Moscow artist Anton Gudim is back on Bored Panda again with his satirical and wry illustrations. He takes simple scenes and transforms them into meaningful messages about our world and the society we live in. In his humorous comics, he makes fun of modern standards of beauty and popular trends and also creates trippy drawings with unexpected endings. You will probably have to stop and think about some of them.

"All ideas came from my surroundings. I just try to take a new look at regular things, I'm always in search of new ideas, always taking notes," the artist shared with Bored Panda.
