]]> “YES, BUT” is an amusing series of comics by artist Anton Gudim that shows how everyday situations don’t always end up in the way we expect them to.

 Gudim’s comics feature two panels. In the first panel, he draws a scene that you could never think would get out of hand. In the second one, the artist adds an absurd twist that catches the viewers off guard and makes them puzzled and amused at the same time.

Gudim, who also has a career as an IT engineer, says he draws inspiration for his work from his daily observations of the world and people around them.

“The main message is that the world around us is varied, and there will always be ways to find something both amusing and terrifying in it. I think some of my drawings could be compared to the fairy tales of a darker and crueler kind that still manage to entertain their readers,” Gudim shared in an interview with The Verge.

“YES, BUT” comics series has been quite popular with social media users, with its Instagram page attracting 1.4 million followers and counting. Continue scrolling to check out some of our favorite entries.

]]> If you are looking for a new webcomic to provide you with a daily dose of laughs, then Buni Comics might be just for you. But we have to warn you, they are on the side of dark humor and come with unexpected twists.

Created by Ryan Pagelow, Buni Comic follows a rabbit named Buni who lives in a world inhabited by teddy bears. The main character is described by Pagelow as a “naïve optimist with terrible luck”. Nothing ever goes his way, but he keeps on hoping for the best. Terrible for him, but great for everyone who follows his adventures.

Besides Buni, the world of Buni Comics has several other recurring characters that are quirky in their own way. This includes Buni’s cynical father, BuniDad, a wheelchair dog named Dogi, and BuniGirl, the “object of all of Buni’s desires,” who is uninterested in him.

Most of Buni Comic start with a simple premise before spiraling out of control and introducing unbelievable scenarios. It appears that anything can happen, and you never know what the punchline might be until you reach it.

Buni Comic is currently being published in newspapers and by various online publishers. Pagelow also shares them on Instagram on a regular basis. Check out more of them below.

“We had quite different notions about love and relationship growing up in India,” the couple shares. “Having been married for a few years now, we have come to see it in a new light altogether. We want to share our moments with you via these comics.”

Starting as a comic on Instagram, Love Handle Comics spread to other social media platforms and different media. Sneha and Rahul published several books while also offering calendars, key chains, and prints through their webshop.

]]> Doing things with friends is always better and more fun, especially when it comes to creative work. This is one of the secrets behind the hugely popular “Pudin and Flan” webcomics. 

The main characters of these comics are two gamer girls, Pudin and Flan, who not only share an apartment together but also the goal of achieving their “big dreams.” Throughout the comics, we witness Pudin and Flan going through adventures and all sorts of funny and relatable everyday situations that can happen to everyone.

The reason why these comics hit close to home is that they are based on real people and real-life events. The “Pudin and Flan” is the project by three friends – Destinee Cleveland, Jackie King, and James Averett – who decided to use their own lives as an inspiration for the adventures of Pudin and Flan.

According to the group, which has an artistic background, they originally wanted to create an animated show around “Pudin and Flan.” Unfortunately, their pitch was rejected, so they decided to turn it into a comic. And it’s safe to say that they made a great decision.

“Our original goal was to create a funny little comic about ourselves, but it’s become something so much bigger,” shared the comic creators. “We now have a chance to bring about representation for everything we find important in our lives and the society we live in.”

]]> What first drew us to Kelly Abeln was her candid approach to illustration. Her autobiographical comics turns the most mundane things into bite-sized illustration that pack a punch. Based in Minneapolis, MN, Abeln freelances full-time from her home studio, working on a variety of illustration and design projects for clients, alongside her more personal projects.

“I love that what I want to do aligns with how I support myself,” she once remarked in an interview with MCAD Alumni. “I also love seeing people’s reactions to my work and that I get to see things I create out in the world. The variety of working from home, working on a contract assignment, and personal projects keeps things interesting.”

Having received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration with a concentration in Graphic Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, she admits she chose illustration because she wanted to draw and paint but was more interested in commercial than fine arts as a career. “Illustration classes were pretty open and let you experiment and find your style,” explained Abeln. “I also liked the formality of graphic design classes; learning grids and rules was a good balance to the openness of illustration.”

