I’m a professional illustrator with a strong fondness for political, social and human issues, with more than 10 years experience collaborating with several publications and companies across four continents. For a long time, I wanted to do a selection of my best works to show some of the problems afflicting the world nowadays.
I use a mixed media, that is, I draw and ink the drawings by hand and then color it using a tablet, takes me around 1 to 3 days to each one, depending on how complex. “How are our relationships changing because of technology?”, “We want to save the world, but how dependent are we on other people's slave work?", "What are the ideas that free and restrain us?", are just some of the important issues I want to address.
So what about you? What are your questions? I mean, the really important ones. Please let me know!

Pro Life
Exactly, Pro-lifers ignore the kids living in foster care, and the ones locked up in cages. If they were really concerned about the welfare of children because of what it says in the bible, they would actually be opposed to the imprisonment of child.
I am pro-life and I believe that in order to fix the abortion problem we have to fix the foster and the adoption system (which would take time and is highly unlikely sadly)

@johnsmith who cares there are plenty of born children being killed all around the world. Go save them quick!

Seriously. All you are doing is rationalising that murder is OK. Abortion is murder.
No, abortion is choosing what do do with your own body

this is a disgusting generalisation of the pro life community. SO many pro lifers aren't religious, and SO many pro lifers are helping, assisting and donating to people in crisis however they can (yes, very unhelpful for your narrative i know.) STOP saying it's about religion, a human life is a human life whether or not you're religious, STOP saying we're only pro-birth, not pro life, that's a total misrepresentation, and STOP saying we don't care about the mother because there are SO many pro life organisations that are DEDICATED to helping pregnant women and mothers in crisis, as well as foster kids. and ffs stop downvoting any comment you disagree with. not that this is gonna stop you.
Sorry you have encountered this type of pro-life folks. The ones I know are compassionate about all stages of life and give of their time and money to help.
Not everyone lives in America and I as a UK resident both abhor abortion, what choice does that baby have? I also despair of the fate of children in care that often don't get the care they should. As a pro-lifer and a Catholic I want proper care and respect and happiness for every soul and I am also a vegan. All life is holy.
Pro-birth not pro-life. If you support the death penalty and bombing of countries were civilians are killed, you are not prolife. If you complain about social programs that help women and children because it's paid for with your tax dollars, than you are not pro life.
I enjoy Bored Panda’s content but sometimes they get to fixated on political issues.
They bomb abortion clinics, but what about the unwanted children in orphanages? Each "Christian" that is so "pro-life" should be required to adopt at least one orphan
For the folks who say pro-lifers don't care about living children, your ignorance is immeasurable. I know many pro-life people who adopt, advocate and help where they can. How much of that do you do?
I would if I had the financial means to. I just don't have my degree yet, am still single, and have yet to move into my future home.

Not all Christians are against abortion. The Christians who turn away the women and say, "You're going to hell!" are not real Christians. They're idiots. I'm not exactly for abortion, but I do believe that women have the right to do anything. They are entitled to what ever they want to do and they shouldn't be turned away because some nut-job "Christian" turned them away.
If you do some Bible reading you might understand that the Bible is a book of love and God is just. And their are Christian organizations who support these children as well as mothers and families. You are not God and it is not your choice to make.
Well, God gave us science and medicine, didn't he? How can you be so sure that he did not intended for us to make exactly that decision?

They are not pro-life, they are pro-birth and ant-woman. As long as women are the ones who would be forced to bear children they don't want, as long as men can't be forced to be responsible for all the children they create, pregnant women should have the last word about what is to be done with their pregnancies.
Pro Life .... if it meant we will support you in every $$$$ way thru your pregnancy, be your advocate when dealing with your parents, and fund you thru housing and any education / retraining require after the birth so you can support both mum and child ... and oh ya, go after the sperm donor for financial support. THEN I WOULD BE A PRO LIFE SUPPORTER
I am pro life and I am an adoptive mom. I got a child because someone didn't abort her baby.
Once a child is born, pro lifers turn into "I don't give a sh*t lifers.
Pro-life people are actually pro-birth. They don't give a c**p after it's born.
Can you teach me to read, can you help me learn... wait, this pregnant girl wants to keep her baby!! Are you sure! People ignore what these kids need and so my brother in law, 56, doesn't know how to read. My sister has trouble reading, she calls me and asks me what this and that mean. It is so sad.
I'm not sure about the L, I think that is a bit of a strawman; many prolifers would be helpful to children in need too I think. The left however, is the crux of the issue; focusing on harassing and shaming women instead of supporting them. Focus on helping those with an unexpected baby, rather than forcing women who have made their choice to do do something they do not want to do.
This is the opposite of the other posts: avoiding responsibility (a birth/ pollution) for your actions (sex/ consumption)
Imposing your beliefs to others is just so so wrong... Every country should be laic and make it illegal for any religion to do things like these.
I don't really get the significance of the woman in the middle. I mean, I guess she represents Christians, but you already have the man in the picture representing that sort of Christian, so I think it would've been more cohesive to just have the kids trying to get HIS attention while he was so focused on the fetus.
It's very simple really. If you give me an opportunity to vote on abortion then I would probably vote against it. For whatever reasons I choose... that's my choice..
To be fair, that woman is at least 7+ months in, far too late to be considering abortion. That being said, the image still very much holds water: those who consider themselves 'pro-life' are in reality 'pro-birth,' they don't care about the child after it's born, and want to revoke any tax based programs that would use their money to aide children in need.
But making abortions illegal does not end abortions. Proven again and again, the rates stay the same. It only leads to even more human beings dying.

