Before the pandemic started and bad news took over the headlines, I started an experiment. I wanted to draw the news. Mainly because I like to draw in multiple styles - and news are always different - but also out of passion for editorial illustration. So I created an Instagram page where I illustrate stories that, for some reason, cannot be photographed. Science findings, landmark events or weird news that could easily get lost in our feed without some compelling image below their headlines.

When Covid came knocking, I focused on positive pieces. I illustrated good news on a weekly basis, covering stories from more than 25 countries and 2 planets. A completely unnecessary endeavor, but how does life look with just the necessary?

It's called @unnewscessary - a gallery with 100+ artworks that document what went well in the past 2 years. Scroll below to see 30 of them and follow the project to experience news differently.

YAA_ *tree falls on top of me ASDF movie style*

I started it in October 2019, when no one could've predicted what was about to come. The fact that a pandemic is followed by a war seems absurd to me. I'll definitely illustrate the good news emerging from the conflict, but it's a thin line to walk on. There's a huge amount of fake news and disinformation and what seems like a perfect subject now can be discredited tomorrow. Moreover, stories about people killing people for whatever reason cannot be qualified as good news. There's a tight filter to be applied on.

    If nothing breaking comes out this week, the next post will probably be a science story. Something super-colorful. I'm keeping tabs on the war but people need to see other stuff as well. If the following base grows enough, I want to turn Unnewscessary into a collaborative project. Meaning I will invite illustrators from around the world to draw new artworks. That's one of the reasons I chose to illustrate in multiple styles - so they'd feel free to add their vision.

    My new full time job is four days a week (from 9:00 am-5:30 pm), and I can honestly say that the extra day off is a game changer! The company operates in Ireland, where a 5 day week is still the standard, but my boss actually care about the mental health of his staff and he can see that people are more motivated in the workplace when they can look forward to and extra day off. Plus, the job gets done anyway and with less stress!

    I asked my boss to do this, I work Mon-Fri office hours, but only half days wednesdays and fridays as boss doesn't want to work a full week. I suggested going to 4full days a week and 3 days off. He said no, he'd rather just cut my hours and have me work 3 full days and one half day, on top of no raises in 5yrs and I just found out i'm paid almost half what the other assistant gets in the office even though we do the same job. Anyone else out there need a bomb-ass assistant? I'm desperate to get outta this office.

    I think nowadays I draw more from imagination and the ideation process got a bit faster. I'm also more confident on final artworks and I rarely ask for feedback before posting. I don't know if that's a good thing, though.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The drive to illustrate a worthy story stayed the same. Last year I was thinking of calling it quits after completing 100 artworks because the IG algorithms favor video content, and the page reach plummeted. But the thought that I'd read a good story and I won't be able to turn it into a visual piece was scary. I'm hooked, I guess.

    As for myself, I feel good. I renovated my house and now I hope it won't get nuked. Work is piling up these days so I swing between client projects and Unnewscessary. Hopefully, I won't get bored.

    I have been doing this. I have had phone calls and emails and personal messages from many of the people involved. Last night I got a call from a woman in absolute tears, telling me that my contributions had allowed her to save the lives of 30 people. I was trying to downplay it because I'm just here, safe in my living room, but she was insistent, and then her daughter messaged me and told me the same thing. And they sent me pics and more stories. It has really worked. I have learned so much about the circumstances of refugees and volunteers. It's overwhelming. But it has been worth every penny. (And by the way, my donations were only 3 figures, not a massive, massive amount at all).

    Had Malaria in Malawi twenty something years ago. In hospital for 4 days. Told me I almost died. Found out last year that I actually had a small stroke from the high fever. It was not diagnosed at the time. In hindsight, something that I thought was over in a few weeks caused lifelong issues that I blamed on other things. I was so lucky to walk out of the hospital with my life. I understand 100%, that it was because I was a tourist. So many are not so lucky. I am so happy to hear of a vaccine. Should have happened so many decades before now.

    In 2021 a large cargo ship (the Ever Given) got stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking one of the world's busiest shipping routes. One of the ways they tried to get it out was by using a tiny little excavator to dig around the ship so that it could get a little clearance to move, and there were a lot of jokes on the internet about such a tiny solution to such a large problem.

    One of the walls in recycling is the stabilizers used in different plastics, it’s been a huge issue. Take a water bottle for instance, the cap is a totally different plastic than the bottle. At one point recyclers asked miners to help sort out the issues, since mining involves tons of overburden, making this is a great development

    There is way too much Styrofoam in the world. I take a folded up piece of foil with me when I know I am going to a restaurant that serves huge portions. I used to just ask them to wrap half in foil in the kitchen, but they usually brought it in a Styrofoam box. I think it is possible that they can press this into bricks too, but I'm not sure.

