Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source Meet the New York-based comic illustrator, writer, and producer Tom Hunt, the person behind the popular webcomic series called the "Scarecrowbar." Tom is a creative genius that loves to make illustrations that include sarcastic, witty, and mostly relatable everyday situations when it comes to things such as your 9-5 office job or even mundane daily tasks like cooking (albeit sometimes quite unsuccessfully). It's also worth mentioning that Hunt's simplistic visual style (have you noticed that his characters often lack lips?) makes for a brilliant combination that can take the reader from gleeful laughter to straight-up deep philosophical thoughts in one swoop. So, Pandas, scroll down below and tell us what you think and which comic was your favorite!

View more comments Bored Panda reached out to Tom Hunt with some questions! First, we asked the artist if he had any major influences in his life that might've helped him to develop and refine his style. "The trio of cartoonists that opened up the world of webcomics to me were Ryan North, Anthony Clark, and KC Green of Dinosaur Comics, Nedroid, and Gunshow Comics, respectively. Anime Club by KC Green remains one of my favorite things ever made. One of the greatest modern comic masterpieces is Pictures for Sad Children, of which I drew a lot of visual inspiration, especially early on. Recently, I've been enjoying Close Your Eyes Look At The Mountains. Juniper Abernathy may be making the best comics in the world right now, everything she releases is gold." #2 scarecrowbar Report Final score: 84points POST Connor Van Der Werf Connor Van Der Werf Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago so true 10 10points reply View more comments #3 scarecrowbar Report Final score: 75points POST best turtle best turtle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago worth it 21 21points reply View More Replies...

Therefore, we asked Tom about that too. "It's hard to explain-I think part of it is compulsive. A comedian once told me they perform on stage every night because of some unquantifiable draw to it-they just *need* to do it. I feel the same way about making things-whether it's comics or any creative pursuit. Woodblock printmaker David Bull has a great video on YouTube about how his art will live on for generations-maybe that's part of it. Through your art, part of you can live forever. Until science discovers the secrets of immortality, in which case it'll turn out I'd have wasted my time." #12 scarecrowbar Report Final score: 47points POST Ryan Deschanel Ryan Deschanel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago So SHE is the bad one just because she willingly disobeys the law and selfishly parties while putting everyone else's life in danger?

If only. 6 6points reply Digital art and art, in general, is not easy and requires a lot of patience, time, resources, and in most cases, even money. Therefore, we wanted to know how the talented artist started his own career in digital art. "I actually had a Tumblr comics blog back in 2011 but didn't stick with it for a myriad of reasons. But I'm glad I came back to it-there's a great tweet from Jesse Moynihan, who was a storyboard artist for Adventure Time at the time. It said: ''I want to make comics but I'm bad at drawing'-Draw, you dummy! Fucking work at something, you lazy pussy!'-I adored that. It was exactly what I needed to hear-not just for comics but everything. I printed it out and taped it to my wall." #14 scarecrowbar Report Final score: 44points POST Ozymandias73 Ozymandias73 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago OMG, has happened to me.

After acquiring a BA in Business with Marketing Management, she decided that she wanted to do something far more creative than her usual marketing business that mostly included researching companies' competitors or working on swot/pestle analysis every single day.

Therefore, we asked Tom about that too. "It's hard to explain-I think part of it is compulsive. A comedian once told me they perform on stage every night because of some unquantifiable draw to it-they just *need* to do it. I feel the same way about making things-whether it's comics or any creative pursuit. Woodblock printmaker David Bull has a great video on YouTube about how his art will live on for generations-maybe that's part of it. Through your art, part of you can live forever. Until science discovers the secrets of immortality, in which case it'll turn out I'd have wasted my time." #12 scarecrowbar Report Final score: 47points POST Ryan Deschanel Ryan Deschanel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago So SHE is the bad one just because she willingly disobeys the law and selfishly parties while putting everyone else's life in danger?

If only. 6 6points reply Digital art and art, in general, is not easy and requires a lot of patience, time, resources, and in most cases, even money. Therefore, we wanted to know how the talented artist started his own career in digital art. "I actually had a Tumblr comics blog back in 2011 but didn't stick with it for a myriad of reasons. But I'm glad I came back to it-there's a great tweet from Jesse Moynihan, who was a storyboard artist for Adventure Time at the time. It said: ''I want to make comics but I'm bad at drawing'-Draw, you dummy! Fucking work at something, you lazy pussy!'-I adored that. It was exactly what I needed to hear-not just for comics but everything. I printed it out and taped it to my wall." #14 scarecrowbar Report Final score: 44points POST Ozymandias73 Ozymandias73 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago OMG, has happened to me.
