hmmm

Steve Cutts is a London-based illustrator. His distinctive work is heavy on social commentary.

Cutts particularly likes to focus on the fast food industry, the obesity epidemic, and the general apathy represented in modern culture.

Here, Christmas (or the greatest "consumer holiday") is shown as the driving force behind exploited factory and sweatshop workers.

Cutts will make you question everyday habits.

Corporatism and Capitalism are shredded in the illustrations.

1% of people control over half of the world's wealth.

Cutts' illustration techniques vary. He sometimes uses a 3D cinematic style, and sometimes he uses a more 90s cartoon style reminiscent of Rocko's Modern Life.

In a world where we're fed bulls*** on the daily through "news" establishments that are after ratings and the almighty dollar...

"Social commentary" like this could be done just as well by a 13 year old hipster

Unfortunately, it seems to neglect the fact that capitalism has been the only real force for raising the living standards of the world.

"Social Commentary". You mean just portraying today's generations as fat, unhealthy, mindless, slaves to technology? How original.

"Heavy handed* on social commentary". This doesn't alter my perspective in any way. It's just illustrations of tired clichéd critiques.

"Cutts will make you question-" No it won't. Come on man. I mean, I appreciate your appreciation but beyond that, no.

Being self righteous and edgy doesn't make you a saint. Makes you a cunt.

Does Cutts hunt his own food and make his own clothes?

Based on the above comics, no. He collects a welfare check and whines that he doesn't get more from productive members of society.

This is neither clever nor is it good handicraft. It's sloppy and easy, cheap punchlines that was last seen on FaceBook.

Idk about you guys but I'm like 80% sure this guy doesn't like capitalism a whole lot

Funny, since he wouldn't be able to draw/share these cartoons without capitalism and the stuff it created (photoshop, social networks etc)

It would take a Hillary supporter to not see what these images mean. Just look at the denial they're in right now.
