The artist also draws some relatable, lighthearted comics as well, however, with things getting pretty rough out there, Maaike tends to focus on tougher issues. In an interview with Bored Panda, Maaike shared: “With all the horrible things happening in the world (war, climate disasters, political changes, etc.) my comics have become even more political. At the same time, I’m also drawing more fun stuff because I could use a break. I’ve just joined Comictober and am now drawing a lot of Halloween comics.” More info: Instagram | Facebook | maaikehartjes.nl She wrote: “I’m drawing very personal comics about my life and everything that interests me. It can be autobio or political or both, but in the end, I draw what’s on my mind and what’s important to me.” After some work, I take a long walk, make some mistakes, and when I get back I continue drawing. In the evening/at night I finish the comic I plan to post the next morning.” “I’m touched by all the people who share my comics, especially the anti-racism and political ones. Someone recently told me they saw my work used in an anti-racism presentation, and I felt so honored.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
