I create semi-daily cartoons as a hobby and publish online. With the coronavirus outbreaks and the shelter at home orders, my focus has naturally shifted to the effects of that on daily life.

My family - including my wife, two kids, and several pets - lives in San Francisco, and the Bay Area was one of the first in the US to go on a widespread shelter at home order. It’s been a huge disruption and adjustment, but we’re figuring out how to live in this “new normal.”

Luckily it’s given me some more free time to devote to my cartooning, which has allowed me to post new cartoons every day (sometimes a couple a day!) It’s great to have the creative outlet and to share the emotions, fear, uncertainty, and humor with others.

Connecting with others and sharing the experience is a great way to make this all a little easier as we figure out how to get through it. I’ll keep creating and posting online via my social media channels and on my website.
