When the news bums you out too many days in a row, it’s time to make art. That’s what Joe Webbart is doing to help make sense of the “craziness of the modern world.”
The artist shared with Bored Panda that he makes collages from newspapers, mixing up one image with another (all which are usually sourced from the same magazine), to examine the contrast which exists on planet Earth.
He says:
“All of my images are hand-made, without the use of computers. I find the images in newspapers, magazines given on trains, buses and bins.
My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images. With these I can reinvent the original scene to communicate a new idea.
I suppose I’ve become fairly anti-technology. Although I now promote my art on websites, own an iPhone and use Facebook. It’s confusing, I wish I had been born 100 years ago.”
Each collage is incredibly thought-provoking, to say the least.

World. Overpopulation is a big concern to governments who feel the need to grow larger to hide fear of losing control.
Take away currency and we end masses of slaughtered animals that mostly never even make it to the consumption stage of their purpose.:::( Anthony De Mello ) :::is a wonderful person to take direction on how our inner programming can be reprogrammed on our own.

I spend time.
I love the art but the final outcome to all of this is already baked into the cake. Everything moves in waves and we are about to crest our population overshoot. The ride down is going to be spectacular.
