Our favorites thing at Liligraffiti workshop
Posted by Marie-Laure Plano on

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! You know how we love to be efficient (the ultimate joy to cross a task off a to-do list! You know the feeling) but always in a good and fun spirit. For this brand new year, we wanted to offer you an illustration with all of our favorite daily things! Let's also take this occasion to wish you an amazing year 2021. We wish you a year filled with dates with friends, reunions with family...
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...

Once you got your calendar, you are free to make it truly yours and to put together...
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.

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,...
