During the Covid-19 pandemic, I felt a bit disconnected at times. This is my Corona Diary.
I lost my job in January, but things looked positive. Several people contacted me out of the blue, and companies that I applied to invited me for interviews. However, if you don’t make it to the finish line, it doesn’t matter how many great opportunities there are. Unfortunately, I was often the second best.
Having to cancel all social activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I felt a bit disconnected at times. I couldn’t help getting gloomy even tough everything was fine in the safety of my beautiful home.
Luckily, feelings come and go. I got the inspiration boost I needed by listening to Elizabeth Gilbert’s ‘Magic Lessons’ podcast again.
This Corona Diary Illustrations project made me feel joyful and optimistic again. Sometimes it’s for the best to forget about productivity and just do things that are meaningful to you. Above all, I created a piece for all of the health workers out there. They are real rock stars and superheroes! I can’t thank them enough for the important work they do. I hope that after these crises, nurses will finally get the pay raise they deserve.
LUMI Accessories wanted ton share my 'Corona Diary Illustrations' on Weibo. Also, they were published in the ‘Grafia’ magazine (the Association of Visual Communication Designers in Finland).
“Wonderful! Wow!”
“This is really great. Lovely work from you.”
”Amazing! I love it.”
“Fabulous!”
