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.

Gender Gap
Share what adjusted vs unadjusted gender pay gap is. Read the statistics and then deny they exist like flat earthers, anti vax and climate charge deniers.

Typical - Woman get's "Bullseye"... response: "That's nice sweetie. What a great job for a woman. You may even get a raise! - but you'll still get paid less than the boys... oh and some of the boys are behind, can you pick up their slack? Thanks." Male: does mediocre job most of the time... does something SLIGHTLY above average a few times. Response: "GOOD on ya son!!! What a TEAM player! How astute! Here's your promotion!"
When anything you don’t agree with or like happens do you often see it as an attack on you personally?
Load More Replies...I find it interesting how many people here are saying well men make more because women take more time off to have children. first of all, most women aren't popping out a child once a year lol so that shouldn't effect their wages. second, does no one find it wrong that men don't get to take time off to be with their new born child? I guess that idea is a little to feminist to ponder on. companies can afford to allow PTO for maternity leave for both new moms and dad's, but they don't want to...
No. This does not apply to every industry and a lot of women take time off work to have children; which affects if they are successful getting a new job.
Yes it’s adjusted vs unadjusted wage gaps. It baffles me showing the true facts about it is considered sexist. Women make less money than men in America that’s all that percent gap everyone cites constantly represents. There is still a 5% wage gap vs what men and women make for the same jobs though.

Load More Replies...Ok I definitely believe there was a huge gender gap especially with rights but with the wage gap I dont believe i that, right not if you look at the statistics and experiments men are just on average naturally more confident and impulsive therefore WAY more men ask for raises and take risks then women which in most cases makes the get paid more so its not the gender inequality that makes the difference its that men are more confident and impulsive i know there are also a lot more reasons and explanations but that is just one that explains it look it up
Many of the comments here show just how spot-on all of these are since so many people are reacting so defensively. Before you automatically defend yourself get educated. Nobody needs your opinion about whether or not women get paid less- it’s a proven fact an not up for debate like the rest here.
Before I tought thats the opposite. After some documentation I find out thats its more of a 50/50... But this depends on a lot of factors...
I hate it when people complain about women’s sports being unfair and underpaid, it’s because nobody watches it.
The women aren't getting pregnant alone, but having children only affects their careers. They aren't pigeon holed into lower paying jobs by choice. They aren't choosing not to get the same pay for the same work. So which choice are you referring to? Being born female? No choice there either.
Load More Replies...No it's to show that women have to work harder but they still get less
Load More Replies...The targets are the same size it’s an optical illusion ones just really far away
Load More Replies...You are correct! But despite all the achievements, they get paid less than men!!!!!!!
Load More Replies...oh shut up. its not ALL white men but the stereotypical american man is a christian straight rich white republican.

As I have said many times, there is no shortage of money, it's simply in the wrong hands !!!

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".

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
Immigrants
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.

Thoughts on his thoughts: Type 1: “It’s not a prison! It’s a protective enclosure! I’m the good guy here! Your attitude is exactly why I get distant....” Type 2: “I’m not being judgemental or sexist against women! I’m standing up for women! I’m not like those bad men who take advantage of women, pulling the wool over their eyes.. I’m saying it like it is. They should be more grateful for men like me, upholding real values that benefit women.” Type 3: I love women! They’re the best! Let me speak for them; I know the best way to explain.”
Globalization
isn't this good? look at all the trees on the outside. studies show that of we lived in a place as tightly packed as new york all humans could live in iceland. this isn't bad per say...
Fake News
It would be AWESOME if we had stricter laws about what gets labeled as news. Commentary =/= news. Inflammatory or beside-the-point statements =/= news. Making statements intended to imply so not actually lies =/= news. None of those things are news. It should all be required to be labeled in a visible box on the side of the screen “legally, this show does not meet the required standard to call itself news”

I'm still really confused about what the wage gap is meant to be. No one can seem to agree on anything whether it's women in general being paid less or women who have very similar jobs and their male counterparts being paid more or the many factors that are involved in why people do tend to do certain jobs (Or in some places simply banned from them.)

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.
Load More Replies...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?
