Illustration created in collaboration with Mtl Latte Heart
In the summer of 2024, I worked as a barista at Café Malté in St-Henri, Montréal. The beautiful summer days pulling espresso shots by the Lachine canal were spent alongside Stephanie, aka Mtl Latte Heart who was the backbone of the café.
The unique and beautiful location of the café inspired both of us to dream up a collaborative project which consisted of an illustrated print and merchandise.
The illustration was largely inspired by the lush scenery of the canal, the mysterious pink house and the kitschy plastic pink flamingos which were lovingly placed around the café.

Here's some snapshots of my process in making this illustration!
The illustration was printed at 8.5 x 11 inches as well as postcard prints which were sold at the café.
