Christopher McCandless says that happiness is only real when it is shared, but Yaoyao Ma Van As, an artist in Los Angeles, doesn’t agree. She has made a series of colorful illustrations that celebrate the closeness of living alone to show this.

Yaoyao’s pictures stand out because of how well they are put together and how well the colors work together. And it shouldn’t be a surprise, since Yaoyao has worked on some of the most popular animated shows.

Yaoyao says on her website that she has worked on Rick and Morty (Adult Swim), Future Worm (Disney), and BoJack Horseman (Netflix). Do you like living alone, too?
