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 1Part  2Part  3Part  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.

    No introvert would say this. My life actually not changed a lot since the pandemic.

    Yeah I've loved being away from people! but there are apparently different levels of introverts. Like some don't like socializing period, while others just recharge from being alone but they do like to socialize sometimes.

    Nope. My life is exactly the same as pre-pandemic, except it is actually easier to avoid people now! More places deliver - everything - and it's a lot easier (and acceptable) to be a hermit. Win/win for me.

    Ha no it's more like: Before Covid= I hate people After Covid= I hate people more because I've realized how utterly stupid half the population is.

    Nope. Obviously you have no idea what an introvert is made of! The "during covid" is rather: "what a wonderful life! I love it!" =)

    Nope COVID has made me hate people even more. They couldn't even follow simple instructions because they are too selfish and entitled and now we will be in a pandemic for a long time. Perhaps the virus should just erased all of human life we are the real virus to the planet.
