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.

One of my cats loves the scratching post, but also adores the already ruined leather armchairs (previous kitty went to town on the leather furniture), and she loves the kitchen bench. The other cat sometimes forgets what the scratching post is for, but loves one of the carpets that she is allowed to scratch. Oh well. People who want perfect furniture should not have pets that can ruin it. Oh, and anyone who declaws a cat is a garbage human being and should have the same done to them.

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."

True. Insisting that pre-pubescent girls cover their nipples when they are at that point identical to little boys or else they will be considered obscene or sexualized. Refusing to allow women to breastfeed in public when THIS is exactly the purpose of enlarged breasts in women but allowing sexy images of women's breasts in advertising.

Irony, humor, sarcasm, randomness, absurdity and easily recognizable style are what make these illustrations so well received. Anton Gudim has already reached over 1.7M followers on two of his Instagram accounts and the number keeps growing!

Short-haired peeps, don´t forget to use sunscreen on the back of your neck and ears when heading into the hellscape that is outside.

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."

I always do the pumpy thing; opening and closing an umbrella rapidly to shake off excess water. Doesn´t make it dry, but it´s not as drippy.

If you feel you must pray before playing in a competition, don't pray to win – pray to be a good sport if you lose.

Just because we kill animals for food doesn't mean we should stomp and kill every other animal for no reason...

I just say to heck with it and don’t text anyone at all. After 3-4 days I get all these texts asking me if I’m ok because they havent heard from me in days. How flattering. You noticed🤨

Only 23 minutes and 43 seconds... depending on the company, you have at least another half hour to speak with someone... oh and stupid message that pops up every minute saying your call is important to us is so annoying, getting our hopes up and all that.

The reason I dont have conversations in text, person to person conversations are the only way to go. People become needy and weird when you don't see their face

Super aggravating. If I don't answer, there is usually a GOOD REASON

Big difference getting text from friends and a loud unwanted phone call from a robo number. I shouldn't have to mute my phone and potentially miss an important call because of spam callers. 🙄 I would much rather text than talk on the phone. But none of my friends needlessly text me. Only to convey a meet up location.

Hmm...boating and rowing are two different things and there's nothing relaxing about rowing but it's a brilliant workout - so I don't think I agree with this one, he's working out in one and relaxing in the other.
