Love these jointed paper dolls by Rachael Baldanza of Balduffington. And because of how she describes her paper dolls —
Fully manipulat-able little paper people because you really shouldn’t manipulate real people.
I love her wit too.

I’m compelled to post these cards & wall art by Crafterall as one of the things I love is smooth organic lines, but also because I studied landscape architecture, and this just brings me right back where I was hunched over day and night to produce drawings and conceive design solutions for the field. Ah… memories.

I’m having issues with my internet connection (it being no more for the moment), so I might have a little trouble to respond to your emails + such. I’m sneakily using some of my time at work for my internet fix! Posts for the blog will still be up as I’ve lined up enough posts to last until Friday!


I have a confession to make.
I can’t draw people. Or rather, I try to make them look perfect all the time, and I end up with drawings that look… weird.
It’s during these times that I wish I had the talent of others, such as Tomasz — an artist and illustrator who works for children publications and weekly press, and is based in France. From him I learn that I should let go and not care too much about proportions — especially the face (which I am always getting into trouble with) and just let everything slide.


I love his shop that’s filled with his drawings and also his blog that is filled with sketches and more.
{Thanks Meighan!}
I’m signing off until Monday as I have a packed Saturday and some furniture to break into on Sunday — remember to have tons of fun and happy weekend everyone!
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!
