Published 4 years ago

There are numerous things wrong with today’s society, yet somehow we’ve gotten so accustomed to them, we barely even notice them anymore. Wars, global pandemics, government surveillance – it almost seems like it’s the norm nowadays. However, there are still people out there who make sure we don’t forget about all the wrong things that are going on around us – and one of them is artist John Holcroft.

The artist creates satirical and eye-opening illustrations about the modern society and you’ll be surprised by their accuracy. The man has been working as an illustrator since 1996 and his works have been featured in numerous publications, including Telegraph, Guardian, and Times.

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?
