The street artist Dran, born in Toulouse in 1979, is frequently called The French Banksy. These two artists share a critical view of society, power figures and are not afraid to expose their beliefs publicly.
"My father wanted me to work with him in construction, but since my arms are too thin to hold a hammer, I dedicated myself to the drawing," said the artist.
Dran mainly creates paintings, drawings and graffiti art all over France. With his art, he addresses important current issues such as the powers of the authority, sexual harassment, internet addiction, exaggerated media and many more.
Take a look at some of his incredible works and vote for the most powerful ones.

Is a bit ironic...we use paper (from downed trees) to pass out “save our forests” flyers!!!

I had a teacher who would shout at me "WALK WITH YOUR BACK STRAIGHT" every time I arrived at school, in front of everyone. I was a shy, skinny kid and we were forced to carry a bag full of books from and back to school almost everyday because every teacher had homework for us. One day I became so enraged, I screamed back at him: "DO YOU WANT TO HOLD MY BAG, SEE HOW MUCH IT WEIGHTS? MAYBE YOU CAN CARRY IT FOR ME!" Not only did I not get scolded, he did not bother me anymore. We had so much homework and zero free time after class, and all the weight they put on our backs… It's not healthy for the kids. This illustration is so accurate, sure brought back memories :)

Not trying to be controversial but sometimes we need those little outs to be able to survive. Yes, it's important to know the state of our world, but you also need the little things to make you happy. If we constantly focus on the negative and the horrible things, depression will start kicking in. It's the sanity in the insane.

Lol nice. Total representation of the fat, revolting mouth breathers that support a skeezy porn industry that encourages objectification. Also the kind of garbage that will make comments about women’s bodies as if they are some sort of stunningphysical specimens themselves .

I prefer people watching porn to deal with their needs over people who mistreat other humans.
Monilip 8 years ago
if you watch porn, these is big chance you're watching some woman (or man) being forced to do it. So - technicly - you're part of mistreating other humans. Not ot mention fact that porn changes people's behaviour and "just watching" hard stuff usually end with hurting real people

So very sick and sad. As long as this is allowed on the internet other people will feed on the sick minds of less healthy minds. Too bad there isn't a pill to cure this sad illness.

Not everything can be cured with medication. If someone has a problem with porn it is likely to do with a deeper issue that needs to be addressed. For some it's a healthy expression of sexuality. Sexuality isn't wrong and people have differ ways of exploring it. Thinking real life should imitate porn isn't healthy, but most people know the difference between fantasy and reality.

Some of us lost the genetic lottery and will never experience real love or affection. The internet is all we have.

That is not LOVE at all. That is lust and sex. Once you learn the difference you will realize that real love is out there for everyone.

I am a female and I think the comments about how porn is sick, disturbing and degrades woman are ridiculous. Do I believe that there are genres that are inappropriate and disgusting? Absolutely. But I also believe that mainstream pornography, although unrealistic, it's not necessarily unhealthy. I mean there is a problem with addiction, but it's the same with hundreds of other more harmful things. If you view (legal, "normal") porn in moderation in your own home I don't see anything wrong with that. I also believe that those saying that it degrades and objectifies woman are possibly looking at it from the wrong perspective. The majority of woman in the adult entertainment industry chose to be there, in the position of power with their own sexuality. They make a profit and living off of their beauty and "skills" but so do mainstream models and actresses. I don't see much difference. There is a tremendous difference between the prostitution/sex slave market and pornography.

Some people need an outlet when they are lonely or are having repressed sexually feelings and some people just crave the attention for exhibitionism

I agree -- I don't understand all the negativity around this one. Yes, the guy depicted in it seems like the typical "weirdo," but normal people watch porn, too. It's not a sin, nor it is something to be ashamed of. It's simply enjoyable, a stress-reliever, or something else of that nature. And people who generally watch porn for those reasons (i.e. people who are NOT like the person depicted in the comic, since most people who watch porn aren't), don't do so on a very frequent basis ... imo.

Because the Female body is only good for male wank material and thus why it’s offensive to people when a Woman breastfeeds or just wants the same topless rights males won back in 1935.

Now that porn is available free everywhere, people reject it for not being real, I wonder what's next.
PsychoPrincess 8 years ago
Good not rejecting it they're absorbing way too much of it that's all you hear everything is about sex and not about anything of value

This happens, all too often. Here, the Black man is trying to cover up graffiti, and it’s immediately assumed he’s doing something wrong!

I don't think the point of this illustration is that he's "wasting" his job time on art, or that art is not needed..... but that there are so many talented people who cannot pay for proper education that can boost their talent, and their needs are so many that they have to just put their talent aside and "get a job to pay the rent".

I'm from NY and I can completely relate! I honestly HATE it here and feel like most New Yorkers do. But we constantly pretend we love it here and like it's the greatest place in the U.S.A.

I think its about how we all have a happy face in the public, just like Tthe Clown's mask, and it all is just substained in things bought with money - e.g. the cocaine

Are we supposed to know who the original "Banksy" is? Because we don't. It sounds like a cat name.

Intriguing and art of any kind can almost always stir one's own personal imagination where things and secrets often lay dormant. Would love higher resolutions on the pictures to use as wallpaper. Probably not going to happen I guess, but still enjoyable!
