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.

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."

I have such good taste in music that I know everyone else wants to hear it!

Well, there's a huge difference. Car stereo speakers vs phone speakers...

Agreed. Car stereos most of the time can't be heard, and when they can, the sound goes away as the car drives by. It is still annoying but ends quickly. A person standing near you with a phone blaring whatever it is never stops being annoying.

They're both wrong. Use headphones and stop installing subwoofers in your car smh. Sound polluters are the worst.

I can think of 10,000 things worse than noise polluters. Your comment could have been worded a bit better since at first brush it looks like you're telling people to wear headphones while driving which is very much illegal

It's the car stereos that have such overwhelming bass that they're literally physically felt that bother me the most, not the random people blaring music or even well done bass, but the ones where they've literally got the bass so amped up it's shaking the entire car and those around it is unnecessary and terrible.

Even worse, people who facetime while driving. I've seen this so many times, it's disgusting. And people in my state wonder why insurance rates are so high here.

Not everyone wants to hear someone's music don't force it on others it's rude and disrespectful especially with explicit lyrics in public and kids around. I try to not impose my music (rockabilly punk) on others

I want to tell people doing this that we already knew they were an a*****e and didn't require hearing their shitty playlist to confirm it

I really hate the people with bad speakers absolutely blasting their high bass music. All I hear is cracking "bmmmmmmmmph.. bmmmmmmmmph.... Bmmmmmmmmph.." Like a*****e, get a better woofer or turn that c**p down. The only impressive thing about you is that your car sounds like it's going to fall apart

I hate both of these. When it's your phone use earbuds or headphones. If in your car just don't blast the music so loud that it vibrates my house windows.

In the second, you're on the road though. Other people are in their cars listening to their stuff, and you'll probably only be near them for a short time.

For anyone in Florida there's a law now that if an officer can hear music from your car 25 feet or further they can ticket you. Not sure if any other states do the same?

Is there? Cuz it's not working and it's constant that you hear sub woofer, base boosted, a*s cliche rap music from across the street and in a building. The law doesn't care

Nothing worse than some jackass with the base boosted as loud as it'll go, rattling their car to pieces and giving people migraines.

Let people like things. Unless it's Bro Country or Amber Heard. If it's either of those then shame them.

And if you see anyone write a negative comment like Tim Burrill asking you to shame others down-vote them.

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."
