Have you ever stopped to think about the world and its problems or why things are this way or not? I'm sure you have.
My name is Daniel Garcia, and I'm a professional illustrator working regularly with several publications and companies in more than 20 countries. Mostly I do conceptual work, where it's important to have a strong idea and create an illustration that explains quickly and visually things from politics to culture, technology to the environment. While society can be fair and unfair in many ways, in the end, it's just talking about people and their issues and asking difficult questions.
I’m always producing new stuff, and after the success of my previous posts on Bored Panda, I’ve decided to show you another selection of my best works to show some of the problems afflicting the world.
So what about you? What are your questions? Do these illustrations make you think or they don't do anything for you? Please let me know! Click here and here to see my previous articles!

Expensive Medicine
I feel this so hard now that income is no where near cost of living. (In the USA, can ya tell?)
The main goal of my illustrations is first to cause a reaction in the viewer, but most importantly, to make the person think about the different issues depicted and ask themselves difficult questions. They don’t have to agree with it, but if it can inspire some people or some change, it’s already a win!
Coronavirus Depression
I actually prefer people being more respectful about personal space since the virus. It's been harder finding a job though.
The Shadow On The Wall
I studied architecture, but I decided to follow my passion and become an illustrator/cartoonist. I’m a self-learned artist, I had no formal training so it was (and it’s still) a long process of discovering and improving myself and my work. As a child, I was an avid reader of comic books, especially European ones. Visual storytelling has always fascinated me and I got into art naturally. I started drawing for fun and it developed over the years into working professionally as an illustrator.
Vaccine
Violence Against Transgender
Mostly, I do conceptual work for different publications, where it's important to create an illustration that explains quickly and visually an idea. Sometimes the concept comes to me immediately, but sometimes it takes a few long hard thinking days.
Time To Save The Earth Is Running Out
Mending The Flag
If you don’t think Joe Biden is cognitively impaired, I think you’re either in denial or you are also cognitively impaired.
cant even remember the guy his making deals with name, Duh - who did I just make a nuclear deal with
Load More Replies...I’m willing to give it a shot but 3 trillion dollar ideas are scary, just like the wars.
Absolutely Do NOT agree with this one. Before you start with the trump accusations I didn’t vote for either they are both idiots. I hear people saying he’s bringing us together but explain to me why he used the black live matter movement to get votes yet has done nothing about it since in office. Got Latino votes yet locked people out of the country until he started looking bad when thousands of people specifically came to the border for what he said. Don’t get me started on the problem in Afghanistan and Syria with soldiers dead and now trying to violate constitutional rights ( IM PRO VACCINE SO DONT GO THERE) it’s looking to be he’s a fumbling idiot. I don’t think trump or Biden was fit for this election I wish there was a better candidate to have been chosen. Mending America ? Huh
It remember me about Ulysses and Penelope's tapestry: Biden undo as well at night?
trump is hardly younger and has a shitty spray tan.
Load More Replies...funny all media support Biden, all Media hate Trump, Funny Media is owned my filthy rich people.... trust the Media, they wouldnt lie, follow like sheep, let them tell you what is good for you - Like Biden...
lmao y'all seem to think you're oppressed.
Load More Replies...Only one side has extremists and the last time they gathered was Jan 6 in an attempt to overthrow a free and fair election. If you think black people protesting against being murdered by police is “extremist” then you might want to look that word up
Load More Replies...Awwwwe... did you and your widdle fashy-trashy fwends wose an ewection? Again? But this time not even the Electoral College could save the GQP? Drumpsterfire was an incompetent buffoon who never used more than 300 basic english words during his entire time grunting around his stolen office. Die mad about it.
Load More Replies...I cover many things from politics to culture, technology to the environment. While society can be fair and unfair in many ways, in the end, it's just talking about people and their issues. My style is realistic and based on a traditional illustration with digital coloring. And my humor is around 50cm long, 5kg, orange fur… no wait, that’s my cat.
Love Thy Neighbour
Birth Of A Fascist
I started working professionally in 2014 and nowadays I collaborate with several publications and companies in more than 20 countries. I don’t know how long I’ll be doing it but as long as I love what I do, I’ll keep going forward.
Afghanistan
I hate to say it, but I called it twenty years ago. Just like with Vietnam, America never has any plans or ideas of hiw to win a war and no attention span. Well invade and f**k around until we got bored, it's too expensive, too unpopular, whatever... then we leave and act like the resulting chaos is both surprising and unusual l.
Student Debt
This is why I'm not going to college, bc I know I can't afford it.
People usually think art is a matter of talent. It’s not. Practicing every day for years and loving it is what makes you better. But if you don’t love it enough or if you are not persistent, you’ll end up quitting sooner or later.
Vaccinate Vs. Not Vaccinate
Social Media Divides People
China It Control
Racism In Healthcare
A lot of people don't realize this. It's so bad in the U.S. that enough doctors hold the false belief that Black people feel less pain than white people that Black people are systemically under-prescribed pain medication. Here's the study if anyone wants to read more: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4843483/
Is The World Sick?
The Recycling Myth
Smartphone Security
United We Stand
Vitamin D
A supplement is actually healthier than skin cancer. Just because it's unnatural doesn't mean that it's not healthy
Climate Change (In Our Hands)
It's more than transportation though. Everything we consume (food, clothes, tech, plastic etc) contributes to climate change.
Bloodland: Israel vs. Palestine
As I expected, no comments here. What sort of a world do we live in where we are too afraid to have opinions on something as important as this because of the hatred and personal attacks that we risk by doing so?
It's A Man's World
Sustainable Makeup
Eat Healthy
I only sort of agree with those who say it’s about income. In my household it’s about what’s quickest and easiest because time is the resource we have the least amount of right there next to our income.
Miles To Go
Economy Chess
Children Food Policies
Junk food just shouldn't exist at all, you can't miss something you never had
Killer Tourism
Modern Protesters

everyone is allowed a difference of opinion but my god some of these hateful comments are a perfect display of exactly what's wrong with our world
I think the comments of this thread are a better demonstration of what a shitshow humanity is, than any image here.
Some of that garbage is useless and makes no sense, most is wrong.
Could be sharp, but I'm not reading it as it only makes me cynical, this is why I don't follow the news
