They say “take your broken heart and turn it into art”. In the case of Stephen Beals, it’s more about turning negative emotions into humorous comic strips.
Stephen Beals is an artist who has been drawing comics forever “out of sheer love for the art form.” As Stephen himself said, his illustrations are something he did after work to blow off steam. He titled them “Adult Children” because, according to the artist, “adulthood seems to be a myth that we tell children to make them behave.”
The comics present situations from everyday work life in the retail sector. Although the little bits of work-life are presented in a humorous way, we think most of us can hear the characters silently screaming from helplessness and exhaustion. At the same time, the illustrations are very identifiable.
The artist was delighted that his comics appeared in Bored Panda, as he has always been a fan. “I can only look with one eye open at a post about my work. I’ll try to be brave. I could use both eyes to look. We’ll see, we’ll see…”
