Natalya Lobanova (previously featured here and here), a comic artist and painter based in London, creates honest depictions of the majority of our daily lives. Her clever cartoons are frequently presented simply, resembling sketches, yet they often contain insightful commentary on modern culture and society as well as how we perceive these things.

Natalya revealed to Bored Panda that she had more than one profession in the art sphere. “I am also a painter, illustrator, and animator. For me, comics tend to be fun side projects I occasionally make. They are, however, the stuff people like best, because they’re the most relatable!” It’s no wonder Natalya’s ideas are brilliant, she knows how to work on more than one medium.
The artist also said that “none of my funny comic strips are about my life specifically,” which is surprising given how many people relate to her work. “I tend to focus more on universal feelings that I believe everyone experiences, usually of existential angst! I deliberately avoid drawing myself in comics, which is why sometimes I resort to an amorphous blob-like person, as I see that as a sort of ‘anti-character.’”
