2011 Calendar Giveaway & Contest!

To celebrate the end of a wonderful, eventful year & the coming of a new one, I'm giving away two 2011 calendars by le petit elefant & {paper & type}!
The Contest:

Submit a story (100 word limit) to inspire a new painting. Be creative, playful & imaginative! There's only one catch: the story must include 'a balloon' in some way, shape or form. Limit one entry per person. You may submit via blogpost comment or email genevieve(at)lepetitelefant.com.
The Winners: One will be chosen at random. The second winner will be the author of my favorite entry and will not only win a calendar but a print of the finished, collaborative painting. It's a great way to win a custom painting!
So start writing! The contest/giveaway ends at 11:59pm PST on Wednesday, December 29th with the winners announced on Thursday. Have fun & good luck! :)

Merry Christmas!

The Silliest Family Portrait I've Ever Painted!

The Meaning of Life by Don Hertzfeldt

is one of my favorite/most adored/beloved animated shorts OF ALL TIME. ALL TIME!

And you can watch it here for free for a limited time! Merry Christmas! :D

These are some of my favorite scenes because I'm a nerd and made screenshots while watching it... whatever don't judge me! It's so PRETTY!

No computers were used either. Oh, my hero!

More Earmuffs!

Off to Missouri

& San Francisco

I'm getting pretty fast at making them now :)

You can order a pair here! but be warned, it won't be in time for Christmas.

Le Petit Elefant now selling at Modern Mouse!

Hoorah! I'm slowly making my way up California :)

Visit the shop. It's incredibly sweet & all goods--home accessories, gifts, art, cards, clothes--are by local & independent artists. It's like the bay area version of flockshop in los angeles. Eleen, the shop's owner, has such great energy & it translates to how she curates the shop. My favorite part was the table fort. Yes. A table fort :)
