Tara Tayyebi Fard's avatar

Thanks Margreet! I almost feel bad for the veggies, but then I'm not sure if the ice cream is enjoying my company either 🥹🤣 Oh well...

These are fantastic, Tara, as was your interview!!

Ah thanks so much Andrea! I'm quite pleased and slightly surprised that I didn't say anything too inappropriate on the podcast 😌😂✨

What a brilliant series Tara! I was laughing out loud into my breakfast! Had to show the rest of the family, these are so funny and well observed 😂 ,

favourite is definitely the mosquitoes view of you as 🥤 , and the self view. Hilarious

Tara Tayyebi Fard's avatar

Ah I'm so happy to hear that 😍 Thank you so much Jay! The mosquito one and the delusional self view were both really fun for me to draw too!

I'm curious what your family thought of these. Do you perhaps have children, and if so, how did they connect with this series? I'm often asked to make more "kid-centric" stories, but it's a bit tricky since I don't have any kids around me at the moment.

Thanks again for your lovely comment. It genuinely made my day 🥰

Well I don’t have any little kids at home anymore, and my oldest daughter who’s 28 and husband, who I was showing them to just loved the humour in the pictures and very much identified themselves in the viewpoints. I guess we all would like to think the world revolves around ourselves in occasional indulgent moments 😂. I agree it would be fun to show these to some younger kids and see at what age they begin to get the jokes. I think we’d be surprised with how early that turns out to be ….

Tara Tayyebi Fard's avatar

Yes I completely agree with you on that! I think it's also important not to dumb things down too much for children.
