Cartoonist Mari Andrew appears at JCCSF on Wednesday, June 6 at 7:00 PM.
From writer, illustrator and Instagram sensation Mari Andrew comes Am I There Yet?: The Loop-de-Loop, Zig-Zagging Journey to Adulthood. With her signature illustrations and essays, Andrew captures the feelings and comical complexities of navigating adulthood. From creating a home in a new city, to understanding the link between a good hair dryer and good self-esteem, to dealing with the depths of heartache and loss, these tales of the twentysomething document a road less traveled – a road that sometimes takes you exactly the way you’re meant to go. Organized by universal themes of becoming an adult – including loss, adventure and ambition – each chapter shares Andrew’s personal experiences in never-before-seen essays, accompanied by illustrations.
Mari Andrew discovered a love of doodling while working in a bakery where she took some creative license with the display case labels. When she realized she could use her hobby to connect with people, she began to chronicle her work on Instagram and quickly became a success, with close to 800,000 followers and counting.
