Interview With Artist
Rob van Barneveld is a talented illustrator and comic artist from the Netherlands. If you love cute cats and feel-good moments, you're in for a treat. Rob's wordless comics series, Pussloose, takes you on charming adventures with an adorable cat living its best life.
The artist started his drawing career in 2016, taking a leap into freelance illustration. Pussloose has become a hit, and when asked about its success, Rob shared, "I think everyone loves cats... Also, my comics are textless, so every age and every nationality understands them."
Rob's muse? His own cat, Hobbes, a stubborn and lazy character that inspires the captivating comics. So, buckle up for more adventures with Pussloose, and as Rob says, "Thanks for all the support and awesome messages! Please keep reading my crazy comics."

Rob kicked off his drawing journey in 2016, always busy sketching comics. When he hit 30, he decided to explore the life of a freelance illustrator. So, he took a chance, jumped right in, and look where he is now!
Now, this one is us. Why should we move to the beat of some ridiculous soft can-opener? No hiding on the moon. No getting on the counters. It's nonsense! Our moon, our counters.
Creativity is a fascinating journey that everyone experiences in different ways. But, there are some tricky parts along with the good stuff. Bored Panda caught up with Rob again to delve into his creative journey. We were curious about the hurdles he faces in the creative process. Rob opened up about the difficulty of coming up with ideas that are not only enjoyable to draw but also resonate with others.
For situations like this, we need couches where you can grab one end, pull, and they extend out longer to add space for more people.
But there's also a lot of fun in being an artist. "It feels amazing to make something out of nothing. When it all comes together perfectly, it's like creating your own little burst of sunshine on a rainy day. That feeling is just so addictive," said Rob.
We disapprove of this. No bug is going to carry us away! We are mighty hunters! *presents the soft can-openers with a dead mousie toy as proof*
Navigating through creative burnout is a common challenge for many artists. So, we asked Rob how he deals with creative burnout and what he does to recharge when he needs a break from his art. Rob responded candidly, saying, "Taking the time. Going for walks. Reading books. And, of course, crying in a corner and pitying myself for having to be creative."
If you're an aspiring comic artist who is just starting on your creative journey, Rob has some advice for you! "Make comics just for YOU. That’s how it starts. Don’t give yourself so much pressure or follow art rules. Just draw and make things that make you happy. In a while, that will make others happy, too."
See how fierce we are? A few biscuits, and the monster's running.

Now the ocean is stuck not going anywhere until the kitty wakes up
I wish people worked this way. Easy to tell who you need to be careful / quiet around since they haven't had their caffeine yet.
We do have the best butts in the animal kingdom.
