Mexican illustrator Erika Kuhn has a way with hearts – but not in the romantic manner you might expect for Valentine’s Day. She tells the truth about the heart in love, and exquisitely conveys the problems that afflict it. The theme is constant in her beautifully executed Moleskines.
The Moleskines are from the large number of sketchbook pages Kuhn has posted on her blog, here and on her Flickr site, here.

Powerful images! I sort of really like the one dangling over the little colorful pile of “trash” … very moving and emotional.

I especially agree with the heart-breaking observation, given that there has to have been great passion in the making of these.

Nice, i like the second one, with the girl carrying her heart and all her emotions on her back. Like a burden that doesn’t seem that heavy.

True. And interesting. You’re right, she isn’t bent over with a burden, which in fact looks kind of light. Thanks, always enjoy these observations.
