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.
Clean The Planet
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.
Better they divorce than let the child live in a battlefield.

My besites parents divorced and she well just couldn't take it and killed herself....we were only 12..this is what our world does to people
That is terrible. Sounds like things were handled incredibly badly.

Disagree. If the divorce is that bad, do you really think they'd get along smoothly if they were still married? There might be more fake smiles, but children would still notice something was wrong. And think that a model relationship is resentful cohabitation.
Yes that was totally how me and my sister felt when my parents split, but I think what the artist is trying to say is that it is very hard to choose between your parents in that kind of situation. I was lucky because my dad bought a house in the same small town that my mum lives in, so we swap houses once a week, but we are still constantly being put in this situation, if extremely downscaled, where we are forced to choose a side,or a parent, or a house.

Not always true. Can't pretend a marriage in order to not hurt their children. Sometimes that big lie is more hurtful than divorce. Yes, there are some parents that de-attach from their kids as well as from their spouse, but it isn't a rule. This just can not be generalized.
My daughter was so thankful we got divorced, now she doesn't have to see her parents fighting any more. Now my children can see healthy, instead of toxic, adult relationships, and know they have two parents who love them regardless of who lives in what house.
I think this is more about how divorce is handled than divorce itself. One of my best friends got divorced because his wife was abusive. They were creating a horrible place for all three of them (they have a little girl). Now he's a wonderful dad, but his ex uses the girl against him. She doesn't give a s**t about the kid other than how she can use her to hurt him. Every situation is different, but people could be better and care about the kid instead of their petty fights.
I know a divorce lawyer - that is sadly a very common state of affairs. One mother has so brainwashed their child that they refuse to see their father at all and yet there doesn't seem to be any truth in what the mother has said. The judge is furious and quite rightly trying to adjust the balance.

My parents divorce was the best thing that ever Happend to me, not because they hated each other (they actually became close friends afterwards) but because I got a loving step mom and sisters
Marriage is based on list and ownership, children are brought into many marriages for the wrong reasons. Children are a life long commitment to nurture into good honest adults. Children often become pawns, and the real victims of broken marriages
we already knew that this artist is fond of making huge generalisations
The fathers can do that to, it doesn't have to be the woman OR better thought... both parents be responsible and respectful

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?
