A Guide: 25 Tips for Survival in a Pandemic
Early in 2022, I began a series of drawings and paintings about the experience of living through the COVID pandemic. Almost as soon as I started creating these pieces, I knew they would become the artwork for my own pandemic survival guide, A Guide: 25 Tips for Survival in a Pandemic. Inspired by 1960s era pamphlets issued by the US government on how to survive a nuclear attack, this collection illustrates my traumatic experience of the pandemic, and reflects the futility of my measures to combat the anxiety and the virus.
Last year, I collected these images into a limited edition artist’s book that I designed and self published through a successful Kickstarter campaign. A Guide: 25 Tips for Survival in a Pandemic is a guide for our times, and like the cold war era civil defense materials it references, it communicates actionable, yet completely pointless guidance for surviving the unsurvivable.
