As my Facebook friends were used to seeing my urban sketches on my Face Book feed – when the pandemic broke they suggested I capture it in sketches as there would come a time when we would look back on the pandemic.
These sketches were done in South Africa so they show a particular flavour to the sketches.
I hope that the sketches allow us to heal when looking back on this time.

The unicorn mask
The beard hammock

The gate guard dons his face shield
Even the ice cream vendor wears his mask.
Even the supermarket workers wore shields
The medical sister is never without her mask – of course.

She was obviously better at shopping than he was
Man squeezing the tin – for ripeness?
Spraying hands and taking temperature wherever you went.
