“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.

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
Just the way they’re drawn. Those are the pinkness of her cheeks. (Spelling mistake)
Well, it’s been able to work that way on iPhones for a few months now
I hate the ridiculously long nails. Can't wait for that trend to go away.
free speech being a right does not mean Bob has to accept comments and look at posts from rude/racist/toxic people
anyone can say what they want. doesn't mean they're entitled to an audience
This one is stupid. Bob is not stopping those people from speaking. He is exercising his right not to listen. There's a world of difference. It would be so great if people... understood basic definitions. "Free speech" not applying to private platforms is another; "free speech" =/= "freedom from all consequences" is yet another.
I think.. Dont get me wrong... They are still speaking... Just me-myself-and-I are not "required" to listen.
You might have the right so speak freely but I don't owe you to listen
I wish that all elected government officials would be unable to block people/comments, on social media, that are from the districts that they represent. In other words, US senators would be unable to block anyone from their state unless they were being threatened or harassed.
I don’t think they are. A court told Trump exactly that 3 or 4 years ago. That ruling should apply to your Senator or whomever. Someone just needs to make an issue of it. The ACLU would probably be happy to send a legal nasty gram on your behalf for free.

Whatever - you can say what you want - doesn't mean I have to see or listen to it.
This is literally what allows free speech to work 😅 you have a right to speak. You also have a right not to listen to literally everyone with an opinion.
free expression means you don't have to let others have access to you if you don't want them to. this is a fail
This is the POINT of free speech. If you know who says things that you find crazy or offensive, then you know who to avoid listening to. Let the jerks expose themselves, then we can all be aware of who they are.
It'd be funnier if it wasn't "Bob" blocking these people, but the name of whatever social media platform this is.
I disagree with most comments here. It's one thing not to listen, completely different to shut someone's mouth. Blocking is just that: preventing them from the ability to tell you what they think. You may choose not to read it after, that is completely all right, but blocking is just putting a duct tape over someone's mouth, done online.
Your comment is 2 months old, but actually it's not like putting duct tape over someone's mouth. They can still communicate with others. A few people blocking them is just a dent in the audience they could reach. Blocking online free speech would be if they were banned from every social website ever. If I got blocked by someone, oh well because I can speak to others. If I get banned from Bored Panda I'll just go on Reddit. If I got banned from Reddit I'll find a different platform.

It's not free speech on Bored Panda - they correct the word died or killed to "unalived"! Censorship is strong here
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.
