The Devirs are ultimate #couplegoals. Maya and Yehuda are content creators who have found success through protraying relatable moments of partnership and parenthood in their comics. We sat down with them to talk business and business in the bedroom. Check out the behind-the-scenes video on the comic they did about their favorite LELO sex toy below!
What do comics achieve that other forms of content creation or art cannot?
The secret behind the success of our comics it’s the content. In our comics, we talk about true every day moments and memories that all couples can identify with in a humerus and honest way – with no filters 
What’s your favorite social media platform and why?
Are there any that you can’t get hyped on? We love all of our social media pages, our audience is in every single social media platform so we try to attend in all of them. Our main channel in on Instagram @jude_devir so we focusing the most energy on that without neglecting the rest of our community on different social medias.
What do you consider to be your biggest personal and professional achievement so far?
Personal achievement: Our baby daughter Ariel of course. Professional achievement: publishing our new book with the biggest publisher in the world Penguin Random House.
How has your content changed overtime?
Are there any unwritten rules that have followed you throughout all of your work? Our first and main rule is that every illustration has to be based on a true story that happened to us. That way we are able to keep the authenticity of our comics. Our main we to approach the stories in with humor – this is the key word. We look the humor in every situation. Thats our way of life. Today you will see in our content some stories with more serious approach but we still try to keep it light as possible for our social media community.
In your opinion, what’s the difference between a good content creator and a great one?
His courage to say what he really thinks and not what he thinks people will want to hear. Once a creator is true with himself and doesn’t try to please anyone, his work will be the most authentic.
Which aspects of content creation do you enjoy most? Which one is the most challenging?
We will start with the challenge: we both artist and content makers, and we both really good in what we do so a lot of times it take quit a bit to agree on how the final illustration will look like. The fun part is working together because every one has it’s own strength, artistic and creatively, and we know how to use it wisely to crate the perfect one frame. We are good team, and as an artist is very hard to find a good partner. Most artist work solo and we can totally understand why.
Do you separate your work life from your home life? If so, how?
We tray but it’s not easy because our studio is at home. And we basically make a living out of our personal life stories We do make sure to take a break from work every day when Ariel comes back from daycare until she goes to bed, then we go back to work…
When will you know you’ve “made it”? Or have you already experienced this moment?
We don’t believe that there will be a moment when we will tell ourselves that we have succeeded and we can stop work now, because we don’t see our comics as work. We really enjoy what we do and are thankful that we can make a living from it, which is an achievement in itself. The publication of our book with Penguin Random House was a point where we told ourselves “We finally did it!”, we had done something we couldn’t have imagined in our wildest dreams, but that didn’t stop us from continuing to do what we do. It’s another milestone for us.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from your career?
Persistence and faith.
Were there any career setbacks you faced that you later realized were an advantage?
