Work Chronicles: Artist Illustrates Situations In The Workplace Most People Working In An Office Will Relate To (25 New Pics)
Interview With Artist
One can say a challenging journey is becoming an employee of a corporation. It could take some time for you to adjust to the workload, make every effort to meet deadlines, deal with stress, or just... have the ability to get along with your coworkers (even if they aren't quite nice).
But working has advantages as well. You need to speak with a variety of individuals at work. You can gain a lot of knowledge and get better at things you are not good at, like group projects.
Even so, working might sometimes be frustrating, but it can also be entertaining. That's exactly what the "Work Chronicles" comics portray. These comics are written by an artist that is extremely passionate about both art and drawing. After working for a while, he heard and witnessed numerous amusing things happen in the workplace, so he made the decision to illustrate those experiences through comics. "Work Chronicles" have been previously featured on Bored Panda and you can find part 1 and part 2 by clicking here and here.

Bored Panda reached out to "Work Chronicles! with some new questions! When asked about whether or not the author has any new upcoming series, here's what they told us, "I have plans for a book and short videos, but I haven't been able to work on it till now. But fingers crossed."
This series from the artist is rather popular so we were curious to find out if they had a favorite piece from this project. "There are many! But if I had to pick one - it has to be prevention vs cure. It's an illustration of a concept by Shreyas Doshi. It has minimal dialogue and illustrates a very important concept."
The art style is really important for a lot of artists, however, that doesn't mean that they stick to only one of them. When asked if they wanted to try anything new, and here's what the artist shared with us, "I don't think so much about my art style as much as my content. I would want to make some short animation videos."
All those words mean "we expect you to do twice the work for half the pay. No overtime but you will be working more than your contract says". Run, while you still can.
The artist also shared some advice with those of you who might be just starting out in your art journey, "Start making the webcomics. You learn by doing. If you're starting with a webcomic, be more obsessed with the script rather than the art. By script, I mean the dialogues and the placement of the dialogues between different characters and panels. The dialogue should be crisp. No fluff. People don't read lengthy paragraphs. A poor drawing with a great script is far better/more enjoyable than a great drawing with a poor script."
This. I hate that. I quit a job once where my boss tried to pull the whole office productivity down with this.
When we look at a piece of art, what happens is that we usually perceive some sort of emotion, whether it's positive or negative is entirely up to us, but in the end, the artist still has achieved a certain goal - a reaction. We asked the artist to share with us what they'd like for people to take away when looking at their work.
"I want my comics to make people feel heard. That you're not alone in the crazy experiences you have at your workplace."
By (OK _my_) definition the intern is there to _learn_. To make mistakes and gain knowledge the should not be expected to be as productive as any engineer......
I could not stand scrum and sprints. Meeting after meeting after meeting. And meetings about meetings.
I've heard that instead of saying "uh" or "um", you should take a sip of water or(if you have no water available), you should take a meaningful pause.
