I DREW NEW THINGS

 

For every American military casualty in WWII there were 8 casualties in work. Many times more Americans died in the factory than they did in the battlefield. And not just during WWII, every year work kills more than war, on average 2 million per year worldwide. Coronavirus has brought this into sharp relief, the low-paid workers being forced to risk their lives without the right safety equipment or hazard pay, or in the US, without the right to health care if they are injured or get sick while they work.

This painting is based on a sketch I did at art school many years ago. It’s available as a limited edition print from my website in standard square frame sizes.

 

This NHS PPE poster I designed has gone up in London bus stops thanks to Special Patrol Group. You can download a printable version from my website.

Last week I finished this companion piece to my ‘The Early Bird Murders the Worm‘ drawing. It’s a public information poster about the virtues of laziness during a pandemic, (among other occasions.)
