Here it is peeps! The last of the updates for the participants for the October round — which means that the giveaway will be so soon your head will spin. And at the same time, I’ll be revealing a new interface to the shop section, yeeha!
Without further ado, here’s the list of the 7 last participants:
As always, you can have a look at the full set of images over on our Flickr stream, and see a gallery of our participants on this page!
This brings the total of participants to a big number of 46! A big thank you to the wonderful illustrators and artists who came in for this round — and a big hug for being super patient while I work out some timing issues!
Sign up for our mailing list to be the first to know when the giveaway begins, and when this round of packages are up for sale (the ones currently in the shop are from our August participants)!
See you all in the morning! 😉

Poketo has recently teamed up with 826LA — a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills — to create a special series of artist wallets where 826LA students crafted short stories to line the inside of Poketo’s artist wallets. The outside of the wallet features Poketo artists’ interpretations of the stories!
The artists chosen to illustrate the stories include Tim Biskup, Esther Pearl Watson, Mark Todd, Martha Rich, Rama Hughes, Christine Castro, Leah Chun, Chris Bettig, John Pham and Keith Knueven.
Your purchase of the wallets will support current and future programs at 826LA, so hop on over for a read!
