313Kviews
“Life is too short to get a real job,” says Elia Colombo, also known as Gebe, and we are nothing but grateful for his unusual motto, as it got this Italian artist to where he is now. Gebe combines his passion for graphic design and philosophy to create thought-provoking, cool drawings.
The freelance designer, illustrator, and self-named ‘free spirit’ turns his views and observations into colorful conceptual deep drawings that hold a mirror to social problems, pointing out its flaws with a fair share of humor and irony. Gebe seeks perfection in simplicity, which results in a minimalistic and provocative satire in an image.
In his polished illustrations, Gebe reflects on controversial topics, such as social habits, media, religion, and self-love making us face the harsh reality of today’s world.
These clever illustrations provide quality food for deep thoughts, so we hope you are hungry!

Breaking The Rule
I dunno, these things are not as bleak as it makes out. Giving birth, a good childhood, an education, Family, a rewarding career... when these are done right, they are kinda awesome. What else am I supposed to be running off to that is so amazing anyways?

This may not be what this is trying to get across, but it makes me think about school teaching us calculus but not how to do our taxes (or other things similar to that). Sure, we may feel good learning things that may or may not help our fancy future careers along, but wouldn't it be better to make sure we get what everyone has to do as an adult first?

Back To School
I loved school at every age, I never felt this way. I always thought summer break was too long. And as an adult I went back for evening classes just for fun. I guess to each his own.

So apparently this person thinks TV rots your brain, social media makes people "sheepeople", religion sucks, and they feel depressed. They also live in the UK. My advise, stop watching crappy TV, religion isn't bad; some extremist just make it seem that way, most people just want to fit in and connect, eat more avocados, take a walk and get some sunshine. Life is all about perspectives. Change yours and it will be better.
This person must really hate school. Must have had a bad experience at school.
Totally agree. Kind of feel sick with all these. This may be true, but there's no solution, no way out, while I feel there are so many things we can do individually: read books, broaden your perspectives, look at how beautiful the world can be when we respect it.
So apparently this person has a great imagination + creativity + cynicism♥
Bob, religion is bad!
Religion is a concept/idea. People are bad, not ideas.
Take some time to understand?! Really?! Bwahaha!!!
SOOOO much dime-store high-school philosophy.
