Easter at Liligraffiti
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

A few of our favorite traditions + some cute things to spoil your little ones! We love Easter! It’s the perfect occasion for the food lovers that we are to celebrate a day by eating chocolate! The thing we love the most, is building traditions around those special dates. Easter is an especially joyous celebration when you live in Quebec, as it happens around the beginning of Spring. We enjoy the first warm days, we take long walks in the sun, we admire the trees getting their green back…(Like in our art print "Green streets") And of course, we brunch!...

In the kitchen with Liligraffiti
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

Discover our brand new organizational duo! Here at Liligraffiti, we don’t mess with food. We love going to restaurants (we sure miss going to places!), meals with friends, traveling and discovering new food (as you might have noticed with our new “windows of the world” series on our newsletters), and of course, cooking for/with our family. Dish towels were already part of our permanent collection, and we launched at the end of last year a brand new product, which was the recipe notebook. This idea was born during the first lock-down, and was meant to gather people around the concept...
A presentation of the Spring/Summer 21 collection
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

Colors, good vibes, and more. 2020 was oh so strange and difficult. All those challenges were the starting point of our first collection of the year 2021, that we designed like an artistic reaction to that time. We wanted to bring out beauty, positiveness, kindness, and of course, lots of colours. Deeply influenced by the sanitary crisis, but also by the emergence of the BLM movement and the wake-up call that followed, you will find these events subtly displayed in our new visuals, as a mirror of our new reality. SHOP OUR NEW COLLECTION Three main themes were developed in...
For all animal lovers
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

Some of our most loved and popular animal visuals Animals have always been a large part of our visuals. My childhood was filled with cats and dogs, as well as many other animals that I encountered when I visited my grand-parents, which are probably some of my most happy memories. This explains why animals are still to this day one of my main source of inspiration, as I love going back to sweet memories whenever I draw. Here are some of our animal visuals that you’ll love! (All of these illustrations are available in English!) -For birthdays -For births: -Love...

Love is all around us, at Liligraffiti's workshop!
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

A selection of our most romantic greeting cards, our love playlist, and more! Love, love, love… Are we hopeless romantics inside the Liligraffiti team? Yes, we are (and proud to be!) We don't really care about being stereotypical, we really dig the whole Valentine's day vibe. Ok, ok, it's a fact, this celebration is mostly commercial, but then again, as long as it's a celebration of love, we are on for it! So, we know for sure (and so do our hubbies) that the evening of the 14th of February will be an evening of romance, with a nice meal,...

A glimpse of our essentials for a productive and inspiring day. Life at Liligraffiti's workshop has become somewhat kind of familiar for you by now!

Things I love (Christmas edition)
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

A new category on the blog, with a never-seen-before illustration! We really wanted to end this year on a nice and sweet note, by offering you a brand new category on the blog, celebrating things we love and of course, with the adequate illustration. As you may have noticed with my work, I am a positive and optimistic person; I am your typical "half-full glass girl, and I love small everyday pleasures. All of this gave us the idea of this illustration, very Pintererest-like, to present you my favourite things to do around Christmas time. This year has been a...

New product alert: Our flash-number cards
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

Many ways to enjoy our new set of flash-cards We just launched a brand new collab with the on-line baby shop Le Monde est tout-petit. This is our third collab with Ingrid, after our « Month after month” milestone cards, and the Alphabet flash-cards. This time, we took interest in numbers and imagined a new flash-cards set, illustrated with homes & buildings from all around the world. Going from 1 to 10, the cards show the numbers written with letters and are associated with the correct number of illustrations, which makes the whole learning process fun and attractive to kids.

A planner by Liligraffiti for 2021
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

We introduce you to our new project! We can’t deny it, we are connected girls. Sometimes even too connected to be honest. :) But there are still places where our heart is still very much into the paper side of things. To take notes, or to make our to-do lists, for instance (Hello notebooks and notepads by Liligraffiti!) but also for our planners. It is truly impossible for us to use an electronic version, and God knows we tried! We’ve been thinking about creating our own version of the everyday planner for quite some time; many of you requested it,...

A secret project unveiled: My cover for a novel.
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

Behind the scenes of an other aspect of my job! As much as I love creating new designs for my own personal brand, I get really excited whenever something new comes up. Personalized illustrations like « Draw me » and « Draw my house » have been amazing to let my creativity express in other ways. It may seem strange but I love working with constraints and guidelines: it unleashes my imagination! A few months ago, an editor from the Au carré publishing house reached to me to offer me a contract to imagine the cover of an upcoming novel. I was very enthusiastic...

Travel destination: New-York & us
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

A love story between Big Apple & our team We share a lot of things at Liligraffiti, and among those things, we share a big love for the Big Apple. Each of us has been there quite a few times and we are longing to go back there again. Whether it’s for professional motives (Hello, NSS!) or just as a leisure trip, we take every opportunity we get to go to NYC. We love this mix of urban jungle and green spaces! This city never ceases to amaze and fascinate us. These are a few of the things that we...

Being anti-racist as a (white) artist
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

I understand that I can't understand, but I stand. As you know, those past few days were the starting point of a great worldwide movement on the social media, and on a more global way, in our society. Following George Floyd’s death, many voices started to elevate against the police abuses against Black people. It happened in the USA but the problem is systemic. We should feel concerned because the issue is larger than this. Racism is a complex topic, as we all have a role to play in its eradication. Today is not about not being racist but about...
Notebooks to help you remember
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

A nice hack to turn an everyday item into something priceless. Some of my favorite memories are about little things that I used to collect from my walks or the experiences I lived. They were lots of them, filling my pockets, and then some boxes when I was back home. Growing up, the power of words became another great discovery: I learned how writing about things you were experiencing helped you remember not only the experience itself, but also the feelings and emotions that surrounded it. When I first started my stationery line and designed my very first Liligraffiti collections,...
