zukzuk illustration

I have loved this zukzuk print for a year or two now. A Toronto based artist who makes work that feels at once nostalgic and joyfully celebratory. Check out her Etsy shop or her lovely blog.

And I think in the midst of a cold snowy winter, I am also missing my extended Ohio family. I have a new niece now and I'm very tender hearted towards her. I feel extraordinarily like an aunt and I wasn't expecting this--the love, I think I expected, but the feelings of responsibility towards her are a real surprise. And so being far away from her, makes me feel like a slacker. . .

This print reminds me of my brother, sis-in-law and wee Morgan. And it breaks my heart a little.

But here's another zukzuk illustration for good measure:
