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
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?
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
9-11 Homage To The Victims
Journalists: Now And Then
Army Tradition vs. Army Diversity
Homeschooling
I don't know about you guys, but I've been homeschooled my whole life. We use books, mostly.
You Really Don't Care
Most people don't, for real. We're selfish beings worried about our own survival
Where Do We Come From?
Running With Your Fears
Cannabis Vending Machines
Gender Equality In Conferences
It's important to have diversity. Minorities/suppressed people need representation
Speaking In Public
Keep It In The Cloud
If you put it in the cloud, you give control over it to a scummy corporation. Is it even yours anymore?
Indian Economy
Startups
Diabetes Treatment At Hospitals
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.
