Life isn’t easy. And it can hit you hard. However, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. You can always find something positive to cheer you up, just like Canadian artist Simon Ip did.

Struggling to stay positive during 2020, the Denmark-based illustrator started a project where he began drawing experiences that cheer him up. He posted his first illustration at the beginning of March.

“There are a lot of drawings of me and my partner traveling between Stockholm, Sweden, where he currently lives, and Copenhagen, Denmark,” Ip shared on Bored Panda. “From cooking together to eating a bowl of ramen and cozying up with a good book, this project helped me to stay grounded and mindful.”

He also explained that this project helped him improve as an illustrator and storyteller. Although he has only 2,000 followers, people’s reactions are unbelievable.

Check out the gallery below if you are interested to see his images. How do you stay sain during these rough times?

With all that negativity going around on social media, we could all use a little positive energy. Stacie Swift’s illustrated quotes and notes might just be that extra something. It’s the Instagram guide we needed but didn’t deserve.

Combining hand-drawn images and type, Swift creates relatable content that packs a punch. It’s little wonder that her Instagram page has amassed well over 200k followers. “I’d like to think that my sentimental nature and sense of humor come across in my work so hopefully they are representative of those elements of my personality,” she told The Smuggler.

“All of my work starts out as a rough idea in a sketchbook or on a loose sheet of paper,” she explained her process. “I’m not one of these people who have beautifully presented sketchbooks! Scribbled roughs are usually followed by some internet research for image references from which I begin to make pencil drawings. When I am happy with those I reproduce a final version of the drawing in black fineliner and scan the images into Photoshop to color, edit and compose my finished artwork.”

Aside from illustration and calligraphy art, she also enjoys content creation and has collaborated with various companies. Her designs vary from social media content to pin badges and playing cards. “When I was very little I wanted to be a hot dog lady,” she admitted. “I hadn’t even considered illustration as an option until I was almost 20 and when I was 23 that I went back to study illustration.”

It’s a good thing she had. Take a look at some of her work in the gallery below:

Emily Coxhead describes herself as a “fluffy-haired, smiley kinda thing but also a designer, illustrator and happy thing maker.” Her work, though varied, carries the same air of positivity, with the goal of making other people happy. A worthy cause, if nothing else.

Her website, The Happy News, launched in 2015, reports on positive changes and truly inspiring people – a cheerful twist on what we know as news. It’s a newspaper that celebrates the good, and God knows we could use a little good.

“The fact that I can do what makes me happy for a living whilst also making others happy surely has to be the best thing ever!” she told Virgin. “I thought if I could make a few people’s worlds a little happier then that’s what I would do until I figured out what I was going to do for a ‘proper’ job,” she recalled. “I set up a Kickstarter to fund the first issue of The Happy Newspaper, a newspaper to celebrate all the good stuff going on in the world.”

She hasn’t looked back since, and with appearances on BBC and HuffPost, amongst others, it’s clear that people are taking notice. Aside from her website, Coxhead released a range of greeting cards and merchandise, published her book Make Someone Happy with Penguin Random House, and continues to sparkle positivity through her Instagram page.

JUST wrapped up Issue 14 of @thehappynewspaper… 😅 After the @bbcnews feature, @nowthisnews, Australian TV and all the other ridiculous/terrifying interviews I did a few weeks ago, we have reached over 10,000 happy news subscribers!! 😱🤯 That's more than double last quarter. I can't even begin to comprehend that amount of people. I never everrr had that expectation in mind when I started this funny little newspaper… Of course (after I decided I was doing more than 1 issue) I hoped it would grow but I never expected it to and I certainly never would've put a number on it because I'd have just been disappointed. Instead… since 2015, every time I got a new subscriber it felt incredible✨ I got a super shit email Sunday morning, one of those that puts into question everything you are and do even though you know it should just be ignored. Ironic as I've spent basically all of my 'bank holiday' weekend finishing the newspaper because that's what you do when you're passionate about something, when you really really care (probably a little too much sometimes). I realise that there's a growing number of people here (as well as subscribers!) and I guess not everyone knows what actually goes into the happy news… The reality is… We're a very small team of real life humans with thoughts, feelings, shit going on etc which includes.. me 💁🏼‍♀️ (creator/designer/illustrator/part editor/part fact checker/full-time promoter/cheerleader… all singing all dancing all living and breathing rarely switch off happy newspaper advocate), my editor and so much more @zabbyallen 🙋🏼‍♀️, assistant and a million other jobs @serenity_va 🦸🏻‍♀️, three writers (Abi, David and Una) and two feature writers @gabrielletreanor and Bex, our new freelance illustrator @rachelsuzanneillustration and gorgeous poem writer and there with a cup of tea when I need her @sophie.powles… That's it! I reckon we‘d class as one of the tiniest newspaper teams to ever exist but it's the most bloody marvellous team I could wish for and I am SO unbelievably grateful for their time and love. Surround yourself with people who feel like sunshine, always 🌞💛
