There’s a ton of information about how we can all help stop the spread of coronavirus, why it’s important to do our part, and what could happen if people choose to simply go about their business and usual.
Like, a sh*t ton. It’s overwhelming, some of it is hard to decipher (because we’re not all scientists) and also, it can be hard to tell which ones are the most applicable to us personally, and why we should care.
Enter artist Wei Man Kow, who writes comicsforgood.com.
. I’ve decided to put the results of my intense googling on how NOT to get a cold EVER again into a comic that can be quickly and easily understood by everyone, in hopes that no one will have to suffer from highly preventable illnesses. – Do forgive if some of the lines have been shaky, was coughing through drawing it, while chugging meds. Working on the comic did help me feel more sane/focused while recovering though, and a nice break from eating meds and sleeping the days away. – I’m thinking of doing a version in Chinese next. Let me know if there’s something related you want me to cover in an infocomic too! Stay safe everyone! . . . #coronavirus #maxpack #ourbetterworld #frankentoonbrushes #ipad #procreate #psa #drawing #illustration #cartoon #doodle #infographic #digitalart #sketchnote #design #instaart #comic #sequentialart #webcomic #covid19comicsShe was sick and researching the illness a few weeks ago, and found that many of the informative articles on COVID-19 were hard to digest. So, she does what every good artist tries to do – she used her talents to disseminate the particulars to the public.
I mean it. The illustrations she’s come up with would even help children grasp what’s going on, and she also adapted it into a handy, downloadable infographic.
You can keep it in your purse, you can print it poster-sized and hang it on your wall.
She’s also translated it into multiple languages, and urges you to email her at comicsforgood@gmail.com if you need help translating it into another language.
One of my favorite things about this whole pandemic situation (okay, my only favorite thing, but silver linings are hard to come by) is the people who are coming together, using their talents to make things easier, and simply showing the rest of us how to be better human beings.
. I created this comic as part of a group of launch artists for the #covid19comicsforgood #c19cfg challenge, organised by @comicsforgood, to help make difficult facts about covid-19 easier to understand for the public.

I hope this infocomic helped you with your own understanding, and stay healthy out there, my friends.
