Merry Christmas

Well, we've had a lot of fun this year with the First Annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar. There were elves, reindeer, characters from some of our favorite Christmas stories, and even a special appearance from Mr. and Mrs. Clause. In case you missed it (which you probably did, barely anybody knows that the Land of Le Beed exists), you can checkout the entire set below.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. Look forward to a lot great stuff coming from the Beef in the new year!

the Land of Le Beef First Annual Christmas advent Calendar

Snowmen! Snowmen! Snowmen!

There is a rule of blog posting that says if you can't think of a title for a post, just shout something three times - in this case, Snowmen!

Anyway, this is a very special Beef cartoon, because it has not one, but two different endings. It's sort of like a 'glass half empty, glass half full' situation. Which one do you like more?

woodland murals

if you like beavers and giraffes, and happy smiley vegetables, then this blog post is going to make you happy...

the Land of Le Beef was recently commissioned by Woodland (Hong Kong's top preschool, with 10 great locations throughout the city) to create not one, but two murals at their Waterfall school in Pokfulam.

this of course was a big beefy project (these would be my largest illustrations to date*). i knew that the murals would not only need be super awesome and fun to look at, but also needed to be educational, and inspire the children to do great things with their lives.

i sat down at my desk, pencil in hand, and started drafting what would become the greatest thing since the Sistine Chapel. below are the results.

*shortly after completing these murals, Woodland invited me back to create an even BIGGER mural at their newest, most awesome location on Caine Road. blog post to come soon...........

the 4 food groups

​the four food groups getting jiggy with it - I think I drew this in my early collage years as part of a project.

I found this illustration in a box in my attic. Personally, I think the carrot has the best dance moves. Anyway, please enjoy, and remember to drink lots of milk.
