The Unspoken Side Of Long Term Relationships Revealed In 30 Brutally Honest Illustrations
Love is in the small things. And Los Angeles-based artist Amanda Oleander captures these cute couple moments in her illustrations. Drawing inspiration from her own romantic relationship and collecting memories from people close to her, Amanda perfectly shows in her relationship comics what love looks like when no one's watching.
Amanda is currently dating Joey Rudman. "[He] ends up drawn in most of my adult cartoons," she told Bored Panda. "We have been together for almost three years. He's the sweetest man I've ever met." The artist describes the bond between them as pure magic. "Before I met Joey if anyone told me their love and relationship was like ours I wouldn't believe it. It's nothing less than amazing. We can't get enough of each other."
"I'm enthralled by the way people behave behind closed doors, intimate moments with their significant others we never get to see. Those are moments that can’t be documented because if they were, it would alter the way the person behaved. So I draw them."
Oleander claims that each of her cute cartoons is inspired by a different concept. "I do wish that viewers take with them a sense of confidence and appreciation for the simple moments in life."

Grooming behaviors, people. Way back when we used to pull lice out of each other's hair. LOL!!
i remember doing this for my mrs, but i got frustrated with the rubbish brush they give ya, so I used one of my artist ones instead, much better job!
The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho is a wonderful read and very short too. One of my favourites.
every dinner the first one to find a hair would shout out, it's okay, I got it.

I'm surprised at a lot of people saying some of this stuff is gross, maybe my husband and I are just super comfortable with each other, these are just things everyone does, I don't see why people try and hide it from one another. Sort of hard when you live with someone!
Some people just always have to be better. They never let their guard down, never let their flaws show, never "come as they are". It must be exhausting.
from experience, it's not always wanting to be better...sometimes it's serious insecurity even with someone you know loves you as much as you love them.
Pulling out a used tampon in front of your spouse will always be disgusting no matter how well you know each other, and anyone claiming otherwise is lying through their teeth.
i'm married and it' called "respect".
Yes but the toenail scratching thing is ughhhhhh!😬
The picture is pretty intense for that one yes haha!
I'm right there with you, totally agree.
This is me and my boyfriend to a T. We have been together for almost 3 years.
Totally honest! 10 years and yeah we all these 😂
Emi Suzuhara love

I love the style its like rugrats and the wild thornberries, i think this artist draws the best hugs i have ever seen.
The art style makes the majority of these situations so gross, when they really aren't.
I agree :x
