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.

IB Learner Profile Posters

If you're an IB teacher, then these IB learner profile posters will be right up your alley. I made these for my wife's classroom because wanted a fun way to remind her students of these qualities, and because I like drawing animals. 

Can I buy these in your Etsy Shop? Sure, if you want. They are available in two sizes as physical prints, or as digital downloads so that you can print them yourself. 

Hey Diddle Diddle

My daughter's favourite book right now is Hickory Dickory Dock (she's 5 months old; she mostly just likes to chew on it). Anyway, I've have nursery rhymes on my mind a lot lately, and I had an idea of drawing a few of them with surprise endings, starting with one of the most non-sensical of them all - Hey Diddle Diddle.

When you break it down, this nursery rhyme has it all - cats playing music, kitchenware frolicking through open fields, cows performing fairly spectacular feats, dogs laughing - and this is just what is being mentioned, who knows what else is happening outside of the scene.

Coming soon (maybe) - Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, and Yankee Doodle

Every dog has its day

I was thinking of submitting this cartoon to the International Chilidog Association, but unfortunately it doesn't exist :(

dog gone it
