Yawatta Hosby teaches creative writing and how to draw comics in her artist groups online. She’s also taught at Push/Pull and the Feel Good Art School. She’s been a self-published author since 2013, having written over six novellas. Her short stories have been featured in horror anthologies. Since she loves drawing too, Yawatta decided to try her hand at creating a comic series called UNSCRIPTED–the best of both worlds.
In the meantime, she focuses on drawing mini-comics, zines, and comic diaries. Three of her comic diary pages have been featured in I DON’T DO COMICS, which is a comic anthology based in Canada. Her mini-comic, HELP US, was in Tall Tales, a WIP Comics anthology.
In February of 2021, she started her company, Draw With Yawatta, in the hopes of getting people curious about comic diaries. Her comic diary workshops are a safe place to learn about yourself as you experiment with drawing. A comic diary is just for you. Have fun. Have the courage to put your story down on paper. Have a desire to express yourself through words and drawings.
