How The Poignant Illustrations Show Life the Way It Is That Can Make Your Soul Cry

The artist Stephan Schmitz lives in Switzerland and creates illustrations for the most renowned magazines in the world. His works describe the different areas of life for a modern person, from family relationships to technology.

Rick, The Hedgehog. A Serious Cuteness Overload!

Meet Rick, the hedgehog who is always smiling. When we picked up this shy African Pygmy hedgehog from the breeder, he didn’t show us much joy. We used to think, “This hog hates us”... But then, slowly he opened up and became the most cheerful little fellow who makes me smile even on the worst days. I started taking photos of him because I think he is the cutest thing on earth.
