Anton Gudim is an artist who’s great at noticing how contradictory our everyday life can be. Besides his quirky short-paneled comics, the artist also creates sarcastic and relatable illustrations he calls "Yes, But" that depict two sides of the same circumstance.

The idea of creating "Yes, But" comics came to Anton in 2016. This format was inspired by reflections on how people get along with a lot of contradictions in their lives. The artist found the actions of some people very contradictory: hence this "but" appeared.

One of my cats loves the scratching post, but also adores the already ruined leather armchairs (previous kitty went to town on the leather furniture), and she loves the kitchen bench. The other cat sometimes forgets what the scratching post is for, but loves one of the carpets that she is allowed to scratch. Oh well. People who want perfect furniture should not have pets that can ruin it. Oh, and anyone who declaws a cat is a garbage human being and should have the same done to them.

Anton's ideas come from observing everyday life. As the artist mentioned in previous interviews, over the years he has trained himself to notice something and to be in a constant search for ideas. Since he has formed an absurd surrealistic style, Anton looks at the world through the prism of it. "This is the way to fight the boredom: to see something new in the regular surroundings."

    True. Insisting that pre-pubescent girls cover their nipples when they are at that point identical to little boys or else they will be considered obscene or sexualized. Refusing to allow women to breastfeed in public when THIS is exactly the purpose of enlarged breasts in women but allowing sexy images of women's breasts in advertising.

    Irony, humor, sarcasm, randomness, absurdity and easily recognizable style are what make these illustrations so well received. Anton Gudim has already reached over 1.7M followers on two of his Instagram accounts and the number keeps growing!

    Short-haired peeps, don´t forget to use sunscreen on the back of your neck and ears when heading into the hellscape that is outside.

    It's the 4th article featuring "Yes, But" comics on Bored Panda and it seems that it won't be the last. The artist shared that he has a lot of ideas for this format so he's planning to continue creating these contradictory illustrations.

    "I don’t come up with something special: the ideas come by themselves, which means that the topic has not exhausted itself and the format itself has a wide interpretation, which almost does not restrain my creative impulses."

    We asked Anton whether he has some upcoming projects. The artist replied that he has a lot on his plate at the moment. Besides the "Yes, but" illustrations he is also creating drawings outside this format for himself, publishing books, discussing future exhibitions, etc. All this doesn't allow him to think about other projects. However, the artist shared that everything can change at any moment. "Just like I did not plan to do Yes, BUT as a separate project, but it happened."

    This is why you need to specify mosquito screen. Not fly screen. And if you cannot ( example renting) spray the screen with long lasting anti-mos *surface* spray.

    The window screens are somehow still letting in mosquitoes (with mini trumpets)? I swear I'm not an idiot, but I don't get this.

    Because they're designed to keep out flies, but mosquitoes are often small enough to fit through the screen, or they get in the house some other way (crack, open door, etc.). The annoying buzz of mosquitoes sounds like trumpets

    The sound of mosquitoes buzzing in my ear is like nails on a chalkboard for me but worse. I lived in Florida so I have plenty of mosquito experience.

    black and white stripes deter mosquitoes so everyone dress like beetlejuice and you'll only get half as many bites! Trufax.

    Nothing worse than hearing buzzing in your ear when it's pitch black dark. The size of the critter greatly increases when you can't see it.

    Put some bug repellent (for this I usually use cream or lotion type) where there is bigger hole, also the edge. Also spray your bed comforter, outside of the sleeping bag , just not the part that touch your skin. It help

    Actually, fun fact, if you hear a mosquito buzzing near your ear it means a male is trying to distract you while a female feeds on you. So if you hear that noise, search your body for that female and help keep their population under control.

    I always do the pumpy thing; opening and closing an umbrella rapidly to shake off excess water. Doesn´t make it dry, but it´s not as drippy.

    Hmm...boating and rowing are two different things and there's nothing relaxing about rowing but it's a brilliant workout - so I don't think I agree with this one, he's working out in one and relaxing in the other.
