#13 Pokemon Says GO!
This time the famous artist strikes again with the current fad of Pokémon GO as an app/game taking over the globe, and his observations are spot on as usual.
Are we playing Pokemon, or is Pokemon playing us?
#12 Blood money.
This picture shows the power of the dollar and its connection to war. A lot of money can be made from war, but also lot of soldiers sacrifice their lives for it.
#11 The Irony.
This picture shows society's ironic treatment of cats versus farm animals. In the house cat is treated like a king, sitting patiently and waiting to feast on any number of animals from the butcher's farm.
It shows how human beings favor the few domesticated animals, while milk the others till their death.
#10 The Education system.
This picture shows how our education system is forced upon us. We have no choice of what to learn, no freedom to be different, just a pressure of the system and people who has power over us.
#9 Where are the promises?
This picture is so direct and it speaks to my repulsion for politicians and the bullshit they talk.
No matter what a politician talk, say, in the end they will forget everything. All the fake promises remains and its same all over the world.
#8 The difference.
This pictures shows two types of reality. It shows the difference between their childhood. Both of them have their toys, but the rich kid plays with it, while the poor kid works with it.
#7 Individual needs.
A strong difference between the rich and the poor is shown in this picture.
It show the rich have education, so the kid spells the apple, while the poor are just struggling to get food, so the kid just want to eat the apple.
#6 Alcohol = Death.
Alcohol addiction can lead to death.
The picture is of an individual chugging a beer bottle with a floating fishing line in it. One can foresee the future, as he drinks the ale, the snare gets closer to hooking him in.
#5 Children playing.
Some people are just born to be slaves.
#4 City sky.
No one is nearly as concerned with observing the artist as they are observing his work: A splash of color in an otherwise dreary world.
#3 Christmas.
Christmas is now largely dictated by China since most of the toys that are delivered are made there. People working for next to nothing are making sure that our children have a nice day.
#2 Wireless.
It was a time when we used to have landline telephones, but now everybody has a cell phone and can talk to anyone they like from anywhere.
#1 Violin.
Even if you don't agree with the messages behind some of these illustrations, it’s impossible not to appreciate the creativity involved in them. Maybe we really do need to start paying more attention to the things we accept as part of our daily reality.
