The Lighthouse Cafe

The Lighthouse CafeI first drew The Lighthouse Caf because of its connection to La La Land, long before I ever had the chance to visit in person. A few years later, I finally made it there for a jazz night, and when I say it completely lived up to the magic Id imagined. I was genuinely starstruck when we arrived and those neon lights lit up in front of me, and the musicians were just unbelievable. The whole evening left such an impression on me that I ended up creating

over-the-top landmark

Fun mini print inspired by the iconic Tail o' the Pup in Los Angeles

long before the golden arches became a global symbol

the Rose Bowl is the home stadium for UCLA’s football team

I’m so happy I pushed through as the very first day I shared it online

and it’s one of my favourite prints to reflect on as the years have passed

When I set out to draw it

Designed in a charming French Normandy style

If you ever find yourself in the area

and somehow it’s always bigger than I remember

when everything still felt new and full of discovery

and when I say it completely lived up to the magic I’d imagined
