Interview With ArtistIf you're a regular reader of Bored Panda, you know that we love comics! And what's not to like about them? They are fun, they are entertaining, and can tell something more about us and the world we live in. That's why we are always excited to share new works of well-known comics artists as well as introduce you to newly discovered talents.
Today we are happy to present to you Tim Thavirat. He is a comic artist from San Diego, California, USA. His works illustrate fun, random and sometimes annoying moments in life that you might find relatable. The artist shared that he has always written little observations that made him laugh. "I enjoyed funny comics as a kid ('Foxtrot', 'The Far Side'), and in my 20s I saw 'Perry Bible Fellowship', Brad Neely, and thought I should give it a try."

Tim shared that he's always been into making videos, cartoons and comics. He studied film in college and has worked in video editing and motion graphics. The artist shared that he enjoys playing drums as well and is "kinda all over the place" when it comes to the arts. You can find some random work by Tim on YouTube.
Tim's drawings are just the everyday people that he sees doing ridiculous stuff. "It always comes from everyday interactions or people watching. I recommend always having a notepad or phone handy, to write down your ideas for later."
The artist appreciates the kind comments and reactions from his followers. "It’s amazing to see people connect with your work and share it with their friends. I love knowing that people share my sentiments on these things."
We got curious if Tim has any advice for someone who aspires to become a comic artist one day. "I’m definitely not the comic artist to learn from if you’re a serious illustrator. But, as with anything, pick out your favorites and just mimic them. As you go, you’ll figure out your own style. And whether it’s 2 minutes or 2 hours, devote some amount of time to it every. single. day."
The artist loves how much can be conveyed in a single frame. "If you set it up right, you can give people perspective that they might enjoy — and also might need." Tim told us that he really loves connecting with people in that way.
The artist also shared that his latest venture is Infographx media where he creates animated training videos and more for companies. "We’d love to hear from anyone who’s interested in collaborating on animated videos."
