Silvia is a talented young art director and illustrator from Milan, who decided to explore the day-by-day paradoxes during the Italian quarantine with a series of minimal and funny drawings.
“Ever since I was a child, I always chose to laugh about weird, uncomfortable, or even sad situations. I like making fun of myself and I was hoping that by sharing my thoughts I would find people that could relate to my view of the world so that we could try and navigate these incredibly strange times together,” says Silvia.

Try reading. Sometimes I read until the sun comes up because the book is so good. I really enjoy leaving reality behind and living in someone else's shoes for a while.
“I think it’s a pretty lazy style - hahah - the truth is that I really want the idea behind the post to prevail, not so much the drawing, so I try to keep the overall illustration at a minimum. I’m a huge fan of the New Yorker style of comics, that’s where I mainly draw inspiration from, but also memes and general internet culture” says Silvia about her drawing style.
I've moved 14 flowering cactus inside for company. They really do cheer me up. :)
“Probably nothing, I live in the city so I miss nature a lot these days. Honestly though, I’m kinda worried that what’s coming next it’s going to be even weirder that it was during lockdown. Oh well, more weird comics am I right?” says artist when asked what she will miss about this quarantine.
There's this day, that day, the next day, another day, the day after that, the same day and the day before that.
My daughters hospital shifts are now Tuesday to Saturday. We are so confused.
It's me that i'm wating finally to go outside after 2 months of quarantine for haircut
I was putting up what day it was on Facebook for a few weeks, but eventually it just seemed pointless
when the weekend comes around, I'm underwhelmed because everyday is still boring
Not much of an issue for me since I am self employed and have worked irregular days/hours for the past few years... often don't know what day it is.
Indeed, with all the false info and claims and allegations and outright lies that are circulating
Ah yes, i'm waiting for a new one coming in the mail... fresh hoodie!
Is it just me or do I want to color in all of her drawings? (especially this face mask) lol
Oh man, I know I was awake before 5 this morning. The birds were tweetering and it was already starting to get light.
I'm antisocial and yet at the same time starved of social interaction. How does that work?
Don't talk about hair. I needed a cut just before lockdown but I wimped out. Thankfully I have scarves. Plus I bought a hat.
