The post Check Out These Feel-Good Comics From John Euclid Templonuevo appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Templonuevo’s works are heavily influenced by his faith, but a great thing about them is that everyone can relate to them regardless of their religion or attitude towards it. They promote the values of kindness, compassion, and positivity, showing encouraging people to look at the positive side of life.
The positive nature of Templonuevo’s comics has brought him a significant following on social media. According to the artist, his followers can expect only positive content in the future because he doesn’t like to share anything that would bring even remotely bad thoughts.
“My purpose for drawing stuff is to bring inspiration, encouragement, and fun to others, and any illustrations not related to that, I don’t share it,” Templonuevo shared in a recent chat with Bored Panda.
Another reason why Templonuevo’s comics are popular is the eye-catching and smooth illustration. The artist wanted to achieve a style that is a combination of animated shows Rick and Morty and Adventure Time but ended up with a unique visual expression that has become recognizable on the internet.
Check out some of our favorite works from Templonuevo below.

]]>This London artist is known for her successful series of webcomics that explore all sorts of moments and circumstances people are facing every day. The characters in her works are trying to deal with the same love problems, school struggles, and life dilemmas as all of us in their own unique way. Sometimes they manage to do that, and other times they just hope for the best.
Because they are so relatable and simplistic, Manhattan’s comics have found a broad audience on social media. Her Instagram account has close to 17K followers, and the artist is trying to feed them with new comics whenever she can.
According to Manhattan, she sketches ideas in her free time and then proceeds to work those ideas into comics. The process usually takes her a few hours.
“Anytime I can lift my head from my work, and other responsibilities is the best time to draw comics, so I consider it a form of self-care,” she tells Bored Panda.

]]>The post Kelly Abeln Channels Her Anxiety Into Her Comics appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>A recent favorite of ours is a series of illustrations that captures perfectly the silver lining that might be had in times of pandemic.
“During a time of crisis, my mind doesn’t need to invent any,” reads one caption which sees an illustrated version of Abeln meditating in the midst of a raging fire.
“A year of lowered expectations, practice accepting uncertainty, and not leaving my comfort zone has reduced my anxiety,” notes the candid illustrator. “But what happens when this ends?!”
Such forthcoming reflections are what make Abeln’s work a delightful treat that has amassed some 15,000 plus followers on Instagram.
“I love that what I want to do aligns with how I support myself,” Abeln shared with MCAD Alumni. “I also love seeing people’s reactions to my work and that I get to see things I create out in the world.”
A freelance illustrator with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and Illustration from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Abeln agrees with the old saying that variety is the spice of life. “The variety of working from home, working on a contract assignment, and personal projects keeps things interesting,” she notes.
And as for inspiration—she might as well turn to her work desk. “Inspiration comes from working,” says Abeln. “Just keep making stuff and ideas will come.”

]]>The post These Amusing Comics Have Unexpected Endings appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Sometimes it’s just something simple and silly like a cat working on a pottery piece before knocking it over just for the sake of it. Other times it’s a fight between a farmer and a knight that turns out to be a chess match.
Mayati, who is studying to become a computer scientist, covers all sorts of different themes and situations in his comics. As it turns out, this is a result of his creative process.
“They are about stuff I find interesting, I have an opinion about, or about just very random situations with a funny, some might call it stupid (I do), twist to them,” he shared in one of his interviews. “Sometimes I even think about a character that would be funny or interesting and do a comic about it.”
Mayati reveals that he tried several times to create a streamlined comic with a more coherent structure but discovered that this isn’t working out for him. So he decided to go back to what he does best and continue providing random and highly entertaining comics to his followers on Instagram. Check out more of his works below.

]]>Her “Doodley Squat” comics deal with lots of different subjects, ranging from relationship struggles to uncomfortable interactions with strangers, and are presented in an amusing and relatable way.
According to Rae, she started making comics after getting bored with repetitive news feeds and social media posts. She had her starts on one iPhone app and admits that her first works were poorly drawn and were more doodles than comics. However, the jokes were there, and with the encouragement of her friends, she continued to improve her skills. She also managed to find a distinctive style.
“I guess I just want people to be able to get a laugh out of them,” she explains. “I don’t really like arguing with people, so I try not to make anything political or controversial.”
This simplistic approach resonated with people and helped Rae turn her comics into several books. However, she still regularly updates Doodley Squat social media profiles with new content. Check out more of it below.

#meangirlsclub #nobrow #autsaidercomics #foreignlanguage #versions #comics #happyfriday“My aesthetic from the get go was vintage: I was an oddball kid who sought out visuals from bygone eras,” he explained once in an interview with WOW x WOW. “Its almost as if I were just born that way, wired into the past,” he joked.
Like most creatives, Heshka’s passion sparked early on. “I drew a lot as a child, and through my teens,” he explains. But his road to comics art was a meandering one, and he attended university for interior design, working in that field for about four years before returning to his original passion. “In the late 90s I relocated to Vancouver, B.C., and found my way into animation, an art form I have always loved,” he recalled.
From the “Dream Weavers – Neo Fabulists 2” show opening this Saturday @feinkunstkrueger (Hamburg), featuring my friends @femtasia @fstoney1960 @elgatochimney @heikomullerart and myself. So honoured to show with this group, and return after ten years to do another Neo-Fabulists show. “Around that time, illustration really caught my eye, so I created some promotional cards and sent those out, with the hopes of becoming a professional illustrator. Kate Larkworthy Artist Representation in New York liked my work, and I found myself, again, image making.”
