Yehuda Devir is a content creator and artist extraordinaire hailing all the way from Israel. Alongside his beautiful and equally talented wife, Maya Devir, Yehuda is co-creator of the hilarious and relatable web comic, One of Those Days. The extremely popular comic series, now also turned into books, follows the lives of Yehuda and Maya as they navigate this crazy world, from being a young couple learning the ropes of love, to becoming parents for the first time and beyond. Audiences worldwide cannot get enough of the extremely relatable stories the creative couple write as well as Yehuda’s extraordinary illustrations, earning him an enormous 5.6 million followers on Instagram.
Born and raised in southern Israel, Yehuda discovered his gift and passion for art at an extremely early age. He would paint the walls of his bedroom as a young child, but instead of the usual childish scribbles normally seen at that age, Yehuda showcased an amazing creative gift. His father encouraged and nurtured his talent by whitewashing the walls every week, allowing a young Yehuda to create on a fresh canvas regularly. He was very much influenced by American comics as a child, which shines through in his work today.
Yehuda eventually studied Visual Communications at Bezalel, the Academy of Art and Design, in Jerusalem, and met Maya whilst both at military service. The pair immediately connected creatively and developed a wonderful friendship and partnership. Now, many many years later, the successful couple reside in Tel-Aviv, where they both work on One of Those Days, as well as regularly provide lectures and workshops for anyone and everyone interested in their creative and professional process. They also have a full line of merchandise including toys, clothing and prints.
