Looks like Covid-19’s got the entire world shook at this point. Rightfully so as this pandemic has claimed 7,177 lives with a staggering 183,319 confirmed cases worldwide as I’m writing this post. On a brighter note, about 79,908 people have ‘recovered’ and I put that in inverted commas because there’s no actual cure or vaccine for the moment but regular treatments to those infected have shown to help a lot.

You can check a live update of the current statistics involving Coronavirus but as the title suggests, this post is to depict some lovely illustrations done by various artists on ways to combat, prevent and ultimately keep yourself as safe as possible from the risk of getting infected. In troubling times such as these, it’s anyone’s guess how some people can craft the most breathtaking, sometimes humorous pieces of art.

Do take note that most of the following illustrations were commissioned by online publication Hypebeast in an effort to promote ways of dealing with the outbreak, dispelling false information regarding it and, most of all, to showcase the steps that each of these artists would and have taken in order to manage daily life in the current panic-stricken world we live in.

Wash up, tune out the noise, make some tea, then hit the projects and books you’ve been putting off.

“Social distancing” 〰️ Seems like we could all use a little extra (virtual) connection and support right now. I know I do… . Wishing you strength, safety and sanity as everything in our cities closes down and we stay quarantined in our little bubbles. . We will get through this separately and together. ❤️ My DM’s are open if you need someone to talk to. . . . . #socialdistancing #quarantine #efdot #illustration #illustrator #covid19 #coronavirus #hypebeastart #hypebeast #thedesigntip #handdrawing #palmlines #palmreading #ipadart #digitalillustration #makeitonmobile #procreateapp #opart #opticalillusion #humanart #handart #highfive #coronavirüsü #washyourhands #alonetogether #flattenthecurve #stayhome

‼️WASH YOUR HANDS ‼️As an artist, we typically spend a lot of time ‘social distancing’ with our long hours in the studio. As we navigate these uncharted waters, I hope people are able to use this time wisely in order to produce new work, plan for the future, or focus on a passion project. You never know what you may discover in these crazy times or what path it can lead you down. We will adapt and we will rise above. Stay positive, stay creative and don’t forget to wash your hands ‼️ – Spread the word, not the virus… – #gregmike #coronavirus #washyourhands #psa
