Brecht Vandenbroucke is a Belgium-based artist who illustrates the darker side of modern society. His subjects are varied but his work often revolves around one central theme, namely looking at the world from an alternative and often satirical perspective. Whether he's highlighting people's obsessions with social media and technology, emphasizing our habits of following the crowd, or graphically depicting the inevitable cycle of violence that plagues our species, his illustrations act as thought-provoking commentaries on the modern world around us.

We choose to see pretty things. That's why we have pretty cat and dog races for pets and hardly anything else. Strong statement.

I've learned since social media became mainstream, that people pretend well. I know many people who base their self worth on the number of likes they get, who pretend to have the perfect marriage, the perfect children, and the perfect life, when the reality is far from that. And people see those posts and aspire to have it, but they don't realize it doesn't exist! I read an article that said the people who post declarative statements of love for their partners on social media, are THE MOST insecure in their relationships. If people put more energy into their relationships as they do convincing others their lives are perfect, perhaps they'd be a lot happier in those relationships. Just something I've noticed....take it with a grain of salt.

It's almost like we live in a world now, where if it's not documented on social media, it didn't happen. 20 years ago no one felt the need to advertise to the world they were at a concert, a restaurant, a movie, etc. Now its a compulsion.

This is how our demacrocy works haha. Simple people don't understand how difficult politics are so politician abuse that by giving people simple questions and answers they can comprehend while the question itself is already wrong lol.

People who go online are making themselves vulnerable. There is no safety net to fall on if you make one false move. You just fall and there is no one to save you because you can only walk alone. When your offline you don't have to worry about the dangers of online dangers and you can go outside, enjoy the day with your family.

How I feel at work. People giving me conflicting criticism each saying I need to listen to them and only them but they won't ever talk it over with each other and come to an agreement. I need a new job.

The smart kid is noticed by his/her peers and not by the teacher, probably because he/she is the smart one at the back of the class who stays quiet and puts his/her head down and works

This is a bit much. Mozart was good at what he does. Spears is good at what she does. It's like comparing apples with oranges.

Well, the problem is you're selling elaborate coffins in this day and age. Too expensive! And the person's dead! They don't need it! Cremation has gotten significantly more popular. I would also recommend investing in natural burial methods - with any luck they'll be next to catch on. (Yeah, yeah, not the point, I know.)

I find this very reasonable. I got angry faced for not walking endlessly through empty settings of these rows, but just duck and join the queue (without overtaking someone, of course).

These cartoonists, always being so critical of the only thing that makes them known to us in the least subtle or nuanced ways possible. I don't like this trend.
