COVID-19 has shaken the world, but lots of spare time and the shared situation have resulted in creative pandemic-inspired art which helps us get through these challenging times with a smile on our faces. Oak Park-based graphic designer Josh Berta, 45, is passing the time in lockdown by reimagining the covers of classic and popular books for the age of corona, and the result is hilariously spot-on!
"The covers are just a personal project I started since we all started working from home. I was seeing a lot of COVID-19 memes and thought of the spin on Love in the Time of Cholera—Memes in the Time of COVID-19, photoshopped it, and shared it on Facebook. And then I kept thinking of others. I only shared on my personal Facebook feed for weeks, but then people started asking me to share them out more. So I moved to Instagram," the artist told Bored Panda.
Here's what book covers would look like if they were written today. Which one would you read?

Lol ... At "Their Eyes Were Watching God", I thought "Waiting for Godot", but my response wasn't as clever. Wonder if "Death of a Salesman" is down below.
