Alexandra — How to be a big sister

Tell us about your drawing: what is happening here?

The mom is letting her daughter hold the baby sister very carefully.  

Why did you draw this?

Because I am planning to make a book about how to be a big sister.

What do you enjoy to draw the most?

What I enjoy the most is coloring because it adds a lot of details and it is very neat. 

What is your favorite color?

Blue

Why?

Because it is very important to the water and the sky.

What’s more fun: drawing or painting?

Drawing.

Why?

Because you can add more detail when you are drawing. When you are painting you can make more mistakes and your work gets ruined, and you have to start a new one and you waste more paper.

What is art?

It is a creation you work really hard on.

What do you need to be an artist?

Be super creative so you can have the most amazing drawings in the world.

Are you an artist? Why?

I think I am but my dad is better.

More kids drawings, everywhere

With our brand new Prêt-à-Porter line, children drawings turn into beautiful objects carefully crafted in Montreal and available on our website and some selected boutiques within the city

You may surely have heard what Pablo Picasso used to say: “Every kid is an artist.” Since the beginning of this project, we have been very focused on our goal: making kids’ art more visible. For that reason, we have embedded their artworks into different formats and turning them into art pieces that all the family could appreciate on a daily basis.

We know that loving parents keep all those drawings carefully in a box, but they don’t necessarily know what to do with them, so we collect them and transform them into beautiful books, posters, calendars, and cards that families can treasure and show with great pride.

It’s been four years since we started Tuta & Coco and now we want to take all this to the next level. We want to share the our kids' art with everyone, even beyond the family circle. We want to see those great and honest, colorful lines everywhere around.

With our brand new Prêt-à-Porter line, children drawings turn into beautiful objects carefully crafted in Montreal and available on our website and some selected boutiques within the city.

We are proud to announce our very first collection: L’Ours (The bear), made with the drawing of Armando, a 5 years old boy. We love the story behind this drawing: Armando’s mom kept it carefully for more than 40 years! Today, Armando is an adult, but his picture still shows all his essence as a young artist. Now his bear is walking around our greeting cards, gift tags and notebooks, the very firsts we have made for all of you.
