The Sad Truth About Today’s World Illustrated By Steve Cutts

ADVERTISEMENT

Art isn’t all fairytale photoshoots and landscape shots – it can also be done in sarcastic, sad drawings and act as catalyst of change. And Steve Cutts thinks that many things in the world should be different. Work shouldn’t be a grinding, soul-crushing rat race for the almighty dollar. Consumerism shouldn’t hold a vice-like grip on our lives. And social media, well, we need to throw off the shackles we so eagerly put on ourselves. Wouldn’t life be better with these social issues solved?

Steve Cutts is an illustrator and animator from London. Faced with the choice of working at McDonald’s or studying Fine Arts, he chose the latter. He worked at Glueisobar as the main storyboard concept artist before leaping to freelance work. Cutts makes videos and images that caricatures modern life and its ironic situations – he states that the insanity of humanity and global issues are an endless pool of inspiration for sarcasm and drawings.

    What's more shocking is that people are shocked about it, while supporting political, social and economic vectors that lead to this reality. (capitalism, individualism, atheism)

    Oh, come on, people. Yes, these are classic topics, yes these are thoughts and images we've all got in our heads everyday, but to bring those thoughts into life is the action, if they stay just in our heads, that's passive. No, these images aren't shocking or new, but they're pretty well made illustrations of problems we still ARE facing today and we will as long as we keep on unimpressingly disrespect the artists who at least are trying. As long as we have to face these problems, the fight is still not over. Keep up the good job. Stay creative. And keep in mind the meaning of "creative" relates to "creation", so the idea itself is not enough unless it's brought out into something concrete.

    Yes! Couldn't agree more. Just saying "We're aware of these issues" doesn't mean that this artist shouldn't give his take on them! He's expressing his point of view on these topics.

    The sad truth is actually that we believe things are like that. Those pictures depict just the perspective of the average joe and there is much more in the world than that. I find art like this to be just a form of exposing excuses that we use to feel good about ourselves because we don't take the time to think and build our lives properly.

    None of this is original or thought provoking. Television is 'b******t'... People getting on tubes are in a 'rat race'.. People walking around staring at their phones are 'zombies'.. Seriously!? You've just drawn common turns of phrase that you can see/hear everywhere. I get the same images in my head at 7 in the morning when I'm hungover on my way to the work- you know, the creative peak for a non-artist like me who pretty much has zero creative ability. Worst of all, these drawings come across as snide. His bio reads 'I could've got a s****y job just like the rest of you, but instead I did Media Studies at college and went on to become a super cool freelance artist, now here's some pictures of the fat brainless slobs you all are, hohoho' Cool, dude. I can't wait for the day McDonald's offer you a big contract to illustrate and you cave in (but draw it 'ironically')

    Who said it had to be original? Someone gotta illustrate what we all think. And it's good to see how some have better ability than others to create. Maybe you should stop being hangover with you thought images and spread some inspiration rather then written junk ;)

    Golly, another artist schooled in the school of shock value. Totally not counterproductive. I get it bruh, you're turning the mirror on society. Also, pointing out issues that have been around as roughly as long as sentience doesn't make you make you come across as some dipstick hipster with nothing else to provide but criticism. As we all know every problem ever has been solved by just complaining about it .

    The art itself is tremendous, but honestly, the messages feel pretty thin/clichรฉ. The visual puns ("rat race", "bull s**t") just feel kind of tired. If art like this is going to hit hard, it's got to be as politically imaginative as it is artistically.

    Unoriginal, although I quite liked the b******t one. For art like this to be effective it needs a sense of humour. For actual change to be made it takes seriousness. Stuff like this annoys me because some adolescents will see it and think they understand all there is to the Capitalist machine and that they're edgy and arty or some s**t, I don't know ahah.

