64 Brutally Honest Comics About Adulthood By A 29-Year-Old Creative
Meet Mari Andrew - a 29-year old DC-based writer and illustrator, who creates brutally honest and funny drawings inspired by her adult life. Ever since September 2015, she has been uploading pictures of her cool drawings to Instagram each day.
"I was sort of depressed and found myself going home just to watch Netflix way more often," Andrew told Business Insider. "I wanted a creative hobby, so I thought illustrating would be an easy, enjoyable way to document little moments from my everyday life."
Now, Andrews shares her comic strips, showing the harsh realities of adulting, with more than 40k followers on Instagram. She's featured every topic from dream boyfriends to the people you meet while traveling and all the funny problems in between. Take a look below.

Many of these are relateable in single situations. But the dose does it...obviously, the artist is very self-reflected, intelligent, and critical, which makes many of the drawings rather depressing. When browsing through I thought after a while: if you realize that there are so many imperfections, and most come from the own attitude towards things in live, why not go the extra step and at least try to induce a change? I believe it is worth it.

Hi Hans! Actually, I did make a major change in my life by becoming an artist when I was at a low point! It totally was worth it, you're right! -Mari
