Public: Buckets

“Micro” about insects with references to memes, cinema and relevant news from the “Education” piccher.

At the beginning of 2018, a public account “Bukashki” appeared: its author publishes comics in four frames about insects that discuss everyday and “philosophical” problems with reference to mass culture. In March, the community attracted the attention of VKontakte users - it received a mark of Prometheus . TJ spoke with the creator of “Bukashki” - an illustrator of the public “Education” Evgeny Green.

Zeleny said that the public appeared on January 1, 2018: “After the New Year's Eve, when all my friends parted, I sat down at the computer and decided to draw. Then the idea came to start a year with some challenge-for example, draw something on a certain topic every day. ” So that the project does not take a lot of time, Eugene dwelled on "simple characters."

I work as an illustrator, and I have to draw a lot of people's characters. I wanted something more abstract and simple. In addition, the bugs may have their own bukashny problems, this expands the range of situations.

Buckets with humor discuss everyday problems with each other, which relate to work, deadlines or laziness. But there are more abstract situations.

Initially, the comics came out every day, which was reflected in the name of the public - “Bukashka every day”. But Eugene admitted that he had stopped enough time for such a dense schedule, and did not want the amount to prevail over the quality.

Sometimes the bugs are starting a conversation about people - and they do not always understand them.

In comics, references to memes, literature, cinema and music often appear. Zeleny said that his beloved meme of their latter is “ Bund ” about a monkey with a club. But he does not yet imagine how it can be used in "bugs".

“Bukashka is not quite about memes. Rather, it is a microsite where most of the series is some kind of thought that I try to tell funny, ”the illustrator emphasized.

One of the last mention of memes is the version of the “greatest meme in history” by Loss , which is depicted by caterpillars.

The main work of Eugene is the public " formations ". He also has another personal project - GRE3N .
