Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that really let us know what other people think about us. That is true of our friends, as well as our family and when it comes to love between a husband and wife, there are times when no words are truly needed.
Illustrator Andrew Hou was born in Canada, but he is Chinese and he was married to his Korean wife for five years, living together in Seoul, South Korea. Korean was not his native language so he was able to communicate effectively by doodling.
He started the series in 2010 known as the HJ-Story. At first, it was a personal blog but it began gaining some fans along the way. They had used illustrations as a way to maintain the relationship.
“[Kate] was busy with school and I was busy with work, so we didn’t have a lot of time to meet up or even talk on the phone,” he said. “So during work, I’d pretend to be ‘working’ and create these tiny doodles and send it to her on her cellphone.”
After he had accumulated enough doodles, he started posting them online. He then started posting some of the more polished drawings you see today.
He hopes to give viewers a greater appreciation for the simple things of life through his illustrations. We think he did a great job.
