In the past few years, drawing scenes from conversations I overhear has become my way of combining my love of satirical cartoons and creating an illustrated time capsule of this strange time we live in. Having lived in Los Angeles for the past few years, I've witnessed trends come and go. Hipster mustaches were replaced with man buns, yoga studios started to invite goats to their classes, and online dating became more hellish than ever.
I recently collected all of the illustrations into a book titled #ThingsThatIHear available here (enter promo code "PANDA" for a limited time special discount)
For more illustrations, check my other posts on Bored Panda here and here.

It was suggested that I add a picture to my profile with a pet, I didn't have one so I found a picture of me on a trip with a monkey. My fiancee picked me to talk to because I had a pic of a monkey on my shoulder. She wanted to know if I was afraid that it would rip my face off.
I have no shame when it comes to deep IG stalking. If you let me follow your IG, you can bet I'm going back to the paleolithic.
So if a vegan doesn't mention he/she is vegan and better than you in the first 10min of talking to them are they still vegan?
Spare undies, my toothbrush and a bikini in the hand luggage - always!
"The flavors in Israel are so full of conflict" ... just like almost the entire region over there
Paella is not from Barcelona, its from Valencia. I feel REALLY offended by this
I don't know if I understand it correctly, but.... everything tastes differently in different countries.
People travel the world but only care about what they eat.

The guy with the joint must have gotten his pot from the Head Shop three panels above. No wonder they're talking about food...they got the munchies.
My sister, who despises uppity people, would order a wine & pronounce it as it is written just to shock the waiter.
Wine names ARE pronounced like they are written. It is just that many people have no clue how to pronounce even the most common foreign languages ...

Ok i cant read any of these words. How are you supposed to pronounce them ;0;
"chou a la creme" its "two aaa laaa krem". Paella is pa-eh-ya. Ceviche its "Seviche" (they are both spanish words so, think about open vowels like A from Alabama, E from electrónico, I like Italy). Gelato os Yelato (open vowels as well). I know this cause un spanish and speaks french, Italian and of course spanish :) hope It helps

Enjoyed these. The artwork overshadowed the captions at times. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I really miss a comic about all the Instagrammers going to some famous place just to make a picture which only has been done about 1 million times before and all of them with the moron looking like a ..... moron.
Love the drawings! It really brings the people and the situations to life.
Amazing art style. Definitely would love to see this illustration in a gay animated romcom :)
I don't think they're all supposed to be funny. Sometimes people say funny things, sometimes they say things that you for some reason remember. Sometimes an overheard conversation just gives you an insight into somebody's life.
