76 Thought-Provoking Illustrations About Modern Day Issues That You’ll Need To Look Twice To Understand
Davide Bonazzi is an illustrator from Bologna, Italy, who creates thought-provoking images about modern-day social issues. He is a full-time illustrator and has been drawing since he was a child. "In a way, I've created illustrations from childhood, from the moment I could hold a pencil," he told Bored Panda.
The artist combines digital media with the textures of real objects to give his drawing ideas a unique signature look. When asked about inspiration, he said: "I think inspiration is overrated: the most important thing in order to get good creative ideas is concentration. Illustrators don’t have time to wait for inspiration, they have to find it. The more I rack my brain and stay focused on the subject I have to illustrate, the better ideas I get. This said it’s plenty of things that inspire me in everyday life, especially related to visual arts, films, graphic novels, documentaries, etc."
"The thing I like the most is the possibility of drawing all day long, working on thrilling projects, and sharpening my skills every day. I feel lucky to have turned my lifelong passion into a real job. I know this may sound strange to many people, but these cartoon drawings make me feel alive and happy!"
Below you can find some of his meaningful artworks. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

If everyone really, I mean REALLY, understood science, then we'd have no racism.
True. The current racist US president is attempting to shut down scientific progress as a whole. Quite terrifying.
Load More Replies...We're all human and should all be treated like it, but I also think we are all different and should embrace our heritage.
Embrace our own heritage without negating another's....
Load More Replies...There is no such thing as race. The idea of race has been create to separate and oppress.
Race isn't entirely a 'construct' though. A group of people living in isolation for hundreds of years do tend to exhibit unique traits separate from other groups.
I LOVE this and can't wait for a world where this is possible! Band together people we can make it go away! I live in a small rednecky town and my husband is mixed and so are my children and sometimes we still get looks. My baby cousin is going through this now and I had to tell her that there's NOTHING wrong with interracial relationships. And that they need to hold their head up high and keep doing them, bc that's the only way the world will change. By seeing STRONG NON racists people and couples standing together and not caring about what those ugly hearted people think!
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, who was arab himself, said that there is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab, except by piety" Emphasizing the equality of all in front of Lord, Who likes more those of people who obey His commandments, and doesn't discriminate by skin color or social level
We are all human, and therefore the same. But each race has different ideals, morals, religions, thought processes, etc. The struggle is to embrace your own culture while simultaneously allowing others to embrace their own, and realizing no race is "wrong" for beliefs we simply do not understand. Ignorance can be solved if people are open enough to learn about others...
The differences in how people look is a result of phenotype, how our genes express themselves, beneath the surface we are all the same. Google "out of Africa theory" and "human evolution". Read Peter Bowler. We are one people. Race is a construct, a fallacy, a divisor.

The crossed fingers behind their backs signify King's X. The gesture was originally meant as a sign of truce or immunity, but has warped to mean immunity from keeping one's word. All sides talk about putting a freeze on the arms race, but secretly intend to keep right on producing weapons.
I have no idea who this Davide Bonazzi guy is, but Davide, if you're reading this: You got yourself an(other) admirer. Wonderful art, my friend.
Going into debt for your wedding, not a good way to begin a life together!
So, what are the albums here? I see the Velvet Underground, Bowie, maybe Queen(?), the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Miles Davis. White bars on red might be New Order. Or Talking Heads? But what about the two with close-up faces? (Maybe one is Lou Reed?) Or the one with the crescent moon and stars?
I'm witnessing my dad's dementia, and watching his brain sink beyond the horizon. This one hurts.
Information overload - we're over-saturated with information from social media, the news etc. It makes the mind crowded, and hard to form an unbiased opinion.
It was Charles DeGaulle who said that "counties don't have friends, only interets." I'm very happy that American and Isaeli interests much more frequently than not coincide with one another. It's a good thing for the World.
Todays careers. While we used to be able to climb the ladder, retire with a company.... now a days there is no such thing as employee loyalty... they'll pull the ladder right out under you.
Showing the world is one giant Jenga tower with all the animals on it. The more that we wipe out the more unstable the tower. The only piece that is truly not needed it humans.
They do this in Norway too... I know most of the world thinks of Norway as a rich country where people can get help wherever, but that only used to be true... In one of our neighbor cities they closed down the hospital. If you have an emergency in that town now you have to drive (yes drive, they won't pick you up by helicopter or anything cause that costs too much) about 90 km to get to the nearest hospital. This is northern norway. In the winter, this distance can last for about 4 hours if it snows (which it usually does). Last year someone died because they couldn't get treatment in time but the government scoffed it away...
Listening is a lonely process of navigating a maze of thoughts and language.
Including all the people irrespective of there country race nd gender.
This image represents stereotypes good God not everything you see is racist.
That’s a USB port symbol. People would rather play golf on their phones than get off the couch and experience life!
