Brian Patenaude sent in his Smurf Series prints, and also smaller sized, quirky prints of robotic-looking things.
Brian has also contributed to our July PikaPackage Project!

I just got Twittered, and if you think you didn’t have enough of me (and Pikaland, I might add), you can always follow me around via my Twitter feeds.
You know what else I’m digging right now? Gemma’s illustrated diary on her vacation to the states in 2007. You should see it over on her Flickr set. I think everyone’s travel diary should look like this.
Oh, and I’ve uploaded the first round of the participants for the August PikaPackage Project up in Flickr, and will put it up here in the blog tomorrow once I’ve cleaned up the backend of the site it’s done! Everyone’s packages are pouring in nicely, so you’ll get glimpses when the time draws nearer. 😉
Happy Monday, people!
Hi there and welcome to Pikaland! This is my personal playground where I write and research about art, creativity, and the pursuit of art entrepreneurship. Enjoy!
