WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, I HATE IT HERE is a series of posters illustrating a humorous vision of a reality that is unfortunately not so far away. Using a recurring set of characters, design elements, and classic cyberpunk references to create a shared world, each poster laughs through the tears of realizing that you’ve been trapped in a futuristic hellscape.
