I? created this illustration based on the effects that Covid-19 and the lockdown are having on all of us. I wanted to do something a little more uplifting though, so this illustration represents that feeling you get after seeing your friend in the park for the first time after months of video calls and voice messages. You feel that sense of calm and that everything is going to be grand.

I’m a freelance illustrator, author and comedian. I spend most of my time drawing, coming up with new ideas for projects and eating samosas. If you’d like to commission me for work you can get me at aoifedooleydesign.com or @Aoife_Dooley on both Instagram and Twitter. (No, you cannot pay me with samosas.)
