Sad Truth About Today's World Illustrated By Steve Cutts

Sad Truth About Today's World Illustrated By Steve Cutts | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Art isn’t all fairytale photoshoots and landscape shots – it can also 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 then?


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. He worked at Glueisobar as the main storyboard concept artist before making the leap to freelance work. Cutts makes videos and images that criticize modern life – he states that insanity of humanity is an endless pool of inspiration....

Marlboro Boy And Fat Ronald: The Brand-Jamming Art Of Ron English

Marlboro Boy And Fat Ronald: The Brand-Jamming Art Of Ron English | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Portland artist Ron English has spent his career lampooning some of America's top brands, and he's got the cease-and-desist letters to prove it. Undeterred, English and Last Gasp Publishing have compiled his greatest hits in Status Factory. The picture book includes photorealistic oil paintings that mock such marketing icons as Marlboro Man (as a cigarette-puffing 10-year old), Mickey Mouse (in a gas mask) and Ronald McDonald (50 pounds overweight).

To elaborate on the thinking behind the candy-colored satires showcased in the gallery above, English talks to Co.Create about "reverse shoplifting," the perverse magic of saucer-eyed hucksters, truth in advertising, and how he uses diorama to make art from a kid's point of view....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Now that's a national lampoon! Props to artist Ron English
