TORONTO -- Tomer Hanuka, who has been an artist for more than 20 years, gave his third-year illustration students at New York’s School of Visual Arts a project prior to their summer break – to imagine life after the COVID-19 pandemic, in the style of a New Yorker magazine cover.
Each cover illustrated by the students imagines what they think life will be like after the pandemic and explores themes of reconnection, loss and nature – while incorporating the heavily stylized illustration themes the New Yorker magazine covers are famous for.“It was crazy, we didn’t know what to do – it was just shocking, it’s like it has its own momentum, its own organism expanding,” Hanuka said of his Twitter thread, which has been shared more than 34,000 times.