According to Abeln, once she started making comics she found they were the perfect way to get her autobiographical stories all out and release them. But ultimately her work takes a lot of work. “Inspiration comes from working,” she says. “Just keep making stuff and ideas will come.”

]]> Ryan Heshka’s art is fueled by his love of vintage aesthetics. Early influences that persist to this day include antiquated comics and pulp magazines, natural history, graphic design and music, movies, and animation. With his artwork coming across as an unearthed sci-fi comics from a dystopian past, humor is also to be expected.

“My aesthetic from the get go was vintage: I was an oddball kid who sought out visuals from bygone eras,” he once remarked in an interview with WOW x WOW, adding that “its almost as if I were just born that way, wired into the past.”

An esteemed artist, Heshka’s illustrations have appeared in Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal, Esquire, and the New York Times, amongst other top tier publications. He has also been selected to appear in American Illustration, Society of Illustrators, and Communication Arts.

But oddly enough, his creative journey wasn’t as straight forward. “I arrived where I am via a very indirect route,” he told WOW x WOW. “I drew a lot as a child, and through my teens. After graduation, I attended university for interior design and worked in that field for about four years.”

Although he gained a lot of knowledge about art, architecture, and general design principles; interior design, as it turned out, wasn’t for Heshka. “In the late 90s I relocated to Vancouver, B.C., and found my way into animation, an art form I have always loved.” Much like interior design, animation wasn’t Heshka’s cup of tea. “Around that time, illustration really caught my eye, so I created some promotional cards and sent those out, with the hopes of becoming a professional illustrator. Kate Larkworthy Artist Representation in New York liked my work, and I found myself, again, image making.”

Entirely self-taught as an artist and illustrator, Heshka’s achievements (as well as some 50k followers on Instagram) are all the more incredible. Take a look at some of his work in the gallery below.

]]> There’s a reason why illustrator, author, cartoonist, and designer Marloes De Vrie has such a massive following online (her Instagram page alone amassed some 125k devoted fans). Her comics style of illustration (humorous, playful, and colorful) is oftentimes very much on point. “Life is too short to search for matching socks,” remarks one of her characters (designed to look like De Vrie herself), while another solemnly states: “I finally understand I have just one body.”

Working as a freelance illustrator and writer, most of De Vries’ time is spent on creating illustrations for magazines, publishers and businesses. Since 2016, De Vries makes a monthly cartoon for the union magazine NT Magazine, and writes articles about self-development for Charlie Magazine and Flow, and in 2018, she was asked to develop a new weekly comic strip for the girls’ magazine Tina.

So it comes as no surprise that she took to illustration early on. As a little girl, she’d make robots out of shoe boxes and toilet rolls and would grab every piece of paper available in the house so she could draw; and by the age 18, she was accepted to the ArtEZ School of Arts in Enschede, where she studied visual communication.

Her favorite jobs include designing book covers and creating editorial illustrations for magazines. Take a look at some highlights from her Instagram page in the gallery below:

My year in mini-form! I made this mini-zine with some adventures that 2019 has brought me. You can make one too, just swipe to the end and see how I did it. If it’s still too confusing, find a link in my profile how I made this very simple zine. If you make one, whether it’s about your 2019 or about your plans for 2020, feel free to tag it with #myyearinminiform, or tag me, so I can find it and share it in my stories. Every early January of a new year, or sometimes by the end of December, I write down what the past year has brought me. Because I tend to forget. Sometimes I will remember the not so good stuff, and forgetting my best stuff. 2019 was a good year. It wasn’t perfect by any means, I cried a lot too. But it was better than the years before. My mental health has been quite good, after some years of struggling. I worked really hard in 2019 and learned that I want to work less hours and more purposefully in 2020. I want to focus on my own stories and create my own books. In 2019 I discovered how much being outdoors means to me and in 2020 I want to plan some more hikes in nature. I want to travel to the UK a few times because that’s the place I feel most like myself. Life is not something I want to take for granted. I think the problems the earth is currently facing shows how fragile it is. Taking better care of everything is key for me for 2020.

