In the midst of our new normal lockdown status, we stumbled upon an Instagram page called Creatives Against COVID-19. Their premise was fairly straightforward:
- Have people send in images, illustrations, photos, sketches, whatever you’re having yourself, under the one brief: ‘Soon’.
- Create and sell prints of the submitted artwork
- Donate the money to Women’s Aid & the ISPCC
Looking at the images trickling in on their feed, we were kicking a few ideas around of what we could submit and eventually put something togethe,r only to realise that we’d missed the submission deadline.
Thankfully, though, after posting the image on Instagram, the folks behind the initiative got onto us and allowed us to make a late submission. So we did. Here it is below.
It’s available for sale over on the link listed below. So if you like the look of it, please consider purchasing it as the funds will go to two very worthy causes.

And if you’re not into it, there are hundreds more prints on the Creatives Against COVID-19 website, many of them – far superior to out efforts.

Update: The project did wind up in Summer 2020 and culminated in an exhibition in The Guinness Storehouse. We were delighted to see our print on display amidst all the other great entries.
