I am a designer based in San Francisco, and I love to doodle during my spare time. I hear many words that amuse me during the day, not sure why, but they are just too funny. Perhaps it s a combination of being easily amused and having English as a second language. In any case, it s a good method to escape our sad pandemic reality and deal with stress.
For example, when my mother mentioned she is doing intermittent fasting, an image of a person putting a mitten over their head popped into my mind. Then when I heard thumb drive, I saw an actual human thumb driving a car. Same with Bluetooth (my daughter was asking why someone came up with this name?) - in my head, I saw an actual blue tooth transmitting Wi-Fi from a mouth.

Everyday Objects Inspired An Artist To Illustrate These Bad Puns, Here Are The 30 Best
According to an artist Irina Blok: “As 2020 comes to an end, it feels exhausting with a never-ending cycle of bad news and endless doomscrolling. It’s been a difficult year for all of us and my way to cope has been cooking and drawing cartoons.
I work during the day as a designer, and in my spare time, I started drawing the series that I called Covid Life.
I’ve also started another series called Pretty Bad Puns that’s more lighthearted and not related to corona. It’s a collection of silly “dad jokes,” as my daughter calls them, just making fun of words in English. I get inspired by everyday objects such as a coffee mug, bagel, clock, and others. Sometimes when I read the news, all of a sudden, I see some words like “salad dressing” and imagine that salad is actually dressing in clothes. If I have the idea, I grab the iPad and draw it really quick.
My name is Irina Blok, and I am a designer based in San Francisco. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, we ve had to adjust to living in the new normal. Everything has changed dramatically, from working to socializing and doing daily tasks. I myself have been working remotely for almost a year now, and all my travel plans and vacations got canceled. As a silver lining, I ve had a lot more time for creative hobbies, such as cooking and drawing. One day, I started drawing cartoons to help blow off stress, naming the series Covid Life. One of my first cartoons was about highlighting the absurdity of doing multiple tasks, like going to a doctor, socializing, working, etc. all from the couch.
