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.
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.
Year of the Monkey
During the 6 years that I lived in Hong Kong, I had the chance to witness a lot of Chinese New Years celebrations (about 6 of them). Anyway, here's my tribute to this year's animal in the Chinese zodiac - the monkey.
I hope you enjoyed these little stories. If you like the Land of Le Beef Blog, you'll love the Land of Le Beef Facebook Page.
chinese new year
I'd like to wish all the people out there a very happy 'year of the snake'. I can't say that snakes are my favourite animals, but as far as the chinese zodiac goes, they're definitely in my top twelve.
anyhoo,
Chuk nam sang wei.