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." – Maya Angelou Nearly finished, over 100 illustrations for the wise women-book. This might be my favourite illustration that I did. Not only because of the books (because I friggin’ love books) but I love miss Angelou. When I was young, I was a huge Oprah Winfrey-fan and at one point she started talking about her. I read ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’ and her sentences seeped into me. Sometimes I remember something, usually a wisdom to make me understand the world a bit better, and it’s often Maya Angelou’s words. There are more people that have made an impact on me, so I always try to listen to what they’re saying and learn from them. For example my grandmother. She said that the key to any good relationship is to keep talking and communicating. Whatever is on you heart, speak out. I’m grateful she gave me that. Do you have any words or quotes that resonate on a deep level with you? . . . #illustration #kidlid #kidlitillustration #mayaangelou #oprahwinfrey #childrensillustration #childrensbooks #instaart #illustrator #kidlitart #childrensbook #childrensbookart

The main character, Hanna, is based on her. She’s a 20-year-old girl (permanently) who was born in the Internet age. “Hanna is a unique girl who knows how to deal with pimples and stay calm,” the artist told Bored Panda. “She knows what it means to have mood swings or to have constant thoughts about her hair – ‘should I cut it or better dye it?.’”

And just like her illustrations, so are Bingaman-Burt’s days crammed with activities: working as an illustrator, an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University, an Outlet owner hosting workshops and pop-up events, and a risograph print studio owner; as well as a board member of Design Portland.

Her many projects include publications, prints, textiles, patterns, installations, murals, and ongoing photo documentation and crowd-sourced illustration projects. She’s also written a few books and made plenty of zines, making her the ultimate it-girl. “My roles as commercial illustrator, full-time educator, and project-based artist overlap to inform an intricate creative workflow,” she writes on her website.

“I love that what I want to do aligns with how I support myself,” she once remarked in an interview with MCAD Alumni. “I also love seeing people’s reactions to my work and that I get to see things I create out in the world. The variety of working from home, working on a contract assignment, and personal projects keeps things interesting.”

Having received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration with a concentration in Graphic Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, she admits she chose illustration because she wanted to draw and paint but was more interested in commercial than fine arts as a career. “Illustration classes were pretty open and let you experiment and find your style,” explained Abeln. “I also liked the formality of graphic design classes; learning grids and rules was a good balance to the openness of illustration.”

According to Abeln, once she started making comics she found they were the perfect way to get her autobiographical stories all out and release them. But ultimately her work takes a lot of work. “Inspiration comes from working,” she says. “Just keep making stuff and ideas will come.”

]]> Ryan Heshka’s art is fueled by his love of vintage aesthetics. Early influences that persist to this day include antiquated comics and pulp magazines, natural history, graphic design and music, movies, and animation. With his artwork coming across as an unearthed sci-fi comics from a dystopian past, humor is also to be expected.

“My aesthetic from the get go was vintage: I was an oddball kid who sought out visuals from bygone eras,” he once remarked in an interview with WOW x WOW, adding that “its almost as if I were just born that way, wired into the past.”

An esteemed artist, Heshka’s illustrations have appeared in Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal, Esquire, and the New York Times, amongst other top tier publications. He has also been selected to appear in American Illustration, Society of Illustrators, and Communication Arts.

But oddly enough, his creative journey wasn’t as straight forward. “I arrived where I am via a very indirect route,” he told WOW x WOW. “I drew a lot as a child, and through my teens. After graduation, I attended university for interior design and worked in that field for about four years.”

Although he gained a lot of knowledge about art, architecture, and general design principles; interior design, as it turned out, wasn’t for Heshka. “In the late 90s I relocated to Vancouver, B.C., and found my way into animation, an art form I have always loved.” Much like interior design, animation wasn’t Heshka’s cup of tea. “Around that time, illustration really caught my eye, so I created some promotional cards and sent those out, with the hopes of becoming a professional illustrator. Kate Larkworthy Artist Representation in New York liked my work, and I found myself, again, image making.”

Entirely self-taught as an artist and illustrator, Heshka’s achievements (as well as some 50k followers on Instagram) are all the more incredible. Take a look at some of his work in the gallery below.

]]> There’s a reason why illustrator, author, cartoonist, and designer Marloes De Vrie has such a massive following online (her Instagram page alone amassed some 125k devoted fans). Her comics style of illustration (humorous, playful, and colorful) is oftentimes very much on point. “Life is too short to search for matching socks,” remarks one of her characters (designed to look like De Vrie herself), while another solemnly states: “I finally understand I have just one body.”