    How wonderfully trite. First of all, don't be a sucker. This does not spread awareness beyond marketing the artist for profit. This is not activism - This will not change the world. It will stop no wrongs and create very few rights. I can see many of you are young -- Have you not figured out how the vast majority of people think yet? You all look at this and see it as how *everyone else* is the problem. Not you, no. Never you. It's everyone else that's trapped in the rat race for consumerism, living on their cell phones, eating junk food and swallowing pills, while enriching those corporations removing vital environments and taking the planet away from us. Some of you may be on trust funds. Where do you think that money comes from? One problem with people is that they confuse sameness as individuality and true individuality as unimportant. Part of the social engineering most of you/us have been born into. Want freedom: Walk away. Just go. Let the fools be fools and go be briliant

    Very well drawn and some even funny, but not very original in my opinion. And in that sense not very shocking either. I may be visually spoiled, but the symbolism used in these illustrations is a bit flat and worn out. Things like: putting the earth in a shredder, money comes out. Consuming products form large cooperations which come from a guys a*s and at the same time pooping out money. A fat rich dude with a car full of money carried by skinny slobs,.. I like the zombies and the mice in the subway though ;).

Absolutely prefect, but these people do not see this I do every day and we will end up like these futuristic films they keep showing by people who can see like me the future of our world, pure greed is killing our world off.

    On the fourth, the money eating one is getting richer and powerful the s**t products eating one is getting sicker and poorer. So the products also get shitter because the consumer has less power to defend his own rights.

    I just don't agree with ones about phones. People act like were so attached to our phones that we forget about real life and stuff, no! When we use social media, what are we doing? WE ARE POSTING THINGS ABOUT OUR REAL LIVES. WE ARE SEEING THINGS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S REAL LIFE.When we do other stuff, most of the time it has to do with comedy. And comedy makes you laugh! And laughing makes us feel good. (most of the time)And if we feel good without hurting other people, why should it matter? Oh, and now your probably thinking "people use social media to put down others" Yeah, they do. And they would still be doing that in real life. It may be an easier way, but there's always a downside to something. It's not like that's the reason it was made.Oh, and then there are pointless games. If someone wants to play pointless games, let them play pointless games! Sometimes games are played to pass time, and sometimes people play games when the should be payig attention. But blame the player, not

    One might of course interpret these pictures as him saying the devices them selves have a bad affect on people, but what I think he's trying to say is that it doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't mean that we can't or shouldn't use smartphones and internet. It's not ironic that he uses the internet to make his art available to others. He is trying to tell us that we have a lack of moderation. He might have a lack of moderation himself. Doesn't make his attempt to point it out less valid. You can shout the messenger, but the message remains the same.

    I think what these artist have inadvertently done is outline not the sad truth about the world today but human society and it's developments shortly after moving from a paleolithic to a neolithic way of life. Some tme after the first human settlements we lost many of our egalitarian roots. As civilations formed the world became a much larger place which needed to be managed by a vast network of social control systems which although have evolved over time are still built on the same floored system better suited for a large disconnected world. But the world is not large and disconnected anymore. Yes the environments we live in are vast and varied but we are by in large interconnected in ways we have never been before. In know it seems like we live in a world geared against us, but the problems dipicted here have existed in some shape or form for thousands of years. Difference is now people are smart enough to notice and real change is happening on a scale it never has before.

    Meh. People act like it's difficult to criticize and see ugliness in the world, but I really don't think it is. It's exponentially easier than finding hope, beauty, and potential. Some of these are clever analogies, but as a whole they're underwhelming. This is just a guy whining about issues that most people are completely aware of... And I think it's an immature point of view to completely ignore the other side of incredibly complex systems like commerce, economy, or technology. The world is not divided into "good" and "bad". The same technology that enslaves some people saves other people's lives. This guy draws business as if everyone in the world is actually an artist who gave up. Some people prefer numbers and structure, that is a passion to some as much as art or music is to others. I mean, I'm just saying - What a bummer this dude must be to hang out with.

    Maxwell is right, the majority of us will admit its true. But how many of us will actual try to change ourselves, never mind the whole of society. And the bigger question. "OK Steve, you've illustrated the problem, but what is the practical solution? An Apocalypse? We are flawed. However, we live in a better connected, more socially conscious, open for the most part societies where we live longer, work less, play more and help others more than at any time in the recorded history of man. We know communism doesn't work, that social experiment failed. Neither does pure capitalism or the rule of law without compassion and regulation over the law makers. Yup, everything in your drawings are true. But they are of no value because they don't solve anything. We are all different when we are born - we are born EQUAL under the law but no one person is exactly the same as the other. We have weakness and strengths. I pray each day someone can draw the solution. Love God, love each other.

