As you might've guessed, we're back for yet another post featuring Gudim's newest work, this time with a fresh set of questions for Anton, the artist known for his clever and humorous "YES, BUT" comic series. You might remember our previous interviews with him, and now we're excited to delve a little deeper into the mind behind the artwork.
Anton gave us some insight into how his creative process works. He explained, "I’m always observing the world around me, taking note of interesting or paradoxical situations that I encounter. These observations often serve as the basis for my comics. As for my work environment, I can create pretty much anywhere as long as it's peaceful and I have the mental space to focus."
Discussing the topic of criticism and the occasional negativity that comes with showcasing work on the internet, the artist showed an admirable approach. He told us, "Criticism is part of being a creative individual, especially when your work is shared on such a vast platform. I view every critique as an opportunity to grow and improve. However, it's crucial to distinguish between constructive criticism and simple negativity. If the critique is meaningful, it could potentially influence my future work, but I won't alter my style just due to personal dislike."
When asked about any untapped topics or issues he plans to address in his comics, Anton kept things rather mysterious. "There are countless topics and issues I haven't touched upon yet but hope to in the future. Given the endless stream of contradictions and absurdities in our lives, there's no shortage of subjects to cover. However, I prefer to keep my plans under wraps. The surprise element of my comics, I believe, contributes to their appeal."
Look man the song's not the vibe, the vibe is one particular song of the day played repeatedly
Balancing a day job in engineering with his creative pursuits is a challenge, but Gudim is not one to let his job slow him down. He shared, "It can be quite a juggling act to manage my engineering job and art creation, but I find a way. In fact, having a non-artistic job is beneficial as it offers a breather from the creative process, allowing my ideas to brew at the back of my head. As for the influence of my engineering background on my art, I would say it introduces a level of precision and analytical thinking to my work. My comics, while seemingly ironic, are often the result of meticulous planning and execution."
Yeah I wish we could make them smaller :/ I have a 67W charger and while it does charge things very quickly I wish it wasn't the size of my fist
Fortune telling isn't about the future, it's mostly about giving someone attention. Just like chiropractors.
People who travel in shorts or skirts have a level of confidence in the cleanliness of the seats I don’t have.
Whoever came up with glass walls and doors for toilets I hope you stub your toe daily
Professional swimmers shave off their body hair (when excessive), don't they?
I don't see a problem. If skateboarding leads you to better understand geometry go for it
Don't you also grow crops just for the rabbits to get all of them?

Don't worry, the rabbit will be fine! Rabbits eat grass and clover, which is abundant everywhere, that farm probably even has a pasture for cows full of grass. That bunny won't starve, and plus it only eats the top leaves, unlike peter rabbit, they don't have the strength to pull carrots out of the ground anyways.

I have a lifted garden with mesh walls to keep bunnies, squirrels, and other animals OUT. My vegetables are not for them. The cuttings that don't make it to the compost are.
You think bunnies want to eat garbage even if it's organic?! 😕🤨

Well if you eat the bunny too then you don't have to worry about it starving
Rabbits eat tons of brush type greens that grow naturally in the environment. He would be happy with clover and dandelion.
Rabbits eating our hard gardening work are pests, anyway. Why should I care it can't eat our vegetables?
Wtf this has made me rethink eating vegetables holy cow just give me steak eggs and potatoes
f**k that rabbit lol he didn't grow the veggies and he shouldn't be in the garden prancing around like he owns the joint. lol
So they don't want us to eat meat and now the don't want us to eat our own vegetables that we worked so hard to grow ourselves....so they're basically saying they don't want us to eat at all. What are we supposed to do starve to death.
rabbits are rodents and perfectly capable of finding food that isn't our garden
this is just bad. i mean the quality of all of these has be steadily declining, but then you just jumped off the cliff with this one.
Wild rabbits usually go for dandelions, clover and other greens

The bunny one was especially stupid. Bunnies don't mainly eat vegetables they eat grass and clover. Seriously, that farm probably has a pasture for cows FULL of grass and clover.
Comics? YES, BUT... Clearly made by a conservative straight white male who grew up within a privileged Christian household and CLEARLY continues to hold misogynistic, homophobic, racist, xenophobic views... the bitterness SEEPS out of his work. Only he knows how the world works best... BUT nobody listens... and that's why the world is SOOO awful! 🙄
Apt name...were these illustrations good? "Yes, but..."
