Illustrator Alex Noriega decided to express his emotions through a series of comforting and inspirational drawings. When he was feeling low, he sought refuge in art. Out of his struggles was conceived his beautiful blog called Stuff No One Told Me (SNOTM for short).

The blog features a collection of illustrations which resonate and puncture through our soul. Noriega reminds us about the bittersweet truths of life. His tender words remind us “that people who try to look tough harder, usually are the ones that need affection. As well as the other motivating facts about life and growing up. “No one’s really keeping track of how many times you screw up…so chill out.”

Harry Potter also taught an entire generation of kids that the news media can’t always be trusted to tell the truth, that the government can often be corrupt or incompetent, that the legal system isn’t always right, that the people in power don’t always have your best interests at heart. That bad things sometimes happen to good people, that your heroes aren’t always as perfect as you think they are, that even those with the best intentions can be wrong, that everyone can make mistakes and that often in order to make things right it takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice.