    Good interpretations. Nothing wrong with doing clichรฉ phrases, IMHO. Is no different than 100 people drawing roses...they will all still have unique styles. They're beautifully drawn and sadly true. My favorite is the one with the guy who's become his couch.

    I understand this. But let's give credit to where (and who) it's due. Millennials; We don't eat fast food and we want to be informed on where our food comes from. Also, a lot of us are working in industries we actually want to be in; the outstanding amount of student loan debt should be a nod to that.

    Oh, come on, people. Yes, these are classic topics, yes these are thoughts and images we've all got in our heads everyday, but to bring those thoughts into life is the action, if they stay just in our heads, that's passive. No, these images aren't shocking or new, but they're pretty well made illustrations of problems we still ARE facing today and we will as long as we keep on unimpressingly disrespect the artists who at least are trying. As long as we have to face these problems, the fight is still not over. Keep up the good job. Stay creative. And keep in mind the meaning of "creative" relates to "creation", so the idea itself is not enough unless it's brought out into something concrete.

    The sad truth is actually that we believe things are like that. Those pictures depict just the perspective of the average joe and there is much more in the world than that. I find art like this to be just a form of exposing excuses that we use to feel good about ourselves because we don't take the time to think and build our lives properly.

    None of this is original or thought provoking. Television is 'b******t'... People getting on tubes are in a 'rat race'.. People walking around staring at their phones are 'zombies'.. Seriously!? You've just drawn common turns of phrase that you can see/hear everywhere. I get the same images in my head at 7 in the morning when I'm hungover on my way to the work- you know, the creative peak for a non-artist like me who pretty much has zero creative ability. Worst of all, these drawings come across as snide. His bio reads 'I could've got a s****y job just like the rest of you, but instead I did Media Studies at college and went on to become a super cool freelance artist, now here's some pictures of the fat brainless slobs you all are, hohoho' Cool, dude.

Also, pointing out issues that have been around as roughly as long as sentience doesn't make you make you come across as some dipstick hipster with nothing else to provide but criticism.

    The art itself is tremendous, but honestly, the messages feel pretty thin/clichรฉ. The visual puns ("rat race", "bull s**t") just feel kind of tired. If art like this is going to hit hard, it's got to be as politically imaginative as it is artistically.

    How wonderfully trite. First of all, don't be a sucker. This does not spread awareness beyond marketing the artist for profit. This is not activism - This will not change the world. It will stop no wrongs and create very few rights. I can see many of you are young -- Have you not figured out how the vast majority of people think yet? You all look at this and see it as how *everyone else* is the problem. Not you, no. Never you. It's everyone else that's trapped in the rat race for consumerism, living on their cell phones, eating junk food and swallowing pills, while enriching those corporations removing vital environments and taking the planet away from us. Some of you may be on trust funds. Where do you think that money comes from? One problem with people is that they confuse sameness as individuality and true individuality as unimportant. Part of the social engineering most of you/us have been born into. Want freedom: Walk away. Just go. Let the fools be fools and go be briliant

    Very well drawn and some even funny, but not very original in my opinion. And in that sense not very shocking either. I may be visually spoiled, but the symbolism used in these illustrations is a bit flat and worn out. Things like: putting the earth in a shredder, money comes out. Consuming products form large cooperations which come from a guys a*s and at the same time pooping out money. A fat rich dude with a car full of money carried by skinny slobs,.. I like the zombies and the mice in the subway though ;).

    I just don't agree with ones about phones. People act like were so attached to our phones that we forget about real life and stuff, no! When we use social media, what are we doing? WE ARE POSTING THINGS ABOUT OUR REAL LIVES. WE ARE SEEING THINGS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S REAL LIFE.When we do other stuff, most of the time it has to do with comedy. And comedy makes you laugh! And laughing makes us feel good. (most of the time)And if we feel good without hurting other people, why should it matter? Oh, and now your probably thinking "people use social media to put down others" Yeah, they do. And they would still be doing that in real life. It may be an easier way, but there's always a downside to something. It's not like that's the reason it was made.Oh, and then there are pointless games. If someone wants to play pointless games, let them play pointless games! Sometimes games are played to pass time, and sometimes people play games when the should be payig attention.

