Artist Illustrates the Struggles of Aging That Adults Can Relate to

Clare Kayden Hines, an artist from California, started drawing after she got her first dog named Buttercup. She got so obsessed that all she wanted to do was draw her pet on every paper she could find.

She eventually explore other subjects other than dogs and taken a few drawing lessons. Most of the time she just doodled for fun and her classmates noticed her drawing in class and would ask her to draw photos their dogs for them.

She started doing comics series in October 2017 while working at a large tech company. She created an illustrated alter ego, Kayden Hines, who was her comedic release.

“I started illustrating Kayden as she went through various awkward, ridiculous, mundane, and frustrating life scenarios. There’s something so funny to me about our constant battles with ourselves to be functioning human beings,” she told Bored Panda.

Clare shared the relevance of comics to her by saying, “it is my way of finding humor in the most mundane aspects of life, and making them universal and relatable. My goal—beyond my account being a creative outlet for me—is to make people feel less “alone” by seeing themselves in my posts.”