Poverty
As I have said many times, there is no shortage of money, it's simply in the wrong hands !!!
Health Is A Business
Relationships
I Own The Water
Aaaaaaaaaaaah Nestlé and their ex-boss views... Who may or might not reflect the company views
Facebook Spies
Everything you post online is going to be seen by potential employers, bankers, credit card companies, your doctor, your co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, anyone you want to date, car dealers, insurance agents, rental agents, airlines, hospitals, churches, cable companies, you-name-it they know it, any of your business you put online, and if you "share" enough info, they will be able to guess at even the stuff you don't "share". Have a nice day
Fake News
Exactly and both sides are guilty of putting narrative spin on the news. With pundunts like Maddows, Ingram, Hannity, and others being the worst of the lot.
Depression
Nah, depression is more like that statue of Atlas being sucked into a black hole.
Online Privacy
that's why you should never post anything that can affect your career or personal life online.
Ego
I think its that everyone thinks they are the weird one or the outcast, but in reality, everyone is different.
Out Of Job
There are some jobs out there that I am very glad robots are taking, jobs that are so dangerous and toxic that humans shouldn't be doing them. We as people need to adjust just how our societies run and how people earn a living... technology is making the current systems incompatible with progress
The Virus
If you're saying humanity is a virus, I agree. And the best way to get rid of a virus is with heat.
Divorce
Not always true. When my parents split, my dad wanted nothing to do with me. He moved to the other end of the country, started another family (his third), then went to prison for 5 years for beating his wife. He tried to contact me when he got out, but since he didn't bother for the 20 years he was gone before that, I sent him a message by proxy that he'd had his chances, and never took them, so I wanted nothing to do with him. He's dead now, and that's good, because as far as I know, he assaulted every woman he was ever with.
Opinion Polls
That's true - UK polls for the last election showed things to be very different to the actual outcome.
Fashion
NO ONE in the comments has noticed the point of this. Th point of this is that we are so greedy and lusty that we forget to be a role model for children.
Trump's Wall
Humpty Twat. Sorry, I meant Twat Dumpty. I mean Twat Twat. Massive Twat. I give up...
Media And Facts
Everthing has to be checked now. My best friends are now Hoaxbusters, FactCheck and Snopes.
Greta Thunberg
Donald trump applauded the green world speech of greta thunberg. Though he always says he does'nt believe in climate change. What a wow!
Note: this post originally had 52 images. It’s been shortened to the top 36 images based on user votes.
While I agree with probably 90% of these I fail to see how a series of illustrations is going to change things one iota. Most people are aware of these problems and self righteous cartoons aren't going to bring about any changes or change anybody's mind.
Thanks! You can think about it this way, if images and sounds can influence people negatively (arvertisement, reality shows, news, etc) why can't influence people positively? Changes then happen (or not) by public opinion pressure, consumer choice and sometimes even though vote.

facebook,media,trump,war,technology,pollution ect...the same old "what's wrong with our society" b******t.i especially love when artists blame media and technology,but without them they could not work nor have a job
Yeah, uhm, this is what we need! ANOTHER set of drawings about society. Just insanely unoriginal. I'm sorry, I'm sure these were a lot of work, but come ooon.
Oh come on, why give a title like "My 35 Illustrations Show What’s Wrong With Our Society", when it's absolutely clear some of these are pictures meant to illustrate a specific article, and don't necessarily show any "wrongs", like the "Walking Together" one, fro example?
I might not agree with all of them but i have to say I LOVE your art style. Well drawn!!
Where's the line between impactful and r/im14andthisisdeep? I am confusion.
Beautiful work Daniel, in every possible way. Trolls, and right wingers are strong on Panda, but take heart. You are on the right side of history, and you are opposing what is in truth - evil. The big bad will strike out at you. They may win some battles, but they will ultimately lose the war. May God bless and keep you. I look forward to seeing more of your art in the wider world.
I actually love the illustrations, there's nothing wrong in talking about the ills of the world over and over again so we don't conveniently forget about them.kudos to the artist.
UGH. These are just useless. The most cliché c**p I've seen in a while. Lots of myths in here too. Better luck next time.
Whew, the finest in Leftist propaganda. Dam you people are frikking toxic.
It is no secret that Europe has colonized most of the world, and this is the very reason we are now experiencing planetary degradation, and degradation of every category. Excellent work Daniel Garcia
Whats wrong with our society is accountability and the fact that no one has any.
Daniel, you forgot to include one about being spammed on phones, tv, on line, anywhere and everywhere. Other than that I liked your offerings. They all spoke to me! Cheers!
You would be more convincing about the evils of consumerism and technology if your own website wasn't mainly interested in selling your computer-generated art online. Also, you'd look more like the independent, brave thinker you pretend to be if your opinion on literally anything, from facebook to Trump, could not be guessed easily with about 95% accuracy after seeing two or three of your pictures, at most.
Very biased as usual with this site! Where was the funny picture mocking "political correctness" or the "male education gap" why does it include one about gender pay gaps when that has been proven to be incorrect?
I feel like you feel like you're being personally attacked by illustrations about pollution and addiction?