    One might of course interpret these pictures as him saying the devices them selves have a bad affect on people, but what I think he's trying to say is that it doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't mean that we can't or shouldn't use smartphones and internet. It's not ironic that he uses the internet to make his art available to others. He is trying to tell us that we have a lack of moderation. He might have a lack of moderation himself. Doesn't make his attempt to point it out less valid. You can shout the messenger, but the message remains the same.

    I think what these artist have inadvertently done is outline not the sad truth about the world today but human society and it's developments shortly after moving from a paleolithic to a neolithic way of life. Some tme after the first human settlements we lost many of our egalitarian roots. As civilations formed the world became a much larger place which needed to be managed by a vast network of social control systems which although have evolved over time are still built on the same floored system better suited for a large disconnected world. But the world is not large and disconnected anymore. Yes the environments we live in are vast and varied but we are by in large interconnected in ways we have never been before. In know it seems like we live in a world geared against us, but the problems dipicted here have existed in some shape or form for thousands of years. Difference is now people are smart enough to notice and real change is happening on a scale it never has before.

    Meh. People act like it's difficult to criticize and see ugliness in the world, but I really don't think it is. It's exponentially easier than finding hope, beauty, and potential. Some of these are clever analogies, but as a whole they're underwhelming. This is just a guy whining about issues that most people are completely aware of... And I think it's an immature point of view to completely ignore the other side of incredibly complex systems like commerce, economy, or technology. The world is not divided into "good" and "bad". The same technology that enslaves some people saves other people's lives. This guy draws business as if everyone in the world is actually an artist who gave up. Some people prefer numbers and structure, that is a passion to some as much as art or music is to others. I mean, I'm just saying - What a bummer this dude must be to hang out with.

    Maxwell is right, the majority of us will admit its true. But how many of us will actual try to change ourselves, never mind the whole of society. And the bigger question. "OK Steve, you've illustrated the problem, but what is the practical solution? An Apocalypse? We are flawed. However, we live in a better connected, more socially conscious, open for the most part societies where we live longer, work less, play more and help others more than at any time in the recorded history of man. We know communism doesn't work, that social experiment failed. Neither does pure capitalism or the rule of law without compassion and regulation over the law makers. Yup, everything in your drawings are true. But they are of no value because they don't solve anything. We are all different when we are born - we are born EQUAL under the law but no one person is exactly the same as the other. We have weakness and strengths. I pray each day someone can draw the solution. Love God, love each other.

    Aww, the rat caught in the trap still has a piece of uneaten cheese that he brought to work in his briefcase.

    Beautiful illustrations of the reality of today's lifestyle. We need more creative reminders like Scotts!

    Coming from a comment that has been literally made half a dozen times here, that's hilarious! I supposed we should give up on illustrating anything that's been painted before ? Man, some people love to b***h.

    Good interpretations. Nothing wrong with doing clichรฉ phrases, IMHO. Is no different than 100 people drawing roses...they will all still have unique styles. They're beautifully drawn and sadly true. My favorite is the one with the guy who's become his couch.

    I understand this. But let's give credit to where (and who) it's due. Millennials; We don't eat fast food and we want to be informed on where our food comes from. Also, a lot of us are working in industries we actually want to be in; the outstanding amount of student loan debt should be a nod to that.

    Pure and utter bollocks! if you think this is what life is about you need to end it all now and save the rest of us from your whining and moaning. This bit is taken from above, "Steve Cutts is an illustrator and animator from London. Faced with the choice of working at McDonalds or studying Fine Arts, he chose the latter. " pure c**p, the bloke would be some sort of moron to pick McD over fine art and there he is telling us what a shite world we live in. I wonder though, who paid for his fine art studies? mummy and daddy i'd say,

    nice artwork, but tons and tons of shallow, overused clichรฉs.. this is the world as seen by a 14 year old depressive child

    How pitiful and sad this artist's life must be if he looks around this amazing planet at amazing people and amazing things, and this is what he sees.
