There are many sad truths about today’s world, including the fact we have created a world that is far more stressful than it needs to be. Instead of being happy with what we have, food, water, sunshine, love, we want more. More. MORE. We are a consumer-driven society so obsessed with the latest designer goods and tech gadgets that we are willing working ourselves to death for literally no reason at all.
London-based illustrator and animator Steve Cutts wishes our world were a different place, and so he’s decided to do something about it by using his artwork as a catalyst for change.
Back in the day Cutts had two decisions: work at McDonalds or study Fine Arts, he decided to go all in with the arts and he hasn’t looked back since. Post-graduation Cutts worked at Glueisobar as the main storyboard concept artist. He has since moved to freelance work, as well as trying to change the world with his harsh illustrations.
Steve Cutts is well known for his videos and illustrations that depict the sad truth about today’s world. He has endless material to base his artwork on, after all says the “insanity of humanity is an endless pool of inspiration.”
