“Yes, But”: Artist Draws A Series Of Sarcastic Comics That Show 25 Funny Contradictions (New Pics)
Safe to say that the life we live is rather complicated. Very few things are just “good” or just “bad” as we’re constantly exploring the grey area with all the different circumstances. Anton Gudim is an artist who’s great at noticing little ironic everyday situations and illustrating them in a “yes, but” format. We’re pretty sure you have experienced at least one of them.
"I am not doing anything on purpose. I am not out for a 'safari' with a camera on people to see them in their habitat. I just live my life: and my life is both everyday affairs and social networks,” Gudim told Bored Panda in a previous interview. “As soon as I started the 'YES, BUT' project, I began to notice examples of this format literally everywhere. So I just live and take notes." Scroll down to see the artist’s newest illustrations and don't forget to check out our previous posts about his work: part 1, part 2.

Not a problem - use the paper towel to dry your hands, then open the door with it.

Idealism in practice. If everyone actually made used the hand washing station, the door handle would be clean enough for everyone to handle

If everyone knew how to wash their hands properly and took the time to do so, during every toilet visit, and if the soap and paper towel never ran out and if the tap always worked... in that utopia you might have a chance.

Not to mention that almost soap and towel dispensers are up high on walls, making it really difficult for wheelchair users to use without having water run into their armpits while trying to get a towel!

I don't know why the first interpretation that came to mind was "we know how to use all those other stuff without any instructions, yet the door, as simple as it looks has to have instruction written for us to know what to do".

The garbage can is usually right near the door. Use paper towel to open the door and throw it away. (Learned this working in a hospital)

I don't think it's even physically possible to open it by pulling (This thing on the upper part, or you have to be pretty thin to snuck through)

You can use the paper towel to open the door. It's when they only have the hand dryers that it becomes a problem. HaHaHa

I love in some newer modeled bathrooms how they have a gizmo to open the door with your foot

Yes!!! That’s why I use a paper towel on the handle when leaving a bathroom. So annoying when there is no trash can near the door.

I get it. It could say push, but you'd still use your hands. Oh look! Paper towel right there at your disposal...🤔😏😑

Where I work has a hands-free door opener. We wave our hands in front of the sensor and the door opens. It's awesome!

This is a great idea - lots of accessible (disabled) toilets have automatic doors, but usually they have a button you need to push - just making it touchless would cost no more than a button, but vastly more hygienic!

That's why god gave you butt cheeks. Clamp the handle with yer a*s and open the door.

Are you an UncleRussian gymnast? Can you get your leg up, to about chest height to hook your foot around the pull handle (and that's assuming it's just a bar and not one requiring actual dexterity) and then pull?

What makes Gudim’s illustrations so entertaining is the way so many of us can relate to them and notice similarities between the “YES, BUT” moments we experience in our own lives. By posting his art continuously, Gudim has accumulated over 1.6M followers on two of his Instagram accounts.

Yup, happens to me all the time. "oh wow this product/place had very good rating, oh... 10 reviews, I see"
In a previous post, the Moscow-based creator told us that drawing was not his main occupation for a while: “I graduated from a technical university (since I was successful when it came to mathematics, this is also another factor that makes my drawings very calculated and unemotional, if one could describe them that), and began working as an engineer.
I changed jobs, grew professionally, but I was constantly bored and felt that my life was not as fulfilled as I’d like it to be. It was then that I realized that I’d like to return to those childhood hobbies, but with a more formed worldview.”

Oh I actually collect snow globes and I really don't care where they are made. I either buy them where ever I go to visit or ask someone's who traveling if they can bring me one when they're going on vacation. To me the only thing that matters is that the snow globe reflects the country or place where or someone else was
“It takes from a few hours... to infinity,” the artist says about the time needed to finish one of his comics. “There are many factors when it comes to creating comics. First of all, the speed of creation is influenced by how finished and how good the idea for the drawing is.
Secondly, like any creative person, there are days when you simply cannot do it: even after several hours of work, I may not be satisfied with the aesthetics and graphic solution of the drawing. Then I return to draft the very next day, or I simply hide this work somewhere far away.”

I will always make sure my animal has the best food and I make sure they get to eat before I do. When I didn't have a job my pets came first. I took them in with the understanding that they rely on me to protect and take care of them and I take that job very seriously.

Both my mother and father use this feature a lot. My father also started to use the self parking feature in his car too and I agree with that. If I'd pay how much he paid for the car then yes that thing better damn be able to park itself

I hate the ridiculously long nails. Can't wait for that trend to go away.

as someone on the last one of these posts said, these drawings seem to say more about the artist than about society

About half of these work for me, the rest seem like he was just trying to come up with more content.
