Colombian illustrator Andres Colmenares started Wawawiwa Comics in 2009 when he arrived at Miami to go to college where he didn’t know anyone and needed a hobby to pass the time.
He draws cute animals and humans but not all the reactions are positive. “It’s weird, but sometimes my human and animal drawing offend people,” the artist says. “I’ve done illustrations with references to religion or politics, and it got intense. So I just avoid both. They’re not my favorite subjects for the cute drawings either way.”
He’s not sure why his comic series became so popular. “I really don’t know; I guess people enjoy things that give them some kind of escape from reality and that’s what I try to do with Wawawiwa, create a space where people can have a great time and forget about their issues.”
