Reflecting on This Quarantine Life, a year on: An interview with Steven Walker and Greg Follender

Abstract

This is essentially an interview with artists and editors of the comics anthology This Quarantine Life, Steven Walker and Greg Follender from the Art Students League of New York. The interview centres on the journey from the inspiration to publish a lockdown-inspired comics anthology to the production process and catharsis associated with it. The interviewees discuss the challenges in both teaching and producing art during a pandemic, and dealing with isolation when one of the biggest and liveliest cities in the world locks down.
