Hug
hugs; unity; social distancing
The artist's signature boxy stick figure with arms stretched out wide for a hug, accompanied by text reading "hug." The figure is is rendered in black and white against a colorful background. Although this is already the artist's signature work, the hug takes on new significance of social distancing.
My Dog Sighs
From Laura Adams: "My Dog Sighs has created a series of ‘hug’ posters that he is dropping as free art drops all over his home town, posting some out too, and also did a big mural of the same ‘hug’ design." From his Instagram on 2020-03-30: "In these socially distanced times, it seems a hug is a luxury that has been taken away from many. In order to address the balance a tiny bit, over the next 50 days I’m planning on ramping up my #freeartfriday giveaways and will be leaving one hand painted Everyman out every day, either on the street (as part of my daily exercise) or as part of a postal online giveaway. In order to minimise risk to everyone, I will not be posting clues. I’ll post pictures of them a few days after they were left to ensure they’ve been ‘stumbled across’ while sensibly following government guidelines on physical exercise and social distancing. (They’ll be placed out with gloves hands). Keep an eye on my social media for opportunities to win a free hug. #besafe #hug #hugs #everyman"

Untitled (Shrek-Trump-Virus)
Trump; virus; humorous; satire
A depiction of Trump as Shrek with virus nodules protruding from his head. This image is both cartoonish and highly naturalistic at the same time, as it perfectly captures Trump's typical facial expression. The image is painted on a door, and adjoining sections of the wall appear to be painted by other artists/writers. Text reads "COUFEFE-19."

Untitled (Big Sneeze)
sneeze; droplets; contagion; disease spread; social distancing
A tightly-cropped image of a woman caught mid-sneeze, expelling gigantic droplets. Given the position of the wall (perpendicular to the pedestrian pathway), the artist creates the illusion that the droplets are infecting people passing by. In this way, the viewer is called upon to reflect on the importance of social distancing,

Thank You NHS
heart; tribute to healthcare workers; NHS; medical; life; beating heart
A heart painted in Jimmy C's characteristic pointillist style, positioned over a EKG line. Shades of blue with dots of light evoke a nighttime sky. Text reads "Thank You NHS"
James Cochran/Jimmy C
From the artist's Instagram: "A blue heart for all the NHS staff who are working tirelessly during this challenging time. We show our love and support.
This idea to paint a blue heart was inspired by a 11 year girl called Tamara McAuley from Suffolk who started a campaign to show the NHS how proud we are by displaying blue hearts in windows. Her mother set up a facebook page 'Blue hearts for NHS' to showcase all the beautiful blue hearts made by the children and friends. When I saw this I knew I had to paint a blue heart too!
