Welcome to Pup’s life!

I'm Réka the illustrator of Pup's life comics. I’ve enjoyed drawing small doodles my entire life, but haven’t really thought about an artistic career before. My wonderful husband encouraged me to pursue my passion, and with his help writing the stories we together embarked on a journey to create the comic strips about an idea we had years ago.

Pup is our first, very real dog, about whom this series is about from the very first moment he entered into our life with his four little furry paws many, many years ago. He is the inspiration behind every little funny story on the pages we made, making sure we will never forget his silly nature. Pup's story is meant for me as a vessel for practicing my artistic skills, so apologies for styling differences within episodes 🙂

We initially started several years ago, but just when we started showing the progress to the world, the long-awaited birth of our daughter, then nursery closures due to COVID, then a relocation to another country broke this initial momentum almost immediately. But now after a rather long hiatus I finally picked up the pen again to record as many funny little events as possible.

Drawing this comic book is a learning process for me, the fulfillment of an idea it's been planned for a long time. My husband is a really big help in casting the stories into comic book form. And with your support I have the opportunity to continue Pup's story as long as possible and, in addition, I hope it is getting better quality, as well as I can implement additional comic book ideas in the future.

Thank you for joining us on Pup's weekly adventures and we hope you’d have as much fun reading it as we had making it.
