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."

    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."

    who does this? if you buy a plastic water bottle you drink from it, no one buys water in a plastic bottle to pour it into a reusable bottle.

    I do. Have you ever tried to unscrew the regular bottle while driving? I have sports spill-safe easily opened with one hand bottle for my car specifically.

    I have well water, but I have a salt softener. I've been drinking well water for so many years, I don't really taste the difference until I drink city water again. Coffee, tea, etc., it all tastes the same to me with the well water. That, and I have a water cooler with the reusable, recyclable water jugs you return to the store.

    I did do this once, because I was in a place where I didn't know if the tap water was drinkable.

    This is why I fill my water bottle once and go about my day after that! I can understand why some people might be concerned about drinking a specific type of water, though; I tend to drink filtered or springwater only because tap water actually gives me a stomachache and/or headache if I drink too much of it.

    Tap water is perfectly safe in my country, it must be annoying to live somewhere where tap water isn't safe to drink.

    it's not safe to drink everywhere. In my area it tastes gross imo, so we filter our tap using giant Brita filters and keep it in the fridge so it's cold

    I’ve done it before, I refilled my water bottle with water from a cooler while I was at a volunteer event with no other water. Desperate times call for desperate measures

    Our tap water is not bad but I use a filter to fill my bottles. Even when I buy/ get a plastic bottle, I re-use it a few times before tossing it in recycling.

    Only do this when I’m at the airport or somewhere with filter water, both are rare

    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.

    I don't see a problem. If skateboarding leads you to better understand geometry go for it
