Pascal Campion is a French-American artist based in Burbank, California who creates heartwarming and soulful illustrations about every day life.
Inspired by Katrina, his wife of 10 years, his 9-year-old daughter, and his 6-year-old twin boys, Campion's work brilliantly captures the importance of the small things. From watching the autumn leaves fall, pausing to catch a ray of sunshine, holding hands in a crowded room or simply reading a book on a rainy night with a warm cup of coffee, his illustrations not only look beautiful; they also encourage us to stop, look around us, and think about what really matters the most. “The little moments are just as important as the big ones,” says Campion, who describes his style as “spontaneous and messy in execution but clear in communication.” Scroll down to see for yourself.
Being comforted after a long day
Waking up next to him
Giving her a kiss when she's so perfectly relaxed
Having an impromptu pillow fight
Going on a hike with a picnic
Keeping each other dry
Whisking her off her feet
Waiting for him to come home
Having fun even when doing the most boring chores
Spending a perfect day doing nothing together
Showing each other spontaneous affection
Watching the world from above
Marveling at miracles you created together
Worrying when she's not answering her phone
Watching the autumn leaves falling as you grow older together
Peeping through the door to see the most precious moments
Being there when he needs you
Getting unexpected hugs
Sharing random intimate moments together
Not letting the rain ruin your day
Seeing the silver lining in any situation
Being proud of those little everyday accomplishments
And goofing around with the family
Here's the illustrator Pascal Campion with his children
