As we are (hopefully) approaching the end of the pandemic, spring is in full bloom and the mood is more optimistic. While my sourdough baking days are over, I am still "baking" a new drawing each day. Since the start of the pandemic, drawing has been a great way to deal with stress. As a silver lining, I've rediscovered drawing again. After a long day of endless zoom meetings, it's refreshing to work on a small creative project.
I get inspired by literally anything: a toilet paper roll, talking to friends and family, online shopping, scrolling Facebook, or when reading the news. My original series was "before and after" focused on how our lives have changed during the pandemic, but since then, I've explored a few additional concepts. One new theme I've been excited about is inanimate objects that can talk to each other, for example, what if a face mask could complain to a toilet paper roll about its job? Or what would a chair say to a butt? I found that these objects are perfect metaphors for daily life (or maybe I am losing it from being in the lockdown for too long.) I also like drawing silly charts and puns.
I hope you enjoy this freshly baked batch of drawings! Previous posts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.

The toilet papers job still sucks more. Other than getting mouth mist, the toilet paper deals with some real poop.

Wait till you have to start putting real shoes on, that's gonna take at least fifteen minutes; you'll be drained before you leave the house 😂
So we should bear in mind that plagues, wars etc are as old as humans. We've survived worse and we can survive this. Be kinder to people and we can get through this Panda's.
Covid isn't the bubonic plague or WWII. If we don't get through this, I would lose all faith in humanity. All of it. But what you say is true. Be nicer, kinder, and we can get through this. :) Have a nice day!!!
@Noemie, you have faith in humanity? quite the optimist, I see.
Yes. Do you want to know why? Because we have done good things. I've seen good things. And we will do more good things.
how can you be kind to idiotic neanderthals who caused that this is still going on after a year instead being over in like three months tops
Sometimes, being kind can be very hard but just remember that our jobs are to put good into this world. Some people are very good at this job and some are very bad. It is important that we at least do our best at this jobs which not taking your anger out on other people, and instead finding other ways to release the energy. And remember that kind doesn’t mean being super nice and peachy all the time. Just think of all the love that you have inside of you that I know you are able to spread. I believe that you, like most people here, are a beautiful person with a lot of love to give. So be kind and give your love <3. Don’t forget to drink water and eat at least two full meals a day
sorry, not my job... if someone pisses me off I surely will take my anger out on him
I think that's ok, but eventually, let it go.
Wow, you sound very dangerous and have issues. Everyone posses someone off sometimes including you. Then again I'm not too good at detecting sarcasm so this might be your thing?
If you miss people I got the perfect cure: Just look at Boredpanda at threads about "customers, anti-vaxxers, covidiots, Trumpfans"
This quarantine makes me so tired unmotivated,etc.😥
