Published 5 years ago

It seems that these days there’s so much happening around us, it’s easy to lose track of what’s really important. And with constant media cover-ups and distractions, it becomes even harder. Lucky for us, there are still artists out there who dedicate their work to reminding us of the social issues we often forget.

Marco Melgrati is a Medellin, Colombia-based artist who creates thought-provoking illustrations that perfectly capture the sad truth of modern life. In his works, the artist deals with many topics that are more relevant today than ever before, including global warming, obsession with social media, and economic inequality. See Marco’s illustrations in the gallery below and if you enjoy them, we’re pretty sure you’ll love Daniel Garcia’s illustrations too – check them out here!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
