The post You Never Know What to Expect With “Inky Rickshaw Comics” appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Hawkins’ super fun comics are a gift that keeps on giving. They always pack some surprises at the end, bringing lots of laughs but also leaving you a bit puzzled.
Hawkins has been interested in comics as a creative outlet for a while but only started being more focused on these projects in 2018 when he started Inky Rickshaw Comics. Over time, the number of followers on his social media started to grow and encouraged him to invest more time into them.
Now, Inky Rickshaw Comics has 35K followers on Instagram alone, with the number only growing as these comics keep on finding ways to reach new fans with their entertaining nature.
“I’m still an aspiring artist myself, but I’ll say that one of the most important things is to keep creating and striving to improve as those are lifelong pursuits,” Hawkins gave advice to artists who are looking to get into webcomics in a recent chat with Bored Panda. “Make the art that interests you, and you will eventually find an audience. It also helps to nurture a positive attitude and a good sense of humor!”

]]>Most of the Cube Melt webcomics take inspiration from everyday life but have unexpected and amusing twists thanks to the unique features of its main character.
For example, in one of the comics, the ice cube decides to go on a ride. When it notices that there is a free entry for “kids below 90 cm,” it simply shrinks to the required size and gets a free ride.
Another comic shows the ice cube getting bored of watching the TV. It decides to go outside but quickly realizes the sun isn’t its best friend.
“Every day is a source of inspiration for me. A simple stroll in the park, an overheard conversation, or a trending meme can all spark an idea,” Wong shared in a recent chat with Bored Panda.
Thanks to their unique main character and funny stories, Cube Melt webcomic gained a sizable online fanbase that includes more than 250K followers on Instagram. Check out some of our favorite entries below.

]]>His signature style is more of a doodle, with added witty remarks and comics-like speech bubbles. Some of his illustrated series include random facts and illustrated one-star reviews of well-known landmarks. According to Lowery, his very particular style has developed over time through daily practice.
“When I was little, I had a grandmother who was an artist and she encouraged my brother and me to keep sketchbooks,” he recalled in an interview with Travel Channel. “Later, I had a college professor who required we draw in one every single day. It really forced me to draw a lot. I used my sketchbooks as a place to experiment with how I draw, what I draw and what materials I use to draw.”
According to Lowery, he still keeps practicing daily in his sketchbooks. “Even when I’ve been drawing for clients all day, it’s that important to me,” he notes. “It was in these daily sketchbooks that I really found my voice.”
“My biggest bit of advice is to make a point to draw for at least 30 minutes a day,” he says. “For some, that seems really tough (it seemed impossible for me at first), but I think it’s incredibly important. You’ll find your voice and figure out how you like to work and draw. It’s also a great way of recording your progress as an artist.”

]]>The post Maja Säfström’s Illustrations Are Witty and Relatable appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Having earned a tremendous international following on social media, as well as widespread critical acclaim and multiple awards, it’s surprising to learn that Säfström’s background actually lies in architecture. “I have been drawing for as long as I can remember,” she shared in an interview with Lake. “I drew a lot when I was a kid. I had a few years in high school where I thought I was really bad. Then I started studying architecture at university and found myself drawing the scenes around the buildings with MUCH more enthusiasm than the actual houses. Well, one thing led to another!”
Indeed one thing led to another. “I used to work as an architect and illustrating was something I did in my time off work,” she says. “Now that it is my full-time job, I realize, it is much less meditative. Because now the drawings are often commissioned, which is a bit different from just drawing whatever you feel like. It is the best job in the world though. Being an illustrator! My new hobby is taking care of my plants at home.”
Each of her illustrated pieces is made by first drawing a thin outline with a pencil, after which the final drawing is made with a fineliner. Her comic-like illustrations often include speech bubbles. “I think the speech bubbles are a very important part of my work,” says Säfström. “I love combining text with drawings. I often experience something in life and make a drawing of that.”

