The artist shared her side of the story of how these comics came about with Bored Panda. "I’ve been drawing as long as I can remember, but started to draw my own silly autobiographical comics in journals about 10 years ago. It was a bit like my private diary. Then my boyfriend looked through them and started hassling me to start an Instagram, especially I was slowly learning how to paint digitally around this time. I suppose what inspires me the most for these comics—aside from whatever silly and funny things happen to me—is those little everyday moments in life I don’t want to forget that are so easy to."
The artist gave a background story and a behind-the-scenes peek of her relationship with her boyfriend. "We met over a dating app and went for a date to the Natural History Museum. We broke the ice by making silly and dark jokes about dating really, but it felt effortless to talk to each other very quickly! The first time we had texting online, we talked for about 8 hours into the night, which was surprising for how exhausting app dating can be! We have been together for about 1.5 years. It's not long yet, but we both just felt from quite early on we were just natural, easy, and fun together. We laugh a lot. The thing I appreciate most is that we support each other to grow. Since the meeting, I have become more confident, independent and do more things I have always wanted to (draw comics, learn Russian, some professional stuff...), which he encourages. I help and support him with his art projects and plans too. I asked him the question, and he said, ‘you’re one of a kind and my other half. You are as insane and weird as me, so we get along very well.’"
