Artist Captures The Irony Of Everyday Moments In 26 “Yes, But” Illustrations (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistHaving real-life contradictions is what makes us human. That is one of the reasons why it is so challenging to put all humanity in one box of understanding.
If you have been here at Bored Panda for a while, you might have seen that there is no one better at noticing and illustrating these mind-bending ideas of contradictions than the Moscow-based illustrator Gudim Anton. He is well known for creating short comic books full of visual puns and quirks that offer a fresh perspective on the modern world.

Oh no, but they aren't CHOOSING to stay in place, cat is choosing FOR THEM to stay in place.
Anton has also created an account on Instagram called “Yes, But” that now has over 600k followers. It includes only two-panel comics telling ironic short stories based on our current society and its values.
We were wondering if the artist’s view was any different than it was in the beginning. Anton shared: “The topics that I began to raise have changed + the world itself is also changing. Many problems that were relevant before have lost their relevance, on the other hand, new ones have appeared. I would like to say that my comics have become more positive, but looking at my recent work, I can't say that.”
Never trust autumn leaves, there's a reason its colored yellow and brown..
This is part 5 of the artist's comics, and we are sure it is not the last. We were wondering if these comics had personally influenced the artist.
“I think it's more accurate to say that I'm the one who influences the comics, not the comics influence me. Every comic is, in some way, a reflection of me at the moment. Even the fact that I chose this particular topic for drawing, and not another, characterizes me in some way.”
A paper straw, but wrapped in plastic! So much for reducing plastic waste!
Observation is the key to finding these fun and sometimes absurd contradictions. The artist has trained to see the world through a "yes, but" prism. We asked how his comics made the artist feel about humanity.
“I have been observing these contradictions for years, it so happened that I found a comic format with which it is convenient for me to talk about these contradictions. It is important that people adopted this format and began to use it themselves, sending me their observations. The world is full of contradictions. Of course, since I began to reflect on this in comics, I began to notice more and more contradictions.”
And lastly, we asked if there are any contradictions Anton constantly repeats himself. “This is a very good question, it got me thinking. I think that the main and most frequent contradiction in everyday life is to do what you do not want because it is necessary. If you think about how many things we do without pleasure, you can be very surprised.”
I don't understand why people want giant windows Infront of their bathtub? Even in rural areas it is relatively easy to look in. On the second floor? Grab some binoculars and you're set! I would be much too paranoid about some creep to enjoy the view.
Either, that's how they market or its literally called hotel star star star star star.
Veganism isn't about meat specifically, afaik it's more about consent. So human flesh given willingly is... technically vegan, isn't it.
That is even worse. You're missing out on all that good proteins.
Load More Replies...Yes, but most people who do this do not chew and swallow said hang nail. So no eating of flesh.
This one is silly. Veganism is about not harming others unnecessarily. This is not less vegan than swallowing cum. It's all about consent in these cases. Animals don't consent to be enslaved, tortured and murdered for your pleasure, but if you wanna chew your skin or even the skin of some other consenting adult, that's totally fine and 100% vegan
Neither do the 1000s of animals killed when a field is ploughed, then the 1000s more at harvest. That's 100% vegan.
Load More Replies...Except when it isn't and animals are killed to make vegan food.
Load More Replies...Hey at least i'm stacked in monopoly.. "HAHAHA NO ONE CAN BEAT ME!! ALL YOUR HOMES ARE MINE!! CAPITALISM!!!"
Yeah, I never understood concerts. Most people can barely see the artist and it’s way too loud.
If you are a dumbass, you can think 3845 times and still make a bad decision!
Lol. This reminds me of a Yoruba proverb. "Tie the wrapper around your butts, or roll your butts around the wrapper. The method doesn't matter, as long as the butts are covered." (Not the best translation) So, it doesn't matter how you hold your cups or utensils, as long as you get the job done.
In fairness this could be a safety issue. It could be that there are no good or even decent cycling paths around where they live.
"Just don't use the chopsticks" if she didn't use them you'd slam her for that too stfu
A lot of these just come across as pointlessly judgemental... I get that they're supposed to make us think about things from another perspective, but who hasn't already done this by about 20? Like, they're just not that mind-blowing.
I came down here to write this as well. Most of these aren't funny; just really judgemental. Overly preoccupied with other people's behavior, but in a needlessly haughty way.
Load More Replies...These are all kinda stupid, especially the vegan one. I also bite off the dead skin around my nails but I don't eat it.
I understood this was just judgemental s**t from someone who needs to get off their high horse the moment they went "Yes, but..." on a vegan biting their skin. That's a special level of judgemental a*****e.
Well I wasted 5 minutes of my life. These have no point and are judgemental and not even clear about the point they are attempting to make.
