Interview With Artist
Today we'd like to introduce you 3Palec, who is a globe-trotting artist, known for creating vivid, surreal comics and illustrations that show a glimpse of our society in an exaggerated way. Without a fixed country of residence, he draws inspiration from his travels and experiences around the world.
Bored Panda reached out to the artist and here's what he had to say about himself, "Currently, I am not tied to any country; I travel and intend to continue this way. Recently, I launched an NFT project, ENDLESSTATE, comprised of 10,000 NFTs. This project explores some of the most significant human topics: religion, society, politics, and war. What makes the project unique is that every detail within it carries a concept."

For this joke to work you have to disregard everything you know about how a ballerina is supposed to dress.
When asked, "How did comics come into your life?" 3Palec revealed, "I’ve never been interested in comics. It’s just type of art that can best convey a dynamic story in static. One illustration cannot convey the sequence of actions."
On the topic of his goals with his art, 3Palec said, "I put an idea into each illustration, but I don’t have a task to convey something to someone, because people see what they want to see, and I try to expose human vices." His art is a tool for reflection, rather than direct communication.
Questioned about his inspiration, 3Palec responded to us that, "People cause me the greatest interest. People in real life, people on the Internet, people in extreme situations... I just look at what is happening, draw conclusions and create my illustrations." He finds inspiration in the multifaceted nature of human behavior and life experiences.
Responding to the query, "Did you study to be the artist you are today?" he disclosed, "I have no art education. Today this is not a problem, if someone wants to be an artist, illustrator or designer, it is enough just to practice on paper or in graphic editors." He emphasized the importance of practice over formal education in his creative journey.
Finally, when asked about his frequency of creating comics, he said, "I draw comics with different frequency. I create sketches almost every day, but due to the fact that I am only interested in unique or unusual ideas, not all sketches turn into illustrations." He underscored the importance of originality in his work, not just productivity.
I don't see any problem with this. Who says males/transmasc/non-female-identifying people can't be "ring people"? :D
I know you wanna dance, baby! (I know you see me looking at you on the daily!)
When I was in Spokane during a heavy wildfire season (pre covid) I saw a man lift his mask to take a smoke lol
I wish that, in America, we allocated at LEAST some of the gigantic military-spending budget to supporting and caring for our veterans, especially disabled veterans. My dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam, and I had to fight tooth and claw to get the Veterans Association to provide even MINIMAL help after his accident. I know their resources are stretched thinner than an onion skin, and it's not my local VA branch's fault, but it was still frustrating af. Whatever you may think about America's military, and whatever one's opinion on wars, it still SUCKS that our veterans get effed over. Most don't go into the military just because they want to kill people. Most are just normal people who need a job/education (or both.)
LOVE IT!!! Scooter Guy probably didn't see that comin'! No pun intended. 🤣
The title of this one on the artist's Instagram is "Russians people". I don't know if I get the proper full cultural reference (I'm American) but I think I get the gist XD
Aha, I knew I recognized that knòb in the red suit. For those who don't know, this is a reference to a UFC MMA fight that occurred on October 6th, 2018. The two fighters were Conor McGregor (an absolute dumpster-fire ásshole waste of a human being) and Khabib Nurmagomedov, a fighter from Dagestan who is incredibly talented, hardworking, and, by all accounts, a decent dude. In comparison, McGregor has been arrested for reckless driving, driving without a license, and once literally ATTACKED a bus with a mob of 20 other people. McGregor threw a metal equipment-dolly at the bus, shattered some windows, and sent two people to the hospital. He has also attacked a fan and punched an old man in a pub. (That's just a FEW of the criminal things he's done. He has 18+ convictions.) I absolutely loathe McGregor, as talented as a fighter he may be. The good news? Khabib thrashed McGregor in UFC 229 and won by submission.
Claire - while the artist says they are a "globetrotter" and "is not tied to any country", I believe they are Russian by birth/origin. That would explain why a lot of their comics are a little out of the range of "typical" US/UK understanding. I had to go to their Instagram and translate a lot of their descriptions from Russian before I understood/got some of the comics... and even then, there are a lot I don't understand, because the cultural impact and influences are beyond my understanding. I can still giggle at the ones I DO understand, though!
