Hannah Hillam is a San Francisco-based illustrator who creates funny and quirky comics inspired by her mood and observations of the world around her. She touches on topics such as parenthood, artistic creativity, cat-raising and more that pretty much capture what her life is all about at the moment.

In this article, we want to present the newest comics Hannah shared on her Instagram account, which has reached a number of more than 800k followers so far! Every weeknight, the artist posts a little drawing of her life that brings a smile to her readers' faces. We hope that these illustrations will brighten up your day as well!

Hannah's comics started off and continue to be a visual diary of her life. In her interview with Forbes, the artist mentioned that she comes from an artistic family and all those creative examples had an impact on her life, pursuing a career as an artist. "Watching others create makes creating less daunting."

The artist has been drawing since she was little. She remembers sitting by a big wooden desk in front of a window at her grandma's house and drawing with her dad or his sisters.

Hannah's Instagram journey began in 2014 when she started posting a drawing every day. In 2016 she started uploading her first 4-panel comics. "It was grueling and included a lot of late nights and a carpal tunnel diagnosis, but I saw it through and it was ultimately one of the best things I could have done. I gained a lot of confidence in myself and my humor, and started seeing what I did as something legitimate."

This is why I had mine reduced when I was 16 years old. It was so embarrassing gym class when I had to do jumping jacks. I could only do them with one hand while my other hand held my boobs down. I was a size K cup, unbelievably hard to find and expensive! If you've been thinking about it ladies I certainly recommend it. It's so much better on my back and I can actually find clothes that fit.

Hannah likes drawing comics and loves it when they make people laugh. For her, it's kind of like a diary illustrating some parts of her life that other people can relate to as well. "What I’ve learned from putting it all out there is that I’m far less strange and alone than I thought I was and that we’re all struggling constantly and we can find a solace knowing that everything is absurd but that we’re in it together."

The full interview can be found here.

Way too many people. Why go to the mall when you can get everything online and conveniently brought to your house?

I don't get it. Isn't the tax system in the artist's country automatic? I thought that it was automatic everywhere. I do check mine every year, but it takes like 5min to check.

At some point in my late 30s, I realized hiring an accountant was worth what I get back in mental health.

I've never understood this, at least not for people that can expect returns. My wife and I file in the first couple weeks of January every year. Why wait months for (kinda) free money? People that expect to have to pay I understand though.

If she's a freelancer like me, taxes are utterly exhausting, even if you expect a refund, - and cost money to file. You have to track your earnings that come from all over the place - PayPal, royalties, some W2s, some Zelle etc. Then you have to enter your expenses - supplies, home office, figure out how much internet use was for work, how many miles you drove for work etc. This year I filed for an extension, could not get it done by April 15...

If I only work one job the whole year then I just take my last paycheck of the year and do my taxes on Jan 1st.

I always do them early now because that's the only time to get free file. You wait till March or April and everyone wants to charge you. Or, for the US, there's also the IRS free file program for eligibles.

Nope, not me. I always get a refund and I want my money back!

Keep more of it up front instead of loaning it to the gov't interest free. Better to pay a little at tax time than to not have the money you already earned.
