30 Of The Most Unapologetic Comics By This Artist Who Believes In Laughing At Everything
Interview With Artist
Society has lots of issues and that is no secret. Lots of artists create art connected with those issues: to spread awareness and to talk about the things we have to change so the world can become a better place for everyone.
That is exactly what artist Domien Delforge does. This comics artist and illustrator creates art about toxic masculinity, gender stereotypes, women's issues, and many other things. His art is sometimes dark and twisted, many times having sexual and political themes. However, Domien manages to capture your attention, and not only make you laugh, but also make you think.

Domien told Bored Panda: "My father always said: a dirty mind is a joy forever. I love that. But in general: it is about the importance of humor and being able to laugh with practically everything. Making jokes is important to bring messages with a more serious tone to a wide public. And laughing with everything is important to fight censorship because censorship these days is a global enemy to a lot of people."
Domien Delforge told us what inspires him to create art: "Almost everything that is happening around me. During the day, I work for a bank, something most people consider to be rather boring. It is a fact that working for a bank means following a lot of rules and regulations. I always think that following these rules during the day frees my mind so I can create them at night. Making illustrations, there are no rules and everything is possible."
I find people often do this to show that they disapprove of masks, while still wearing one as a way to abide by regulations.
The artist shares what got him into art: "I was always interested in art, especially pop art. We had a huge Lichtenstein print at home when I was a kid, it always fascinated me. My wife has been making illustrations for a longer time, so we had everything in our home to make them (computer, Wacom tablet, software, …) A few years ago I was bored at home and started playing with it. After a few months, I started an Instagram page to share it and that was about the start of it all."
a kiss is a kiss love is love like df we have bigger problems in this world
Domien told Bored Panda why he chose to create the type of illustrations he does: "I like to find the balance between happy and playful colors, sending a message that can be political activism or just dirty-minded. Spreading a message in a playful way makes you able to reach a wider crowd. Also: I’m not the best illustrator ever, so my style also represents the lack of pure illustrative talent."
Domien describes his art as pop-arty, cartoonlike drawings. The artist mentioned that they are best understood by someone with an open and especially dirty mind. Domien described his style of drawing as simple and clear with a lot of influence from pop art, dot work, etc.: "I want my works to be clear in less than 5 seconds, that is what I aim for."
Domien told us how he comes up with the ideas and the themes for these illustrations: "Sometimes out of anger if something comes up in the news, sometimes an image just appears in my head. Happens a lot just before I go to sleep, laying down in my bed. I always send an e-mail to myself at that time so I don’t forget it. Happens a lot that I wake up in the morning and 5 random e-mails with random words show up in my inbox. I then try to re-make the image in my head."
I think he is absolutely right. Touching below the armpit, like shown on the left, makes your hands sweaty. Better to touch on the shoulder, like shown on the right.
It's a matter of mind you own damn business. My displays of affection are not for your entertainment!

Exactly. I'm bisexual, and women loving women IS NOT PORN. Do not sexualize us just for loving who we love.
Omg I relate so much. People think you're with women for attention- and if you're with a man they think "so you're straight now! Sorry you no longer qualify for our book club" I get it if someone thinks it's hot but that doesn't mean it's more or less hot than any other couple and we're certainly not there to entertain others.

Or maybe it could be that straight men find women in general (physically) more appealing than other men?
One of my professors (male btw) once told us in a man's brain, they are thinking "If they are having that much fun without a guy, imagine how much fun they would have with me, a guy." Yes it's sexist and yes men are basic and dumb when it comes to a lot of stuff.

Yeah, so. Y'know. Why would you stare at a couple making out? Do not stare, it's rude. Mind your own business. Doesn't matter which gender you're attracted to, you still shouldn't stare them. I bet none of you would like, if bunch of randos kept staring at you and your S/O like your life is for their entertainment.
I don't care about gender and orientation. As far as In am concerned, light PDA is ok; heavy petting and wet, slurping noises are gross.
My feelings exactly. Even in movies when they kiss and it makes that stupid smacking sound. Vom.

I feel a little uncomfortable about long or involved PDA regardless of who is doing it but it has to be pretty over-the-top to make me think "gross". One of the things I get irritated about when people get upset about homosexual couples is that they are thinking about those people having sex. I like to point out that if they think about that and are thinking it's "gross" then what do they think about when they see their parents, or grandparents, or other male/female couples they know? Yeah, just stop thinking about what other people are doing in the bedroom with their partner. :-)
Exactly. I dont like too exagerated kissing in public (like making out). But I dont care who does it, I simply feel uncomfortable qnd its my problem not theirs. The people who say that a gay kiss is gross or not appropriate for kids its the same people who is fine seeing hetero couples kissing or even having sex in media.

