People tend to think that love can only be shown with grand, extraordinary gestures that the world can see. It’s arguable, though, that ‘true’ love exists in the small and seemingly mundane, yet intimate moments shared between two hearts. Auckland-based, Korean-born artist Lynn Choi is acutely aware of this fact, and has crafted a few illustrations that brilliantly capture those heartwarming ‘everyday’ experiences we all share with the ones we hold dear. Aren’t homemade pancakes on a lazy Sunday morning one hundred times better than a fancy dinner out, anyway?
Scroll down to see them all, and enjoy more of Choi’s work on her Instagram.

I love this! It is so amazing and her illustrations have so much detail and it has this cozy mood. You can really see the content and happiness in it.

Kent, if you’re trying to mock those posts, don’t. It’s not funny, just annoying.

Being single is temporary. When you find the right person it will make all of it so much sweeter.

OMG the style, the feeling, the anatomy, the lighting, the beautiful story behind every picture. Truly beautiful, you could maybe consider making 5 more and turning it into a calendar, I would gladly buy it! Or keep it as it is and sell them individually or as a zine! Or don't, your choice, but I would definitely buy some.

Why are people saying the dude is a weird pedo in a inappropriate relationship? Lots of people are born taller or shorter than the average height. I’m taller than my my mum but the same height as my aunt.

There is shorter, and then there is younger looking...much younger. The first thing I thought when I saw this is that it must be daughter hugging the dad in the kitchen and then mom cuddling the daughter in the bed, until I kept scrolling. I knew these types of comments were coming...because I had one of my own.

Lol- yeah well there's plenty of downers to relationships, too. Don't feel like the lone ranger, we're all alone actually and there's nothing worse than being with someone and still feeling alone!

Wonderful talent but also wonderful messaging. Love IS in the small things.

I think Eddie Vedder said it best when he said (about the Pearl Jam song "Nothingman") "If you love someone and they love you, don't f**k up... 'cause you are left with less than nothing.”. Cherish the little things! I've learned to do that every day after finally walking away from a decade-long abusive relationship and finding my soulmate

Simply beautiful and I can totally relate to her little "somethings". We don't appreciate these small things until they are gone.

Wow, there seems to be an even mix of two reactions: "I love this" or "this makes me feel bad about my own life"... well, I'm in the "I love this" crowd: these are such warm, touching, whimsical illustrations...they remind me about what is great in my own life! Well done!

When there's love then only you will find it in small things. When there's no love you wont find it anything. Sometimes love disappears after sometime. You always have to make effort to keep the love alive in your relationship.If you don't work on your relationship it gradually dies and before you know you and your partner will fall apart, read this https://livingshe.com/best-relationship-advice/ to read the best guide on how to make your relationship healthy and steady. Also there are women who are so smart that they often find themselves lonely, https://livingshe.com/best-relationship-advice/

Not really linking up with the topics but the style of illustration is fantastic. It would make an insanely awesome animation. Her color choices are awesome. Good stuff even if I don’t connect to the topics, that's hard to accomplish.

She looks like a 12 year old little girl not a woman who is at least 18 years old .

Not exactly like my relationship. Add in blowing razz berries (bubbles) into his tummy as he tries to sleep.

...I love how artists make everything surreal. I mean, life is usually about running around and getting a f**k or two in between all the errands. usually perforce becatse you both think the other wants to be f****d while both of you actually just want to sleep... this makes you feel so bad about it actually! XD XD XD

What? Love is just like this. Just not all the time. Good and bad comes in waves. My relationship isn’t perfect but it definitely has moments like this.

Uhmmm..... If the portrayal of the two of them live together alone and not each one with their respective parents doesn't read like an adult couple... They look like they're in their early twenties and they may be university students, to me. She's just shorter than him. I've met tons of short and sweet adult ladies who often get annoyed if they are confused for, or treated like little kids.

Gender roles? You're fricken crazy, that's about the most gender neutral thing ever. You can switch those characters genders and It's The Same Comic. Jeez.
