Throughout last year, Illustrator Tim King was working on an ambitious project: to do a drawing documenting everyday life, every single day. Using ‘reportage illustration’ Tim captured the atmosphere, attitudes, and opinions of life as it happened. The 366 images recall everything from our changing perceptions of coronavirus as it developed, to panic buying bog roll, multiple lockdowns and major changes to just about every aspect of our daily routines.

“Not only are these snapshots artistically accomplished, they’re so relatable…”

– The Londonist

‘2020’ – as soon as you see this date, it means something. For many it’s symbolic of frustration, sadness, uncertainty and utter craziness. For others the year brought silver linings. It was a roller coaster ride – from the UK’s departure from the EU, coronavirus entering public perception and the subsequent lockdowns which changed the daily lives of everyone throughout the world. It’s a year we’ll never forget.

By doing one drawing a day, a year long visual narrative is created. ‘Drawing On 2020’ recalls not how history remembers last year, but how we really lived it.

This is the everyday story of 2020.
