the 5th Annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar: Wrapping Paper Edition

If you’re new to the Land of Le Beef, every year I post a series of Christmas themed illustrations everyday from December 1 - 25, known famously as the Annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar. 2017 was another exciting year for the calendar, with a wrapping paper theme. Sure, there were a few duds, but they can’t all be awesome. If you want to get in on the calendar action this year, follow the Land of Le Beef on Facebook or Instagram.

Bees!

Whenever my daughter and I sit down to draw together, she always wants me to draw a bee. I don't know why, but I'm sure she has her reasons. Anyway, every year for her birthday I like to make something special for her, so this year I decided to satisfy her desire for bees. 

Eastside Flea (my first market experience)

This last weekend I had a table at a local Vancouver market, the Eastside Flea, where I sold some of my classic beloved items such as Beef Buddy cards, prints, and some exclusive copies of TomatoPotato (all of which are available online in my Etsy shop). I would like to say thank you to everyone who came by, told me how cool my stuff was, and supported the Land of Le Beef. 

the 4th Annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar

If you follow the Land of Le Beef on Facebook or Instagram, then you are well aware of the annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar (you can check out previous years' calendars here and here). This year's theme was 'Things I Want for Christmas (but probably won't get)', and once again it was a nonstop thrill ride. I hope to see you all again next year.

Maddy's Favourite Toys

Every year I like to draw something special for my daughter's birthday (you might remember last year's illustration featuring Maddy soaring on the back of her Alphapup over a city of blocks). This year I thought it would be fun to create a yearbook page featuring her toys. Just like classmates, some of them will be forgotten immediately, while a select few may be a special part of her life for a long time. I created this print so that she could look back on her toys later on and say, 'I wonder whatever happened to that guy?'.

If your kid has any favourite toys, send me a photo at the Land of Le Beef Etsy shop, and your child can have their own illustrated version.
