Martin Rosner is a rather popular artist on Instagram: over the years, he has amassed a considerable amount of 119K followers with his uniquely dark and peculiar comics. His distinctive approach and creative narratives have placed him in the spotlight among the social media platform's art community. Rosner's work frequently delves into grim themes and scrutinizes the more somber aspects of humanity. The environments he puts his characters in are often surreal, with narratives that tend to conclude in unexpected and twisted ways.
"I always wanted to create and comics have the lowest barrier to entry. You just need a pen and paper.
I treat the creative process as a job. I sit down, write out three drafts that don't have to be funny, good, or make sense, and work from there. It gets me over the road bump that everything I make has to be perfect," Martin told Bored Panda in his previous interview.

Given the chance, Bored Panda reached out to Martin Rosner once again! Rosner, who has built a name for himself with his funny and downright sarcastic comics, shared some new insights into his journey as an artist.
When asked about how he started his journey as an artist, Martin explained to us, "My journey as an artist, honestly, was less of a premeditated decision and more of a stumble upon a passion. I've always been a creative soul, fond of doodling, scribbling, and drawing in my spare time." He described his approach to comics as an extension of his desire for expression, stating, "Comics felt like a natural and appealing way to put my inner world on paper and share it with others."

I've been guilty of doing this. It took me a long while to realise the other person was wanting to help you out and by dismissing them it often hurt them in a small way. Accepting help, even if you don't need it, can help both parties in many ways.
Explaining his process when creating a new comic strip, the artist described it as a puzzle-solving endeavor. "The first piece is often an idea or a sentiment, something I've been thinking about or something that's resonated with me. Then it's about constructing a narrative around that concept," he shared. Rosner then sketches initial ideas and lines of dialogue, before finding the twist or punchline to add humor to.

I’m doubly jealous, not having the idea and not having that kind of boyfriend
Martin also shared with us a moment when his comics served as a personal mental health tool. He recalled a time when he was feeling low and drained and created a comic strip about Pokémon, specifically one where the trainer's Pokémon Charmander evolves into something completely unexpected (in the case of a comic - another Pokémon named Krabby), the metaphor behind it being the fact that sometimes you turn into something you yourself couldn't predict. "The reception to that comic was so heartfelt and supportive, it really helped me during a tough time. Krabby in that comic was meant to represent that sometimes we change due to the pressure from other people, " he said.
When it came to talking about the future topics he'd like to explore in his comics, the artist expressed an interest in a certain topic that has been on his mind for a while now. "As for topics I'd like to explore, I've always been interested in the concept of resilience - how we bounce back from hardships and how that shapes us. I haven't quite found the right way to approach it yet (given my content and how usually I portray my characters), but I'm excited to delve into it when I'll figure it out in my own head first."

This is how I act sometimes when I just lose it T-T I lost it on a “Hey Pandas” post and was like “oh of course. I’m stupid, you’re smart. I’m wrong, you’re right.” And changed the original comment that got everyone flocking to it saying “actually no, it’s this” “no, you’re wrong” “actually, that’s not how it is. Trust me, I know.” Now it says: this is me being stupid and saying stupid stuff T-T oh yeahhhh. Hopefully I learn to shut my mouth

The true tragedy of the Titan situation is the 19-year-old kid who died on that thing because he wanted to please his dad. :(

If you haven't read this story ("The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka), I recommend checking it out. It's a bit heavy, and pretty srs bsns, but a great story overall.
