do while quarantined do my art.

Quarantine craziness

Together gather we, all Malaysians can #stayathome #dudukrumah

I now have time to practice my watercolors, which is definitely a silver lining because I haven't had time for a while.

My studio is on the 3rd floor, looking out to an older stone home. It was very gray outside and I typically don't "see" the view as a drawing of interest. After working from home for a week, I saw the angles differently and wanted to capture the ordered chaos of the view with my candles and sculls on the sill. Stay safe everyone!

The mom was tested positive for corona virus so she was taken away and the dad and the son were sad to let her go.

"Shelter In Place" - @friedart Portland, Oregon

I can escape to a world without limits, all in one little laptop. An online community of real, genuine people, fantastical monsters and beasts, engrossing quests and dungeons, and so much more. There's no quarantine on the other side of the screen. #WorldofWarcraftClassic

I’ve been spending quality time with my plants and drinking lots of coffee while staying indoors!

hold-up, next episode: according to the rules.

Feeling a bit isolated, but able to “break out” with books, jigsaw puzzles, walks, and of course, doodling!

Trapped inside so long there’s no where to go.

In isolation, it can be hard to sit with ourselves and face all that we have been running from; but doing so feels freeing. Through our lockdown, I have rediscovered a passion for the stillness in nature and being emotionally present. I wanted this comic to be positive and contemplative; exploring innocent exploration during dark times.

Mushroom house.

This was drawn in the first week of self isolation and it's some sort of wish I made to fly away on another planet with my loved ones.

YO! STAY HOME! this is my entry for the call of #ColorInQuarantine

Video chatting on your birthday.

I stay home for everybody and my loved ones. Wish everyone safe from virus- covid.

My cartoon submission to the “Quarantine Quarters” challenge. This almost doesn’t seem real; thus, I chose to go with a simulation theme with a life remote. Stay safe.

Rewrite The Sky. Inspired by a song from The Greatest Showman, This Is Me. It inspired me to keep being myself despite what other people said about me. So this is me. I love to paint, I will keep painting, and no one can change that.

My first post on here. Thought it would be a fun challenge. This game has been my distraction from prolonged stagnation. SAD has caused me isolation from mid October to March, and this is one of the ways I get through everything going on. My internet is very broken, so I'm sorry if I double posted. I was afraid it corrupted my file mid-way..

Instead of going outdoors I stroll to the remote areas of the potato box in our kitchen (where we store onions too).

Don’t cut your hair during quarantine. 30 seconds later...

Art supplies are my comfort food. Organized. Parallel to each other. Pencils sharpened. Soft brushes.

locked in but winning

There's still a lot of uncertainty and fear surrounding the coronavirus. In order to stay sane and keep me distracted from the outside world while in quarantine, I created my own world-a world where I am surrounded by creativity and art. Cause sometimes you just need to make the best of things.

"AM ONLY HUMAN" - Watercolor on Paper - We, humans, are connected more than ever in this time of crisis, the irony is a strong need (to understand and be there ) for each other and contrarily, the necessity to stay away from each other physically. In the painting, the underneath roots define the strong humanely emotional connections, the above surface physical distance between humans/families and the line implements the unknown timeline of this phase we are going through.

David Carradine after many days in quarantine...

Even though I am isolated in my Quarantined Quarters, I still have all of my doodle friends with me. While things seem to be spiraling sometimes, my strange buddies always keep perfect composure.

we all feel caged right now, we feel we are not able to do anything. we feel things are not going right. but all this is in our mind. but if we think of beautiful memories which we have made with our friends , family, then it gives rise to the beautiful thoughts. the flowers of mesmerising ideas start to bloom. and we can use this to make ourselves anf others prosper. use solitude to find yourself. fight depression and let a way to our imagination.

Who is the hero now? We always admired heroes for those super powers they have: they fly, they climb walls and throw spiderwebs... in their (sorry, unreal) worlds that we might never be able to visit. But would there be a better super power than... saving lives? Lives of real people, people from our (real) world, even the lives of our loved ones, even our own lives. Imagine a hero that could save our lives, for real? We have had these heroes forever around us, but maybe because they didn't wear a cape we never recognised them... Well, maybe from now on heroes don't wear capes. Let's call them DOCTORS. We will be forever thankful, SUPERDOCTORS!

I have been busy sewing face masks for family, neighbors, health care workers. I also created this Public Service Announcement to urge everyone to do something to help in this crisis.

I've been catching up on a lot of reading and hoping I'd find parts of myself in these pages
