The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and worsen globally in South Korea, Iran, Italy, etc. In midst of the depressing atmosphere, I seem to be getting used to these social-distancing days.
Continued my alternate working days in the studio this past week, successfully carried out a few “experiments” in translating black and white ink art using laser engraving/cutting and cnc machining. On other days when I work from home, I kept myself busy drawing cartoons. Art and creativity seems to help me weather the COVID-19 storm. Separating the digital fabrication work (logical side) and cartooning (creative side) seemed to improve the productivity of both sides, strange. Will continue with this new found routine again this week to see what happens.
Oh God, please continue to carry us through this pandemic, heal those who are sick and help the rest stay vigilant and protected from the spread of the virus. ??
The COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, whether WHO has the guts to announce it or not! There is seriously no denying of it as it has caused serious local community outbreaks in South Korea, Japan, Iran, Italy, etc.
Second week attending Sunday Service remotely from home. Under the COVID-19 epidemic, fellowship, calligraphy class and all social activities has come to a complete halt, feeling rather isolated even though I was never quite a social animal.
Worked home for another week to save on masks. Besides eating and sleeping, much of my time was spent going through a Chinese dictionary of 4-letter phrases and practicing Chinese calligraphy by copying the relevant words for a long unfinished project. The dictionary was a gift from my dad when I moved back to Canada after grade 11, he probably hoped I would learn some Chinese on my own, but I never really opened it until now.
The novel coronavirus is no longer a threat, it has taken root in our city thanks to our CE’s stubbornness in not closing the Mainland borders. A tenth of our city’s medical staff went on strike but that didn’t perturb our arrogant CE’s decision.
