Tender, a little tangled, and full of feeling—I LOVE YOU is one of Piper’s earliest and most honest illustrations of connection. Two birds in a kiss, captured in her unmistakable looping pen strokes, radiate that raw, unfiltered kind of love. There’s a quiet Tracey Emin energy here—unapologetically emotional, beautifully imperfect.
Like much of Piper’s work, this piece is inspired by moments that moved her in movies, music, and TV—the ones that hit her right in the chest. Then she does what only she can do: flips them, filters them through her world of imaginary boyfriends, beloved family, and a heart that feels everything a little more deeply.
Piper draws what she can’t always say out loud—because of her autism, her deafness, or just the drama of being a teenager. And that’s what makes this card magic: it says “I love you” in a way words sometimes just can’t.
