The idea for “#ThingsThatiHear” arrived when I was visiting a cookware store in Los Angeles. A young woman was looking at her phone and gave a big sigh, turned to her friend decisively and exclaimed, “He wants to go to Bali. But I say Fiji!” I couldn’t help but laugh. The absurdity of this “first world problem” was too much. From that moment on I started to catch all sorts of real-life conversations, that eventually turned into these illustrations.
The characters in the world of “#ThingsThatiHear” are people we all know: They are our office mates who complain to us about the daily grind. They are the awful online date we are trying so hard to forget. They are the people silently stalking our Facebook. More than anything they are the US when we think no one is listening.
Based on the incredible support I’ve received on social media I am inspired to create a #ThingsThatiHear Book!

I've never understood people who hate on super-positive personalities. I get that we don't always wanna hear the sunshiney comments, but there's nothing wrong with being optimistic and friendly.
so true. gotta love the personality that insists everyone around them be happy because they are.
She's right. When I stumble on an ex that wears eyeliner I always want to argue with them
The artist's name is AVNER GELLER -- I am going out on a limb to say that Avner is probably Jewish and not cruelly stereotyping these characters, instead merely illustrating them.
I love the art style
you have a great sense of humor... I love how Random sentences out of their Context sometimes seem so bold and strange.
Great, funny, illustrations . I'd like to see more!
