A quick experiment made days before Christmas while feeling sorry for myself that a bout with COVID meant I was quarantined away from my wife and then 15-month old son.

In between FaceTime calls and gift wrapping sessions to the ambient noise of Home Alone, I took to Illustrator to recreate what I missed the most.

“In fact here is just another ordinary day” is a lyric from Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” a regular go-to bedtime song at the time.