If you have such a strong, visceral reaction, exactly what are you afraid of? You're safer than you know.
Personally I would rather NOT see any couple kissing, unless it is a quickie, Goodbye
why should other people care anyways, its two peoples mouths touching
I'd like to see the porn browsing history of traditional Republican politicians. How many of them oppose gay marriage, but enjoy same sex videos (either gender). I bet a lot are like that. Bunch of hypocrits. They consider same sex people in porn as jerking off material, but not as people who are deserving of love and relationships.
It's a matter of perspective, men kissing grosses me out,not that I have an issue with gay guys. Women kissing I find hot, but thats just me. Who a person kisses is there own business
He is not right either way. Lesbians dont care to be a man's fantasy. He is homophobic towards the men and a pervert towards the women. No lesbian wants a man drooling over them, just like a straight couple don't want anyone drooling watching them kiss.. Well depends on the couple I guess
To those asking 'why is my preference a problem', the issue is that NEITHER of these scenarios is FOR YOU. Lesbians kiss because they like each other. Same for gay men. Same for hetero couples. NONE of that is for you. Men like to fetishize lesbian couples which is why two women making out is hot.
For the record, I understand people can't help what they are grossed out by or attracted to, but I do believe it is healthy to ask if it might be a double standard and evaluate where those feelings are coming from. Further I don't care what people think, but if they say out loud "that's gross" you will get karma'd.
I personally don't mind if people think it's hot but I do have a problem with double standards and thinking others are there to entertain you
Western men only think the second one is "hot" because they've been conditioned to by porn over the last fifty years. In more traditional cultures around the world, men see both as disgusting.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures. :me replacing the man that is staring at the couples: They are both the same picture.
@Hans I agree who wants a sweaty hand while among our with their S.O?
Reminder: Lesbian realshionships are not here for men to fantasize about. I f*****g tired of men saying "wow that's hot/do you have a strap-on" like bitch, no I don't and leave me the f**k alone.
Perhaps the observer is homosexual and believes that he has a better chance if more women are taken out of the "dating pool"? Less competition.
Mentally I do get it and yet on a honest gut level gotta go with the red shirt. Shhhhhhs! Tell know one. I hates, hate mail.

For me this is correct, I'm a straight dude, why wouldn't two women kissing be attractive?
You are sexualizing 2 people who just want to love each other. You don't need to get in on that, you creep

You sound like a sloppy redneck. If the man is supposedly straight then how can he find two women kissing to be hot? That’s literally gay. Why is it only gay when you’re looking at a man, Cletus?

As long as you understand that the women kissing are not doing it for you or any man. They don't want men and are only into each other.

Yeah we actually don't. The largest market for gay romance novels is straight women. We like seeing men kiss.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/relationships/what-women-want-gay-male-romance-novels/article565992/

"My favorite part is when an image I have in my head is created almost identical," said Damien when asked to describe his favorite thing about creating art. "The hardest part is not being able to make an image as good as it is in my head. I don’t specifically like the drawing part, I like seeing an image being made. That’s why I also like printmaking. I love silkscreen printing: an entire day of making blank pages into art is extremely satisfying."
The artist also shared what he likes to create comics about: "In general, I like creating content on the verge of what is socially acceptable. Making images that are taboo is fun. Finding the line between what is acceptable and what some people consider to be rude or wrong."
The artist tells us a little bit more about himself: "As said before, I work for a bank during the day. When I have some spare time, I like climbing (bouldering specifically), traveling, and enjoying good food and drinks.
I guess I always felt a bit like an outcast. Too normal to be part of the outcasts and too weird to be part of the normal crowd. I guess my current combination of banker/illustrator reflects this. During my teen years, I struggled to find this balance. Growing up and now being able to express a lot of things in my art makes it much easier to cope with this. I've now found the balance between being a 32-year-old creative guy and a grumpy old man at the same time and I love it."
Domien wanted to share some important information with our readers: "Brush your teeth at least twice a day, they won't grow back and nobody likes bad breath."
What do you think of these comics? Do you relate to them? What do you think of the issues and topics the artist touches upon? Tell us in the comments down below and don't forget to show some love to the artist!
He isn't even looking at her. I'm imagining he's looking at a donkey that's out of frame.

Hm, the caption says "Artist Pokes Fun At Toxic Masculinity, Gender Stereotypes" but here are all sorts of punny and critical drawings, including for example politics. Nice series actually!
Yup, That's why the title includes the 'And More' part! - BP Staff

Meanwhile, many of these views are also turning into questionable stereotypes of how men and women should behave.
No they aren’t, you just don’t believe in equality and feel slighted.

Lots of uncomfortable misogynistic losers in the comments. I’m full from drinking man tears. Fun fact: tears of misogynists help keep the vagina moist.
Man tears huh? That you equate men = misogynists says more about you than all those alleged misogynists.

i like the overall message of equality and acceptance, but a lot of these really aren't that clever or funny to me. Maybe just a different sense of humour, which is fine, and i wouldn't even point it out except that the only other negative comments i see are knee-jerk reactions to the message, not the comedy. Also some of them seem more like provocation than thought-provoking, and i think that's less useful.
maybe i just know a lot of unusual women but i’m pretty sure every one of them would kick any guy’s ass if he said ‘you need to shave.’
boredpanda used to be entertaining, now it's just full of SJW bullcrap
Maybe you ought to skip over the posts you find triggering. Not every man feels like the posts that are 'pro women' are anti man... there is a lot of inequality and other worse sh*t in the world.