Working as a freelance illustrator and writer, most of De Vries’ time is spent on creating illustrations for magazines, publishers and businesses. Since 2016, De Vries makes a monthly cartoon for the union magazine NT Magazine, and writes articles about self-development for Charlie Magazine and Flow, and in 2018, she was asked to develop a new weekly comic strip for the girls’ magazine Tina.

So it comes as no surprise that she took to illustration early on. As a little girl, she’d make robots out of shoe boxes and toilet rolls and would grab every piece of paper available in the house so she could draw; and by the age 18, she was accepted to the ArtEZ School of Arts in Enschede, where she studied visual communication.

Her favorite jobs include designing book covers and creating editorial illustrations for magazines. Take a look at some highlights from her Instagram page in the gallery below:

My year in mini-form! I made this mini-zine with some adventures that 2019 has brought me. You can make one too, just swipe to the end and see how I did it. If it’s still too confusing, find a link in my profile how I made this very simple zine. If you make one, whether it’s about your 2019 or about your plans for 2020, feel free to tag it with #myyearinminiform, or tag me, so I can find it and share it in my stories. Every early January of a new year, or sometimes by the end of December, I write down what the past year has brought me. Because I tend to forget. Sometimes I will remember the not so good stuff, and forgetting my best stuff. 2019 was a good year. It wasn’t perfect by any means, I cried a lot too. But it was better than the years before. My mental health has been quite good, after some years of struggling. I worked really hard in 2019 and learned that I want to work less hours and more purposefully in 2020. I want to focus on my own stories and create my own books. In 2019 I discovered how much being outdoors means to me and in 2020 I want to plan some more hikes in nature. I want to travel to the UK a few times because that’s the place I feel most like myself. Life is not something I want to take for granted. I think the problems the earth is currently facing shows how fragile it is. Taking better care of everything is key for me for 2020.

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." – Maya Angelou Nearly finished, over 100 illustrations for the wise women-book. This might be my favourite illustration that I did. Not only because of the books (because I friggin’ love books) but I love miss Angelou. When I was young, I was a huge Oprah Winfrey-fan and at one point she started talking about her. I read ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’ and her sentences seeped into me. Sometimes I remember something, usually a wisdom to make me understand the world a bit better, and it’s often Maya Angelou’s words. There are more people that have made an impact on me, so I always try to listen to what they’re saying and learn from them. For example my grandmother. She said that the key to any good relationship is to keep talking and communicating. Whatever is on you heart, speak out. I’m grateful she gave me that. Do you have any words or quotes that resonate on a deep level with you? . . . #illustration #kidlid #kidlitillustration #mayaangelou #oprahwinfrey #childrensillustration #childrensbooks #instaart #illustrator #kidlitart #childrensbook #childrensbookart

Bloo’s drawings have one goal – to show cute quirks that nearly every girl has. They are all about laughing at the common daily struggles we all share. The artist hopes you can find yourself in her comics and let her art brighten your day.

The main character, Hanna, is based on her. She’s a 20-year-old girl (permanently) who was born in the Internet age. “Hanna is a unique girl who knows how to deal with pimples and stay calm,” the artist told Bored Panda. “She knows what it means to have mood swings or to have constant thoughts about her hair – ‘should I cut it or better dye it?.’”

He draws inspiration from his daily life and relationship with his fiancé, occasionally covering world news topics. The strips include everyday humor and romance and they have a positive vibe.

]]> Scrolling through Kate Bingaman-Burt’s Instagram page is like flipping through an illustrated journal or, more likely, a to-do list. The Portland-based illustrator is known for her crammed illustrations that include bright colors, hand lettering, and inventories of illustrated objects.

And just like her illustrations, so are Bingaman-Burt’s days crammed with activities: working as an illustrator, an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University, an Outlet owner hosting workshops and pop-up events, and a risograph print studio owner; as well as a board member of Design Portland.

Her many projects include publications, prints, textiles, patterns, installations, murals, and ongoing photo documentation and crowd-sourced illustration projects. She’s also written a few books and made plenty of zines, making her the ultimate it-girl. “My roles as commercial illustrator, full-time educator, and project-based artist overlap to inform an intricate creative workflow,” she writes on her website.

Flip through some of her delightful illustrated works in the gallery below.
