First out of the gate for this animal series…Sam the Sloth. I can’t look at this painting without wanting to take a nap! 🦥

P.S. If you’d be interested in buying one of the original illustrations (or something custom), let me know!

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!

Here’s the final rabbit illustration I shareable form. 🐰

#兔年 #兔年春聯 #兔年美甲

My Year of the Rabbit illustration is complete! 🐰 This outfit was inspired by the #春聯 (Chinese Lunar New Year Couplet Banners) I received from a temple on my recent trip to Taiwan.

Swipe to see the painting progress! Rabbit name suggestions welcome. Will post final edit and screensaver soon.

Can you believe we’re a week into December already?! The good news is (or should I call this a shameless reminder) that you still have a few days left to pick up some local holiday cards and gifts. The “Doors of Toronto” collection (along with all our other holiday cards!) are available for delivery via regular mail, personalized direct mail, or in-person pickup! DM me if you have any questions.

Pictured in this post: “Distillery District Holiday Door”, “Leslieville Holiday Door” and “Summerhill Holiday Door”.

After hinting at this news for weeks, I can finally announce the collaboration with one of my favourite Toronto bakeries, .ca! It was so much fun to work with my long-time friend Brian Tran (LÀ LÁ’s co-owner and talented graphic designer) together to bring to life three cards that are as much me as they are LÀ LÁ, and I am so excited to share them with you.

🎂Happy Birthday. The Salted Egg Cake is one of their top sellers, and now it has its very own card! Salted egg yolk is also a very popular flavour in Taiwan so it really takes me back!

🥐Bánh mì to you. This one adds a great personal touch to any Vietnamese-themed gift and was painted to colour match all the delicious and authentic ingredients.

🍈Smells like love. This one happens to be both mine and Brian’s favourite!! The durian lovers in your life will absolutely adore this one.

Which is YOUR favourite? 🌟

These limited edition cards are now available for purchase in person at both LÀ LÁ Bakeshop (downtown and Scarborough) stores as well as at lalabakeshop.ca and chuonthisstudio.com. 💌 They measure 4.5” by 5.25”, are printed on high quality bright white stock, and are paired with the signature yellow that coincidentally happens to be both of our brand’s signature colour. Blank inside for your own message.

Shana Tovah to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah, and all the best for a happy and healthy Jewish New Year!

The “Shofar So Good” ram card now joins our “Marvelous Mitzvah” collection of Jewish holiday greeting cards. Check them out if you’re visiting or want to send wishes to any loved ones during the High Holidays!

Meet Reuben the Ram. His brother, Raffi the Ram, was my original ram painting until pointed out that he looked “a bit crazed” and I gotta admit, he does scare me every time I turn around…
