The Sad Truth About Today’s World Illustrated By Steve Cutts
1.9Mviews
Art isn’t all fairytale photoshoots and landscape shots – it can also be done in sarcastic, sad drawings and act as catalyst of change. And Steve Cutts thinks that many things in the world should be different. Work shouldn’t be a grinding, soul-crushing rat race for the almighty dollar. Consumerism shouldn’t hold a vice-like grip on our lives. And social media, well, we need to throw off the shackles we so eagerly put on ourselves. Wouldn’t life be better with these social issues solved?
Steve Cutts is an illustrator and animator from London. Faced with the choice of working at McDonald’s or studying Fine Arts, he chose the latter. He worked at Glueisobar as the main storyboard concept artist before leaping to freelance work. Cutts makes videos and images that caricatures modern life and its ironic situations – he states that the insanity of humanity and global issues are an endless pool of inspiration for sarcasm and drawings.

This is so f*cking true.... shocking.
What's more shocking is that people are shocked about it, while supporting political, social and economic vectors that lead to this reality. (capitalism, individualism, atheism)
Atheism doesn't have a single thing to do with anything in any of the pictures. Are you high?
Atheism? What planet are you on? Capitalism and religion are blood brothers! Look on an An American bill of currency — "In God We Trust".
Capitalism is no worse than communism at its extreme. The far-left fights for an Orwellian society while the far-right fights to maintain the Oligarchy.
capitalism isn't necessarily bad, much like communism it's only a bad thing when it goes into extremes (as is the case with all things in life btw) individualism isn't something negative; it's a nessecity for people to be able to express themselves for who they are rather than just being a cog within a giant machine. a person can let his individualism shine & still perform perfectly as a part of a greater whole or entity (aka society), but should never be stripped of his rights to be unique, or he/she just becomes a sheeple atheism isn't bad; quite the contrary: the absence of worship towards a personafied higher force called God/Buddah/Allah means these deities cannot be used to justify immoral actions that are often excecuted by misguided fundamentalists. people shouldn't be religious (sense of following doctrine), they should be spiritual (sense of following what their soul tells them, "listen to your heart", not listening to others and what they force you to see as "right")
Don't feed the troll. It's becoming increasingly obese and only wants more.
"Atheism"? ... You're joking, right? ... We aren't the one saying "God will make everything better. Just have faith!"
Só the answer to fulfillment material and spiritual is socialism, collectivism and religion? These concepts are ~actively~ trying to rob us from the results of our efforts, enslave our spirits and destroy our livelihoods and our very lives. True capitalism is choice. Individualism is the means that we ourselves are our ends, and the guarantee that we won't end up being just a gear on a system that drains our blood and feeds us the clots left on the drainage tank. And organised religion nowadays is used by crooks to separate hopeless folks from the few scrips they still have, and as a "moral basis" for edgy psychopathic teens and mercenaries to hurl aircrafts on buildings, commit baroque atrocities and mass murder.
What is wrong with atheism is that it kills the inner man. Inner conscience is strong in people who believe a divine power.
Nothing wrong with capitalism...but crony capitalism and monopolistic behaviors by corporations that infringe the rights and natural liberties of others is allowed by the politicians because they've been paid off, and IDIOTS think "Their" guy is better. Republican and Democrat are opposite ass-cheeks of the big-govt statist ideology, and Democrats LOVE to tell you how much Republicans stink while they themselves are covered in the big brown skidmark of hypocrisy...republicans would do it as much if they had the balls.
Can you explain the atheism.? There's just no connection in the pictures to that accusation... And I know stereotyping people might your thing if your a bible thumper but, I don't see my self as a bad person. Just a FYI. I agree with these photos as well a reality we ALL face. We have different opinions that doesn't make us what we are... Humans. You and me we are both humans we are the same.... I'm not a devil from hell because only you believe that.... Good day sir.
What's wrong with atheism ?
I agree!
You know what? Capitalism and individualism founded the US. Read Rothbard. Read Von Mises. You're criticizing a philosophy you don't understand. It is the state that allows these atrocities to take place. The state, in partnership with criminals like the Bush family, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, etc subverted the beautiful concept that free people can pursue happiness for themselves without being subjugated. The state subjugates. Not individuals.
what the hell! You really know how to take things way out of context. This article has absolutely nothing to do with atheism. Also, there is nothing wrong with atheism. What's wrong with not believing in god? Also you ignorant boy, capitalism on a lesser degree is completely ok. Misinformed people don't realize the difference between a capitalist on the more social Darwinist side (strongest survive in the economy) and the capitalist looking to exercise his right to lassez faire (free trade with little to no government intervention). A capitalist can either be looking out for himself or himself and his fellow employees. Don't get the idea that a capitalist is just some money sucking scumbag because that's not the whole idea around capitalism. Socialism is practically the same thing as a capitalist in a sense that now the government controls trade instead of an individual company. Also, what's wrong with individualism? Go back to school or something and learn about politics and economics

Yes you are right! I am truly an evil capitalist indivudual who thinks god is a load of crap. Religion serve the powerful very well by keeping you in your faithfull ignorance. Dumbtard!

Pretty much spot on. Of course all the atheists get butt hurt.
The ironic thing is that without social media he wouldn't even be able to disseminate his views and artistry in the first place...
So, he's part of the loop.
It might shock you to discover that there are other ways without social media.
missing the bigger picture, hes using the social media in the correct ways as we should. for enlightment and to WAKE PEOPLE UP!
Arent we all
Not really... He isn't using social media for greed (hopefully). He's just using it to wake people up.
Can't fault his smart career move.
Art existed and was disemmknated long before social media. The Mona lisa predates memes by quite some time.
Back in the day there was the cartoon section in the newspaper? :P
Art existed before social media
Perhaps on the black market :)
You cant change the system outside of it.
And social media was brought to us by communism! Oh wait. Capitalism did that.
Good point. All of us that found our way to this page were asking the right questions. We chose to see it.
fair point
Unfortunately, that's the way it has to be until a change occurs. It's a little like saying "The ironic thing is that he warned his sleeping family that the house was on fire before he left the house."
Social Media's not all bad.
ever hear of a gallery?
i don't see any links to any galleries, but i do see links to his website, fb and twitter
Oh, come on, people. Yes, these are classic topics, yes these are thoughts and images we've all got in our heads everyday, but to bring those thoughts into life is the action, if they stay just in our heads, that's passive. No, these images aren't shocking or new, but they're pretty well made illustrations of problems we still ARE facing today and we will as long as we keep on unimpressingly disrespect the artists who at least are trying. As long as we have to face these problems, the fight is still not over. Keep up the good job. Stay creative. And keep in mind the meaning of "creative" relates to "creation", so the idea itself is not enough unless it's brought out into something concrete.
Yes! Couldn't agree more. Just saying "We're aware of these issues" doesn't mean that this artist shouldn't give his take on them! He's expressing his point of view on these topics.
This is so f*cking true.... shocking.
