HOSTAGE - POLITICO
“Drawing our new normal”, how artists from all around the world are feeling about quarantine.
"As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps through Europe and beyond, jobs are drying up as offices shutter. We’re working at home, often in isolation — something freelancers are already quite familiar with. But it’s not all bad: In crisis, as often happens, we’re finding community where we might not have looked previously. POLITICO reached out to dozens of artists around the globe and asked them to draw what they’re seeing and feeling.”

“I’ve never seen the city so quiet. Everything is locked down except for supermarkets and pharmacies. As a freelance illustrator, I usually work from home, so not much has really changed for me, though the other day I was reminded of the restrictions placed on everyone: I went outside for a run, and the police turned me right back around.”
