This Canadian Artist Creates Funny Comics That Offer Funny Interpretations Of Everyday Life (30 Pics)
Interview With ArtistHave you ever ended up in random, absurd, weird or unexpected situations? Were they funny and joyful or frustrating and unpleasant? The webcomic "WTFrame" offers a good dose of fun stories with very unexpected turnarounds. The comics are posted on Thursdays and Sundays for the joy of more than 72,000 followers on Instagram. Behind the comics is Jean-Nicolas Bourdon, an artist and student from Montreal, Canada.
The creator of "WTFramecomics", Jean-Nicolas Bourdon, has a background in 3D animation and has been drawing and doodling for as long as he can remember. The artist told Bored Panda that he is studying cognitive science in Montreal at the moment.

"This might sound a bit corny, but when I was young, I had these Garfield comics and I would doodle similar comics of my own. Ever since I started seeing webcomics like 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' and 'Loading Artist', I kind of knew I wanted to make some. I pretty much always drew characters and illustrations. I ended up getting a degree in 3D animation, but didn’t really enjoy the whole thing as a career option."
In April 2018, together with his wife, Jean-Nicolas Bourdon started "Aspigurl", which is now "Lily Spectrum" and about six months later, "WTFramecomics" was created. The artist revealed that once he has a complete idea, it takes him from 1 to 4 hours to finish a comic. Being asked how he comes up with ideas, Jean-Nicolas told Bored Panda that he doesn't really have a method or anything. "But having ADHD, I'm constantly having random thoughts and making associations, so I guess this plays a big role in my process."
Even though it might seem that Jean-Nicolas doesn't have a lot of troubles getting concepts for his comics, he admitted that there are times he struggles to materialize his ideas. "I wouldn’t say "burned out", but there are times I get somewhat frustrated because I can't seem to translate an idea into visual language for a comic."
Some of the comics that Jean-Nicolas creates get into more "controversial" topics and that can get mixed reactions from people. However, the artist says that most of the reactions he gets are positive. When Jean-Nicolas sketches a comic, he finds a visual or a sequence of panels. He says that he likes this moment and it feels pretty good. "Just generally, the digital "inking" part is always relaxing (some would compare it to some kind of meditation, I guess)."
