Artist Illustrates Everyday Life With Her Boyfriend, Shows That Love Is In The Small Things1/30/2018 Sarah Graley is the British illustrator behind the adorably geeky comics. Based in Birmingham, Graley lives with her four cats (Pesto, Toby, Pixel and Wilson) and "one cat-like boy," otherwise known as Stef, her boyfriend. And as you can see from her work, her quintet of housemates seem to provide her with infinite material for her sweet and quirky comics.
"I really love telling stories of the goofy things me and my partner get up to, and drawing - so it made sense to combine the two and start drawing diary comics!". "It's been such a nice way to document mine and Stef's relationship over the years." She works from a studio at home where she has a room dedicated solely to making comics. This artist has made a diary for her life with her family in comic form. What would you do to help you remember the memories you have had until now? Do you think drawing expresses her emotions and you get the feelings she is trying to explain? Technology as a Tool to Support Instruction By Lynne Schrum

I love this comic! It’s easy to empathize with, as I (and probably most people) have been in that exact situation before.

I read these all the time. I think these comic strips can be relatable which makes us connect over what we have in common.

I think things like twitter and facebook are great ways of preserving experiences because they are saved in a cloud. I don't do those too much, I mostly rely on taking pictures with my camera, then hopefully transferring to shutterfly someday. Oh I totally get the feelings the artist is trying to convey! I was so excited to see this cartoon because I always see stuff like this on Pinterest that I love, and I have no idea where the heck it's coming from. So I'm curious how Stephanie found out about Sarah Graley because this route is the new way artists reach their audiences and very little is known about it. I don't think my wife would try to manipulate me into getting up in order for her to be more comfortable in the bed. I just asked her about it, she said she would in a teasing way, and now I am realizing that's kind of the joke of the comic strip. It takes me awhile to get stuff sometimes. Looking forward to hearing how Sarah Graley distributes her work - thanks!

Maybe its because I am too young to understand this but I do enjoy reading the little comics that they have. The drawing style is enjoyable to look at because the expressions are funny. Can relate to it but enjoy what this artist goes through

I really enjoy comics like these. I think it can be a fun way for people to relate directly to others who are living similar lives. Being able to share these over the internet allows people to compare their lives to more realistic representations of relationships than movies and tv give us, and it is a beautiful way to document your life.

Hahaha, comics like these are fun and super relatable. I like the art style of this one, too. And it's hard not to be jealous of people who can make a living off of doing art at home. Very awesome.