    I know they have found some kind of algae that can digest plastic completely and what is left over can be recycled or will actually decompose naturally. I feel like that should be a priority.

    Decomposing it should be a priority over a 100% recycling rate? The latter is much more preferable.

    Steam Cracking, it was first announced back in 2019 as an effetive method for recycling plastic. I assume that this is with the building of new commercial facilities to do it on a larger scale last year. It good stuff :)

    But is the process eco-friendly to actually do it? I mean, I don't know but are toxins released, more fossil fuels burns to generate the steam.. and is it cost effective?

    Yes, at least what I've read says it's carbon neutral in the places I've read about. Many small businesses around the world have started making plastic bricks, the material is 100% recycled, the process is clean and relatively simple (I think you can find DIYs on the internet) and in places where plastic litter is everywhere, it could make a huge difference in peoples (and animals) lives.

    Meanwhile there's a huge backlash movement in Catholicism to make sure no one like Pope Francis ever becomes Pope again. So look forward to what good things he's tried to do becoming completely fruitless after his death. I'm not saying he's doing enough for the pedo rape and other crimes of the Catholic church, but clearly he at least is trying to act like a Christian a lot of the time, compared to his predecessors who seemed to act more like Mafia dons.

    Yeah unfortunately the majority of people where I live don't wear masks anymore but really did go on and on and on in an over the top way for months about vaccinations. Which is fine. But I do not understand their cavalier attitudes and lack of concern now regarding wearing masks. Especially as the efficacy of vaccinations is declining and we are approaching winter. The numbers in my area are a thousand a day at the moment. And that is from those that report because thats not a requirement either. Prior to this our numbers were extremely low. Like 10 to 30 a day in the worst periods. A suburb in Australia and not that far from Sydney.

    So many followed their Dear Leader's call to rise up and destroy the American government, and were utterly betrayed by their Orange-skinned God and his party. I'm sure being called 'evil liberals conducting a false flag operation' by these cynical shitbags was a real eye-opener for a few of them. And others may have raised eyebrows at his gleefulness at the potential murder of his Evangelical Christian right-hand man, Mike Pence, during the Capital invasion. I also suspect a lot of key QAnon people have died from the 'fake' COVID19 virus. Maybe drank bleach and who knows what else at the behest of their corrupt and selfish narcissist king.

    I wonder if they mean taking naps no more than 20 minutes long? That has been known to boost performance. But once you pass 20 minutes you start going into other parts of the sleep cycle and waking up from that can leave you groggy and you have trouble concentrating. But you should definitely let yourself go through the full 4+-hour sleep cycles at night. Not sleeping enough will make you very sick.

    Read the explanation provided by ABHinc. It's (a) not for america only, believe it or not you are not the entire world (b) it's CO2, not frankenfood. You drink it every day in your coca cola and other sodas including all natural fizzy mineral water. (c) Golden rice GMO saved thousands from starvation in indonesia and other places where there are nutrient deficiencies in soils etc., so stop thinking the entire world agrees with you about your "all natural hand-picked organic" religion. There is zero difference that you can detect and no scientifically-established proof of anything harmful. (d) If you REALLY want to worry about american diet, rally against macdonalds and KFC and burgerking who sell hormone-infused meats grown as mass-exterminated cows grown on levelled amazon forest.

    I agree, but I think the point of this is not to encourage less fresh food, but to make what we are already doing safer and more sustainable. Unfortunately, fresh food is also unavailable to people in certain areas or income brackets so it can still be good

    It's important to remember how much joy we get out of all the different kinds of artists that we don't think about. People who design buildings, who make music, who create paintings and sculptures, who sing, who act, who dance, who design cups, saucers, plates, shoes, clothing... artists are part of every aspect of our daily lives, but we only recognize a very few of them who are launched into the fame stratosphere. But all artists need to be able to make a living wage and be recognized for the work they are doing.

    Soooo agreed! We need to get away from this concept (and education path) where the only good jobs are STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering and Math) are the only good jobs are those. Decades of devaluing the arts is having a negative impact on our society. There’re so many studies connecting the arts and benefits of using borne sides of our brains synergistically. Schools have been increasing STEAM class load and reducing the arts…some schools don’t even require*any* arts electives anymore (be it music, art, theater, etc). Some countries have been resisting this trend more than others, and we should celebrate it. But we as a society need to reinvest and CELEBRATE the value from the arts. As an example, a coworker mentioned recently in a team meeting they brought their spouse to the opera…I was the only one on the call excited for them, everyone else groaned…it’s become a culture problem! I teach music to kids for free as a way of giving back, but I wish it were more embraced by society.
