Don’t be fooled into thinking that cartoons are just for kids, cartoonist Steve Cutts<\/strong> has proved that adults can enjoy cartoons as well and even use them to discuss the state of the human race.<\/p>\n His graphic cartoons focus on the strangling hold that capitalism and consumerism have over us <\/strong>and depict how our daily actions are really killing us<\/a>.<\/p>\n His work is not for the faint-hearted, every piece is cutting, strong and powerful, his cartoons speak open and honestly<\/a> about the realities of these ideals, and how people are actually devolving as a result.<\/p>\n Take whatever message from the work you will, it is there to be interpreted. Although, Cutts’ work does seem to have a very clear message. It’s about time we prize free from the chains of modern society, selfish consumerism, social media<\/a>, and the daily grind of working a job you hate just to make enough money to compete, all of it. Cutts’ message seems to be that life really doesn’t need to be one big competition.<\/p>\n Cutts’ credentials speak for themselves, he studied fine arts and worked as an illustrator in London for creative agency Glueisobar<\/em>, who had clients such as Coca-Cola, Google, Reebok, and even Sony, before he broke free to become a freelancer.<\/p>\n He said to Featured magazine about his work:<\/strong> \u201cI like to make animations about life and society in general, so there tends to be a message in most of them. The general insanity of mankind is an almost endless pot of inspiration!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Why not check out his other work while you are at it. Cutts has been featured on Adult Swim, Channel 4, and his YouTube channel<\/a> is pretty spectacular, with plenty of animated creations to keep you questioning both yourself and today’s society.<\/p>\nCutts is an illustrator and animator from London, and through his artwork, he reveals the frustration he has, and many others have, with modern society.<\/h3>\n
