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
I've earned those wrinkles. I'm not going to hide them.

Ugh, people get old, get over it, especially media. Nobody has to look perfect when they age
Their called laugh lines for a reason. Fun loving people have them.
This is so stupid. Wrinkles are natural. I like my wrinkles, and adore my wife's "happy wrinkles". Aging is normal, people who doesn't accept it aren't. 🤷
I think it's trying to show how people and the media post perfect photoshopped/filtered pictures, when in real life, we have lines and wrinkles that are being hidden.
there's nothing more beautiful than seeing a person's face crinkle with happiness and joy. the lines on a face tell a story and smiling wrinkles are beautiful and natural. we're human, we age, it happens.
The joke isn't that she's getting old but that those are FROWN lines so it's like she's telling you to smile but she never did
So, be always grumpy and get grumpy wrinkles instead. Problem solved. /s
Heh. I am about to turn 61, and because I live alone,& spend little time around humans (ASD,& prefer animal companions), not only do I have zero 'crow's feet', I also have no perceptible naso-labial lines.
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..."
