15 illustrations depicting the imperfect side of modern life

Successful ad agency passes have caused cartoonist Gerhard Haderer to develop a trademark style; but it was the boldness of his creations - always with political and social overtones - that made him one of the most respected illustration and graphic design professionals today.

Endowed with an acid humor, the 67-year-old Austrian began drawing at a time when there were no smartphones, personal computers or social networks; However, this does not mean that he is oblivious to the changes triggered by the technological revolution of this early century.
