Russian artist Anastasia ‘Stushona’ Ivanova has been keeping herself really busy since the last time BP wrote about her work. She has continued poking fun at everyday life annoyances, amassing tens of thousands of followers.
Even though the character we see in her comics is Stushona’s alter ego and usually fights girl problems, every now and then the artist drops a totally unexpected strip that keeps her feed surprising and interesting. Be it sipping coffee with alive, human-size croissants or explaining the Big Bang, you never know what you’re gonna get!
Stushona said that creating comics is her way of communicating with the world. “When I have something to say, I draw,” she told us.
“Sometimes, it just so happens that you need to be silent for a little while.”As you may have noticed, most of her strips consist of 4 panels. “This format is a challenge for me. It’s somewhat like a visual haiku. You try to tell a story in 4 shots, and if you manage it well, it’s clear and funny.”
