These thought-provoking illustrations that cover issues like addiction, environmental pollution were created by\u00a0Steve Cutts<\/a>, a London-based freelance illustrator and animator. Cutts spent years working with advertising agency as\u00a0an illustrator; an opportunity which perhaps has exposed him to the deterioration that permeates our today’s world.<\/p>\n

Check out some of his artwork below.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are things that affect us all on a fundamental level so naturally they are a main focus for a lot of my work. Humanity has the power to be great in so many ways and yet at the same time we are fundamentally flawed. I think it’s the conflict between these two that fascinates me the most,\u201d says\u00a0Mr. Cutts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAs a race of beings we’ve made incredible achievements in such a short space, but at the same time we seem so overwhelmingly intent on destroying ourselves and everything around us, adds Mr. Cutts. It would be very interesting to see where we’ll be in a hundred years. The term insanity is intriguing \u2013 it\u2019s almost like we’re encouraged to act in a way that seems genuinely insane when you look at it objectively, but it’s often accepted as normal right now. I think we will have to evolve beyond our current thinking and way of doing things if we want to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
