I’m a professional illustrator with a strong fondness for political, social and human issues, with more than 10 years experience collaborating with several publications and companies across four continents. For a long time, I wanted to do a selection of my best works to show some of the problems afflicting the world nowadays.

I use a mixed media, that is, I draw and ink the drawings by hand and then color it using a tablet, takes me around 1 to 3 days to each one, depending on how complex. “How are our relationships changing because of technology?”, “We want to save the world, but how dependent are we on other people's slave work?", "What are the ideas that free and restrain us?", are just some of the important issues I want to address.

So what about you? What are your questions? I mean, the really important ones. Please let me know!

Exactly, Pro-lifers ignore the kids living in foster care, and the ones locked up in cages. If they were really concerned about the welfare of children because of what it says in the bible, they would actually be opposed to the imprisonment of child.

Anyone who is successful is standing on the shoulders of others. The question is whether they willingly helped and/or were adequately compensated.

Everything you post online is going to be seen by potential employers, bankers, credit card companies, your doctor, your co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, anyone you want to date, car dealers, insurance agents, rental agents, airlines, hospitals, churches, cable companies, you-name-it they know it, any of your business you put online, and if you "share" enough info, they will be able to guess at even the stuff you don't "share". Have a nice day

Not always true. When my parents split, my dad wanted nothing to do with me. He moved to the other end of the country, started another family (his third), then went to prison for 5 years for beating his wife. He tried to contact me when he got out, but since he didn't bother for the 20 years he was gone before that, I sent him a message by proxy that he'd had his chances, and never took them, so I wanted nothing to do with him. He's dead now, and that's good, because as far as I know, he assaulted every woman he was ever with.

Disagree. If the divorce is that bad, do you really think they'd get along smoothly if they were still married? There might be more fake smiles, but children would still notice something was wrong. And think that a model relationship is resentful cohabitation.

Yes that was totally how me and my sister felt when my parents split, but I think what the artist is trying to say is that it is very hard to choose between your parents in that kind of situation. I was lucky because my dad bought a house in the same small town that my mum lives in, so we swap houses once a week, but we are still constantly being put in this situation, if extremely downscaled, where we are forced to choose a side,or a parent, or a house.

Not always true. Can't pretend a marriage in order to not hurt their children. Sometimes that big lie is more hurtful than divorce. Yes, there are some parents that de-attach from their kids as well as from their spouse, but it isn't a rule. This just can not be generalized.

My daughter was so thankful we got divorced, now she doesn't have to see her parents fighting any more. Now my children can see healthy, instead of toxic, adult relationships, and know they have two parents who love them regardless of who lives in what house.

I think this is more about how divorce is handled than divorce itself. One of my best friends got divorced because his wife was abusive. They were creating a horrible place for all three of them (they have a little girl). Now he's a wonderful dad, but his ex uses the girl against him. She doesn't give a s**t about the kid other than how she can use her to hurt him. Every situation is different, but people could be better and care about the kid instead of their petty fights.

I know a divorce lawyer - that is sadly a very common state of affairs. One mother has so brainwashed their child that they refuse to see their father at all and yet there doesn't seem to be any truth in what the mother has said. The judge is furious and quite rightly trying to adjust the balance.

Marriage is based on list and ownership, children are brought into many marriages for the wrong reasons. Children are a life long commitment to nurture into good honest adults. Children often become pawns, and the real victims of broken marriages

Thoughts on his thoughts: Type 1: “It’s not a prison! It’s a protective enclosure! I’m the good guy here! Your attitude is exactly why I get distant....” Type 2: “I’m not being judgemental or sexist against women! I’m standing up for women! I’m not like those bad men who take advantage of women, pulling the wool over their eyes.. I’m saying it like it is. They should be more grateful for men like me, upholding real values that benefit women.” Type 3: I love women! They’re the best! Let me speak for them; I know the best way to explain.”

It would be AWESOME if we had stricter laws about what gets labeled as news. Commentary =/= news. Inflammatory or beside-the-point statements =/= news. Making statements intended to imply so not actually lies =/= news. None of those things are news. It should all be required to be labeled in a visible box on the side of the screen “legally, this show does not meet the required standard to call itself news”

I'm still really confused about what the wage gap is meant to be. No one can seem to agree on anything whether it's women in general being paid less or women who have very similar jobs and their male counterparts being paid more or the many factors that are involved in why people do tend to do certain jobs (Or in some places simply banned from them.)
