Humanity sucks, everyone’s a loser and a hypocrite, blah blah blah.

So he thinks of some cookie-cutter, center-left cliché and illustrates it? I hope I’m not the only one who finds that rather pretentious and contrived.

Beautiful and thought provoking.
You are in the grip of the muse.

@Derek and Nicolas

Yeah, let’s not confront social issues; they’re too cliched.

@Robin

If we were to grant—for no good reason, really—that the point in the creation and distribution of these pieces is to combat social issues, then I’m afraid our artist doesn’t come off any better for it. The ideas at play here matter, but dressing them up in such a way—devoid of originality or insight and therefore poignancy—doesn’t do them any justice. In fact, it trivializes them.

These are fantastic. I’d love to know their titles.

I’ve got no strong feelings on the message contained within them but, purely as illustrations, they just aren’t anything special. I couldn’t do better, I admit, but I could easily source a dozen illustrators tomorrow who could knock out something every bit as good.

wow so creative i love it

Yep. Every ignorant stereotype seems to have been represented. Very “in the box” and templated.

How you could not immediately identify this art as racists and condem is telling.

Resist all forms of racism.

God, I am so sick of everybody saying dumb stuff. Just PLEASE look at the paintings, and if you don’t like them, don’t get into a huge deal with some random person on the internet. Please? I like the paintings. But that is just my opinion.

these are fucking heavy

Wow!! Very interesting and well thought out :)

I guess the pictures have done their job, to have people thinking/talking about it! cliche? honest? racist? excellent art? or “could find a team to put it together myself” ???
To say its cliche or irrelevant is all well and good for the society you are in, but where i come from these issues arent talked about… And they are real. So having an artist bold enough to visualise it in such confronting and cleverly thought out art is always refreshing. Unless by defintion of cliche you meant assumption and its your hand sweeping the broken pot under the museum? hmmm. Yeah poke your head back in sand.

All those who are putting these paintings down as ‘left-wing propaganda’, ‘yeah humanity sucks – so what’, and calling them ‘un-original’ and ‘made for profit’… all those people are the fuckers that are responsible for screwing things up even more every f***** day of their lives because they have given up! Realized that the world is screwed and now it must be every man for himself. When they see these pictures they are just reminded of the negative effects their lifestyle and their indifference have on the world.

There is not, or can ever be enough protest art of any type. well done! and ignore some of the ignorant comments made by the people some of your images are probably aimed at.

The artwork is okay, but it conveys sordidness and blatant leftism. Not that I don’t support the humanitarian messages being expressed in the work, of course I do, it’s just that the artist has exploited the messages to sell the artwork rather than… well, actually help or freshly advocating the issues.

thank you

great stuff. a positive message is a positive message. if you are right wing don’t look at the pictures! Geez people lighten up.

I love the art work, very thought provoking!!
Great work!

This art can brake your mind but only such art can be called real

if an artists work is not inspiring controversy the artist isnt doing their job. take everything on here whether it be compliment or insult and make it a positive by knowing that you are doing your job. good work.

He’s not just copying some common messages, he has the capability to realize what other’s have also, and he expresses that in a way unseen. Not everyone is just stemming off of other’s thoughts, that’s an idiotic assumption for we all live in this same world and have brains. Anything that will remind us of our injustices is welcome in my eye’s anyways and if it wakes up some unseeing folks then lovely, so be it.

Oh and this is to the moron who said “he’s just making his art for the money” , I’m paraphrasing, your statement is not worth re-reading, dick – we’re all in this economy and we all have stomachs, stop trying to starve the artists. He did rework it, he made images that would easily remind people of problems he wanted to fix – using art as a medium to convey a real message, not to exploit an issue. You say hee didn’t advocate for them and I deem you heartless or mindless he showed so much sorrow for a lot of the issues and if you can’t see that you’re blind.

I just had to send this along. The pictures are so provocative. Each one
Makes you think in such a political but contrasting humanistic way.
love you hope you got this.
Love,
me

This work touches me. Very Nice. And a big “Fuck You” to the neo-con philistines that can’t stand seeing art that tells it like it is. It is only “cliche” because we have to constantly cram these reminders down your corporate blood sucking lie holes. Fuckin Pigs.

The illustratios are very cynical but so true!

cliche or not, we still doing the same shit.

Nice points of view. Brilliant

This is awesome and sobering art.

Stunning work. Intelligent and well done! Thought provoking, thank you.

I love the cowboy involved in rodeo, as the driving force and the ultimate loser in the economic downturn – especially so when thinking back on the origins of cattle herding in Spain and the Eurocentricity of the mode of language and though which spawned the economic system… AWESOME work
