I don’t know about you but one of the things I’m missing most in lockdown is hugs. I’m isolating on my own and can tell you that my last hug was on Monday 16 March. I’ve been thinking a lot about that feeling of relief that sinking into a hug gives you. I mean a really comfortable, warm, kind hug that makes you feel loved and safe.

I started drawing hugs as a way to comfort myself. Drawing always takes me into a kind of reverie anyway but sitting with a coffee and good music, drawing these is becoming one of my favourite things about these strange times. I hope they bring you some comfort too.