]]>“Not only do teachers engage with and enjoy these comics, but the students themselves seem to love the drawings and relate to the humor, which is fantastic. I hope that these comics humorously illustrate the hard work, dedication, and care that teachers provide our students every day,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. He added that since he began sharing his work online, his comics have been also published in a book form and become a bestseller in his home country.
His work has been noticed by Matt Groening and the book has been endorsed by Mike Reiss, Emmy award-winning writer, and producer of The Simpsons.

]]>The post These Adorable Penguins Are Trying to be Human appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Sheba is a self-taught Japanese artist with a passion for penguins, as is evident from her IG account dedicated to drawings of the funny little birds. But instead of just drawing penguins in their natural environment – resting on an iceberg or swimming in the ocean – Sheba likes to imagine what it would be like for a penguin to perform a human task. It can be anything from cooking do reading a book.
The idea may sound outlandish, but Sheba’s drawings prove that the world could do with drawings of penguins skipping rope or having a bubble bath. With their sort wings and legs and their round face, imagining them trying to do anything remotely human is just hilarious. And in Sheba’s drawing, they usually fail at even the simplest tasks – in the most adorable way possible.
While it’s easy to feel sorry for Sheba’s penguins and their misadventures, the paintings will lift the spirit of anyone who sees them.

]]>The post Funny Cat Cartoons by Nate Fake appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Over the past decade, this LA-based artist has created dozens of cat cartoons that are both funny and smart. Inspiration for all of these comics was his cat, Tiger.
“My cat, the Tiger, has inspired me in many ways. She motivates me to be lazy, encourages me to swipe at random objects, and clean myself daily (I opt for a shower rather than licking myself…thankfully),” the artist wrote for Bored Panda.
Fakes has been drawing his entire life and he sold his first cartoon in fifth grade. His edgy humor earned him collaborations with big companies Red Bull, Disney, Scholastic, and Warner Bros. Still, his drawings based on real situations and adventures of cats are our favorites.
Check out Fakes’ comics in the photos below.

]]>The post If Your Favorite Cartoons Were Fashion Models appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Pavlou is best-known as the creator of a series of illustrations in which he transformed comic and cartoon characters into fashion models. As they all have a slight exaggeration and a silly tone, the artist wondered what would they look like in a more “adult style.” Batman, Lucky Luke, Marge Simpson, Wilma Flintstone, etc., they all have been turned into top models.
“We grew up with them, loved them, made them friends, and in some cases still enjoy their company,” the artist wrote on Bored Panda. “We have learned to recognize them immediately by their voice, some of their special features (big ears, funny noses, etc.), and even by their dress.”
We really enjoyed browsing through his Instagram page and we believe that you will enjoy it, too. Follow him for future updates.

]]>The post Maria Qamar Uses Pop Art to Tackle Heavy Subjects appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Using pop art aesthetic, her art tackles themes surrounding her experiences of racism, body shaming, classism, and chauvinism. “The focus is on my community,” she explained in an interview with Vice. “I’m not talking to a white audience. I’m talking to people like me, so we can talk about these issues in our community. When you do that and when enough people around you start doing that, you find that everyone else around you starts listening in. It puts the pressure on other folks to learn more about us, which is an added bonus, but the point of the work isn’t to appeal to anybody outside of who I’m speaking to.”
MY BHAI FROM ANOTHER GUY“Pop art is very fun in nature, but [my work] does talk about a lot of heavy things, so it’s also people who have topics they want to discuss but don’t really know-how,” she added. “It’s across generations.”
Indeed, humor is Qamar’s weapon of choice when tackling heavy loaded issues. Her book, Trust No Aunty (which has won the 2018 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for humor), is an illustrated “survival guide” that aims at dealing with overbearing “Aunties,” whether they’re family members, annoying neighbors, or just some random women throwing black magic your way.
With almost 200k followers on Instagram, you’d want to join in the hype.
