Little Love Stuff Illustrations

Sometimes, true love doesn’t declare itself in great tests of romance, expensive gifts, and overflowing bouquets of roses. Many times, the simple fact of being together is enough to make your partner happy.

These small details inspired artist Philippa Rice to create a series of illustrations about the simple and beautiful things in everyday life. The book where she compiles these illustrations is entitled Sooppy: A Love Story, and it is between these pages that she shares a little of the story with her boyfriend (yes, from real life), showing the couple’s routine.

From supermarket shopping to silly arguments, or even watching TV without the slightest worn, the book captures the experience of sharing a life together and celebrates the beauty of respect between couples.

By appreciating the images below, you will realize that what really sustains a relationship are these everyday actions that make all the difference, turning out to be much more important than those grand gestures or any crazy love.
