About LadooLadoo

Hello there. Thanks for visiting my store. I am a female, BIPOC artist and illustrator from Los Angeles. I grew up doodling and coloring while growing up in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Malaysia. My art is inspired by the colors of my childhood and nature. I grew up with four other sisters, my mom was very creative and we were always surrounded by plants and local fruits, vegetables and wonderful homemade food, and other objects. My mom gardened and my childhood was very colorful and fun. The name 'LadooLadoo' is from a dessert called Ladoo. It is a small sweet goodness made up of chickpea flour, ghee, and sugar that most of us loved eating growing up in South Asia. It is like chocolate in Europe! There are bakers and chefs back home that only make Ladoos and people come from all over and wait for hours to buy a box of these sweet Ladoos. I love the idea that a small sweet Ladoo can bring so much unity and passion and erase all the differences! Hope you enjoy my little shop and find the same joy! Please feel free to look around and see if you like anything. If not no worries, you can also follow me on Instagram @shopladooladoo or my personal @sumayyaansari to see my latest work.
