Author Biography Vic Lee is an artist, illustrator, storyteller, wordsmith and mapmaker. Vic earned a degree in graphic design from Nottingham Trent and spent 14 years in graphics before beginning his art career in 2011 with limited edition prints of London streets. These hand-illustrated prints featuring buildings and typography sold out quickly, with purchasers become clients. He has since created artworks, including murals, for some of the worlds biggest brands, companies, and institutions, including Nike, Mercedes, JLR, The Tate and Virgin Atlantic. viclee.co.uk / @vicleelondon Review As the lives of all of us have played out over through the pandemic the book will be a great visual read for many as a reflection and reminder of what weve been through, via the lens of a visual artist who was compelled to take up his brush and document the worst global crisis of recent times. -- Derek Brazell * Association of Illustrators *One of The Most Anticipated Graphic Novels of 2021 According to Goodreads Members -- Tommy Williams * GeekTyrant *The book is a chaotic collage that hangs together because its apparent formlessness echoes the uncertainty of the pandemic, the need to constantly remain on alert. It can be tricky to create a memoir as you are living it, but Lee benefits because his circumstance is shared by us. His book is full of small moments of recognition. -- David Ulin * The Orange County Register *The 88-page book tells the story of the pandemic year — the highs and the lows, from clapping campaigns for front-line workers to toilet paper shortages and the vaccine rollout efforts. -- Victoria Craig * Marketplace.org *This diary includes news, witty observations and a little bit of comedy though it doesnt shy away from the lives that have been lost or the social impact of the pandemic. -- Neymat Raboobee * BookRiot *Created as the year 2020 unfolded, Lees personal and cathartic memoir conveys the ups and downs felt by people throughout the world—from the earliest news of an outbreak in Wuhan to lockdowns and toilet paper shortages to the growing numbers of victims, opinions and reactions. -- Holly Davis * Artists Magazine * Long Description An extraordinary memento of a life-changing moment in history, artist Vic Lees visually stunning, graphic novel-style personal diary chronicles his experience of the coronavirus pandemic as it unfolded.
