Infectious Art: Pandemic Pop Culture Portraits

2020. The year of stress and an upside-down world. In the midst of a global pandemic, what’s an artist to do? Create. In this book, “Infectious Art: Pandemic Pop Culture Portraits”, Mike Brennan set out to bring a little joy & levity in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. There were three simple guidelines for the project that become this book: 1. The illustrations must be related to pop culture 2. They must be connected to the pandemic (but in a humorous way) 3. The art must be portraits. Why pandemic pop culture portraits? Because pop culture brings a sense of connectedness in a current world of social distancing. It’s familiar and can remind us fondly of better days. So if you find yourself needing a little joy, a little levity in dark days, crack open this book and escape for a while!
