In each figure of the Covid Memorial–a man, a pregnant woman, a ballerina, two kids– there is a round hole in their chest where their heart should be. They’ve lost a loved one to Covid.

Saw this sign in a yard while I was out walking the dog. In these uncertain times, I appreciate those on the front lines (such as medical staff, first responders and grocery store employees) more than ever!

After a photo found in google. There is not much more I can say about the model, other than what I put in the tags.
Somehow without meaning to draw a picture of the Pandemic this image nevertheless seems to reflect the social isolation and virtually removed world of the times we are experiencing.
Drawing from photos seems to be the most practical way for me to work these days and now since the Pandemic began it has made social situations like a life drawing class even more difficult to come by.
And yet, I do like the ambiguity of this composition: about what the source is and I would even say that was part of my intent... I feel that was one of the questions I had that guided me in making this drawing.
As far as things that were difficult for me to make decisions about here, the background took the longest for me to work out even though I started it first. It turned out to be a tricky puzzle of values.
In terms of influences, I feel the face, as I drew it, has a strong look of some of Tony de Zuniga's illustrations. Though, I did not consciously look at anything of his at the time.
Lietuvaitė is, as I understand, the lithuanian word for a female person from Lithuania. (and also, as it turns out, a brand name of rye bread from that country)
Don't normally do selfies, but as I spent the majority of these last 2 days in fit-tested N95, gowns, gloves, goggles, etc. And seeing how bad it is getting again, I just felt the need to ask people to please realize that the small discomfort of wearing a mask and the depressing notion of staying away from others. is more important than your rights. Please think of others.. It may be someone important to you.
In my area, it is much worse than the spring and it appears that it is going to continue to rise. It's only a few more months until we hopefully will have a vaccine.
After just 15 minutes, you realize how nice it is to just wear a shift mask. Try spending 12-13 hours like this.

Lately, I have been seeing articles that many companies are donating food, drinks, and supplies to front line workers. Indeed, those are great gestures to the people who work so hard to save lives and keep the city running.
I think what is also important is to show appreciation and love for their effort. A big thank-you and claps are equally welcoming as physical supplies. Stay safe and be well :)

I understand these two saved hundreds of lives before contracting the Z virus at work. It’s unfortunate for the rest of us that we voted for mediocre government representatives and put up with an overwhelmed health industry that didn’t do more to protect these healthcare workers, which in turn protects us.

Angela Barrientos, Children’s Librarian at La Puente Library, completes a face masks for LA County employees who are being deployed as disaster worker to homeless shelters or to provide childcare for health care workers in medical facilities. The librarians are following instructions from the Medical College of Wisconsin and using suggested materials and supplies.
Because there is a shortage of mask for people in the frontlines, LA County Library sent out a call-out asking for volunteers to sew masks. Approximately 100 people with sewing skills volunteered, and to 23 those people started to work at La Puente Library. By the end of their first week, they’ll create 350 masks. Once all 100 volunteers get stocked with supplies, they will produce 1,500 face masks per week. (Mayra Beltran Vasquez / Los Angeles County )

DHCL cited to be started by Lucy Spata when she moved to the neighborhood from Bensonhurst in 1986 no one on the block decorated back in the early 1980's Lucy started small with a snowflake and some blow mold light up soldiers then went bigger and the neighborhood caught on and joined in making it the uplifting display that it has gown to be. Lucy Spata first put up her display with 40 angels on her lawn to honor her mother after she passed away in 1986. In July 2019 Lucy's husband Anthony Spata passed away and had Lucy promise that she would keep on decorating for Christmas to which she agreed calling it a beautiful tradition. Lucy does not accept donations for the lighting bill as Spata does this from her heart wanting the children who visit to feel the warmth and joy of the season, if children visit at special time they can meet Santa Claus on the red chair in front of the home which is the same red chair where many pose for their annual Brooklyn Christmas photos, Merry Christmas from I Love NY!
