Artist Keeps Illustrating Everyday Life With His Wife, And Now We Get To See Their Baby Daughter (38 Pics)

Tel Aviv-based illustrator Yehuda Devir and his wife Maya Devir have been documenting their loving adventures with their fans in the ongoing comic series “One of Those Days.” The series features exaggerated and very relatable moments from their lives. After Yehuda’s comics were picked up by Bored Panda in 2017, they became an internet sensation with an avid fan base and 5.4 million followers on Instagram. The couple was recently awarded with the Most Creative Content Maker award at the Inflow Global Summit 2019 Awards in Istanbul.

Bored Panda contacted Yehuda and Maya Devir to find out how their parenting journey is going. It turns out, the newly-made parents are as excited as ever! “We are experiencing a whole new range of emotions and feelings we didn't know existed,” they told us. The journey revealed new sides in their personalities that aren’t only positive ones. "We also have a lot of conflicts, but we grow from it,” the couple said.

After the baby was born, Yehuda and Maya had no option but to change their priorities: “There is no more couple, no more team at work... only Ariel.” In fact, the couple now works in shifts and is living under a new schedule. “It's a new life and we’re getting used to it. But not in a bad way. This experience is going to create a new and better us.”

The only not-so-easy part about being a new parent is not having the time for yourself. “We never go to bed at the same time.” Due to the coronavirus, they now do a lot of digital lectures from home, and they try to balance work and family life under the same roof. “Both of us need to be present in the lecture, so it's very challenging to switch from our parenting warm personality to our business mode,” they said.

Yehuda and Maya hope that when Ariel gets older, “she will see all the work that mommy and daddy have done for her and she will appreciate it. We hope...”

In an era where comics have become a window into the lives of ordinary people, Yehuda and Maya offer a peek into their parenting journey. They use humor and creativity to depict the ups and downs faced by new parents. Their artistry shines a light on the Rolodex of emotions that accompanies parenting, emphasizing that challenges are universal and every parent, no matter their location, experiences similar trials and tribulations.

For those curious about how they uniquely capture the essence of parenting, you can dive deeper into their humorous family scenarios.
