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.

The 2014 Second Annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar: Classic Toys Edition

This year's Second Annual 2014 Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar: Classic Toys Edition has been a magical journey, and I thank everyone for all of their positive feedback. If you didn't get a chance to appreciate hop the calendar this year, you can get in on the festive awesomeness next year by becoming a fan of the Land of Le Beef Facebook Page, or following me on Instagram (or both). Next years advent calendar is going to be even bigger and/or better, so don't miss it.

There are many toys that didn’t make the cut - not because they’re not awesome, just because they didn’t quite fit with the flow of things. Anyway, here are some of the toys that didn’t make it this year:
• Snoopy Snow Cone Machine
• Pogo Stick, Play-Doh
• Hula Hoop
• Nerf Ball
• Stretch Armstrong
• Care Bears 
• My Little Pony
• Beanie Babies
• Troll Dolls
• Hot Wheels
