I Illustrate The Sad Truth Of Modern Life And Take A Critical Look At Our Society (30 New Pics)
I’m an Italian freelance illustrator from Milan. I work mostly for magazines, newspapers, and websites. When I work on commission I try to find an unusual and effective way to draw the topic that I have to illustrate. When I work for myself, to improve the portfolio, I choose a topic that I feel is more close to my interest.
When I work for clients I work mostly in digital because it is the only way to deliver artwork in the tight deadlines of magazines and ASV agencies;
plus digital media allows me to work with people from any location in the world.
My residency is based in Vilnius, Lithuania. But since 2016 I've been traveling and living in different places: Thailand, Mexico, Colombia, and right now in Bal, doing what I think is called digital nomad.
I work mostly with Photoshop and Painter. It has been a beautiful experience seeing different places and people, but I started to be a little bit tired of moving every time: I think in the near future I will be back in Europe to stay.

We've had a number of kids who got struck down by electrical discharges while trying to take sefies on top of trains (they rarely survive, sadly). Or fell down while taking selfies from the roofs of abandoned construction sites. I suppose other countries have similar cases as well.

Thanks for the downvotes y'all! Doesn't make it less true.

Which sad truth of modern life is this? Can someone help me? I don't get this one... :-/ edit: does it maybe mean that people use sleep to flee/escape from reality? (Because she's diving into space which is unrealistic -?-)

Considering how old the Earth exists and how slow evolution is, it's remarkable how quick human (and technological) progress is ... and also how quick the climate is changing since the 1950s
Sofia Murat 1 year ago
It was slower during the middle ages in Europe, because people were less open to new things, now it'll be even faster.

Not sure what has exactly knocked down Titanic, a bomb or pandemic?

And it does break (the world) in half: those who can provide treatment for their citizens and those who can't. Not to mention those who refuse to believe that the ship was sinking and/or the limited vessels and vests available. Oh boy! So many metaphors... or am I reading too much into it, because I've watched Titanic a few days ago?

In some cultures this is actually some thing they do. Even before cell phones had cameras on them people from certain parts of the world absolutely use open casket and they take photographs of their dead…I do not get it

I took a picture of my husband after he passed. The reason was because he look so happy and peaceful. I had not seen him look so "well" in several years. May sound weird for some but made coping manageable for me.

A lot of these are clever and the art is unique and pretty, but can we give the phone bad ones a rest? It isn't really though provoking if everyone's already said everything there is to say about the problems of technology. Especially the zeroing in on selfies as enemy number 1- when did we decide that taking a picture of yourself is the epitome of evil? I'm trying not to be harsh, I just want to critique that style of commentary.
