Bored Panda reached out to Maria to find a little bit more about her inspiration for art.
"I’ve loved writing and drawing since childhood, and never wanted to stop. My inspiration comes from wandering around and observing, being endlessly curious, and wondering what my dog would say to me if he could talk."
Yes to all of this except the dog ears. How could you damage the precious???
As we mentioned previously, Maria Scrivan is a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning syndicated cartoonist. Given that she had released two graphic novel series, one of them being "Nat Enough" (Scholastic/Graphix), which launched on April 7th, 2020, and was an instant New York Times Bestseller, and then the sequel, "Forget Me Nat," which published the following September.

I crocheted a little bitty Medusa doll once. Most complex thing I ever did. My dad took one look and went "MINE!" It's on his desk now. I hope his coworkers like it.
