Hello, I am Bert Musketon and I am a visual artist based in Belgium. I love awkward stuff or situations, so I came up with the concept of Awkward Flyers. I try to communicate a random joke in one image. I put in a lot of time and effort, to be honest. Coming up with ideas, printing the flyer, going out, and pasting them on the streets. But, it's super fun!

A few months ago, I shared part 1 of this post. Here is the long-awaited part 2 of Awkward Flyer.

I started this project back at home in Belgium during the COVID lockdown. Before that, I used to travel a lot. So logically due to travel restrictions, the project was also limited to my hometown. Once the world went kind of back to normal and travel started picking up again, I decided to book a trip to New York and give my project a bigger reach. New York makes so much sense for something like this. There are so many more people you can reach with the same amount of work.

    I need this. I spend hours at a time holding a door for random strangers, and I can't let go.

    For now, this is just a passion project. I don't make any money from this and I don't mind. In the future I see this project growing a bit bigger and I'd love to make some products with all those drawings I make for the project. One of my top ideas on my wishlist is a memory game in which people need to match up all these awkward drawings.

    Don't you first need to be given a card at all?

    I just love to draw. I've been focusing on digital artwork for the past few years with only a digital output. Awkward Flyer allows me to bring my work into the streets and get people to interact with it. That's what keeps me going.

    For now, Awkward Flyer is just about passion and keeping it alive. Because it takes so much effort to come up with these flyers every single day and paste them around. In summer it's all fun, but winter is around the corner and that's going to make it at least 5% less fun to go outside, haha.

    Is it just me or does this guy kind of look like Jon Lovitz? Or Dan Akroyd? Or Canadian comedian Brett Butt (yes, that is his real last name) of the show Corner Gas? I think I see Jon and Brett more than I see Dan

    Ahhh, the stick shift. Person with open hand grabs closed hand and acts like they are changing gears while making engine noises.

    A coworker always would say, "fist bump only, dude! It's flu season!"

    I once went to fist bump and the guy was walking away and I ended up punching him in the face

    I’m the opposite: I reach for a handshake and the other person does a fist bump so I just grip their closed fist in a handshake. It’s caused some problems.

    I want adults to stop normalizing the first bump. Especially with strangers. Stop it!

    I high fives my friend once when he was actually saying “talk to the hand” because I never shut up, yet I am an introvert, it’s weird, anyway, i high fived him and he said, I was trying to do talk to the hand and I covered it up by saying “yes but he’s dead now, I can’t talk to him so I have to talk to you”

    Is there a special deal for taking this workshop and the "How not to act disappointed when opening a birthday card and seeing there is no money inside the card" workshop together?

    Does the guy have misophonia? Because I know that feel, dude. It is very rarely a fun condition to have. Also, if that's cereal, where's the bowl?

    "Do you know a douchebag or loser you want to brand or embarrras with a gifted shirt? Call me now!" Unbeknownst to them, of course.
