I found an amazing illustrated poster about Palestine made by Franz Kraus, “Visit Palestine” from 1936, and I tough myself : why not do some other ones, same style, but with some "actual and accurate" subjects : pollution, migration, war, etc.
Here is the result but the project is still on going. Wich city will be next?

Visit Borneo
The orang-outan should be shown burning because that's what happens, they are burned alive, you can see them run out of the forest with their fur on fire, sometimes holding their little one also burning alive.
Visit Faroe
Seriously people they kill to eat the meat rubbish they hid behind the tradition card. This is nothing more than brutal murder and torture of innocent family pods swimming innocently by. Anyone who has witnessed the footage of the pilot whale killings and are not sickened by what they have seen are as sick as they are Children playing with unborn foetuses, calves fully formed thrown into garbage bins this is nothing more than criminal Children watching and taking part this is surely child abuse we protect our children from the horrors of the world not involve them The supermarkets are full they are not short of alternate food whT happens if there Re no grinds do they not eat Leave the whales alone they do not belong to the Faroes????
Visit Male, Maldives
I like the poster style! Some of the messages are unpleasant for sure, but simplying showing the things that are a part of that country that aren't necessarily advertised.
Visit Bagdad
Been like this since Christopher Columbus thought hang on is that land I can see .....
Visit Phuket
This is not accurate - there should be about 2000 tourists on that beach. And don't forget the petrol fumes...
Visit Lesbos
....We don't create refugees in Greece you know, we are welcoming them and we do try our best...
@vetcoach mv I don't think that was the intent. To me he's talking about problems that this world has and people having to flee there homeland in dangerous ways because is more dangerous to stay, is a problem...they should have to leave at all.
The people in the water are refugees from africa/the middle east, coming to the greece islands....

so, you think that having desperate people trying to reach the shore of a safe land and country would harm your vacation? Or that this is something that the locals could of have avoided, like they had a choice? Or maybe you consider the refuges as being waste in the sea? That is so wrong from you
That's definitely not what the author meant. The poster series is reflecting the global problems through formerly (or still) popular vacation destinations - in this one it is not the refugees themselves being the global problem, but the situation that has forced them flee. To compare to others in the series: the orangutans are not guilty for dying out in Borneo and stray dogs are not guilty for starving in India. Hope i have made my point, cheers.

Sure, it's Lesvos and Greece's fault that this is happening... Don't mind the fact that most of the EU countries refuse to take refugees even after they have signed the aggreements to do so and some EU leaders have even suggested to the Greeks that they should just sink their boats before they reach the shore. Don't even blame Turkey for doing nothing to stop the Turkish traffickers because Erdogan sees the refugee crisis as a way to sneak his way into the EU by blackmailing it. The island of Lesbos as well as many other islands lives from tourism and now this is gone. Those people are ruined from the ongoing economic crisis and the lack of income from tourism but they are still doing their best to help those drowning 'rejects'. Very informed drawing!
Letting those ppl come is not Greece's fault my friend, it's Greece's sign of civilization. Every country in Europe should do the same. Life should be above all.

Well since it is the same colour as the beach, I would say it represents sand up her unclothed butt crack. But I may be wrong.

I know how this shows some of the reallity of these places but isn't it kinda hypocryte to point out only the bad reality of underdeveloped countrys but not of your own like Belgium, USA and others like if they were perfect?
I think you're looking at this all wrong. It's not about who's "perfect" and who's "bad" - it's not a contest for a prize of the worst/best place to live. Try not to look at this with "Well, other places have some bad things about them too!" attitude, but rather "Darn, we should try to prevent those awful things happening".

hey guys, .. be logical, no drama.. nothing wrong with the posters.. all places have these kinds of problems. the artist just emphasize them. we, no matter where we were born in the countries affected or not, just need to accept the problems and do something to make these posters untrue in the near future. stop blaming but start "developing"!
Such cool postcards! finally something authentic, I would like to print them :D
I think it's the plastic tray you can find when buying some beer cans. The kind from Happy Feet.

These are good, but it is missing the one with the 19 year old 'digital nomad' living in Bali off his parents credit card claiming to be a life coach.
Any idea why these all-over-the-world problems were deliberately shown associated with these few handpicked places?
Because why should they have 800,000 cities in one article just because you are offended that people litter?

You have created very telling posters. I especially like Borneo and Faroe Islands. I need to say however, that you need to get the real "Palestine" story. There are thousands of "Palestinians" living peacefully in Israel. They work and practically run the Old City of Jerusalem. No one bothers them, and they don't bomb people. The people of Gaza put themselves there. The men never do a minutes work. They sit in the street smoking hash and drinking coffee. The women do all the work. They depend on Hamas for food and clothes, in return when their children reach the age of 5 they give them to Hamas to be trained as suicide bombers. At 5 years old they learn to shoot an automatic. I travelled the whole region for over 4 years as a 'travelling hippy' type. I was with an American boy who was murdered in Gaza just for being Infidel. I was attacked in Lebanon for wearing a T shirt on a burning hot day. Be careful whose side you choose on the issue of Syrian so called refugees.
It's not meant to uplift you but to show the reality of our world.
