So here’s what you need to do have a chance to win each one of these packages — visit the shops/websites of our participants, and write down here in the comments which product you like from their shops (include the links if you’d like). Here’s some information:

  1. You can make one long list, but please do not comment more than once. If you do, you’ll immediately be disqualified!
  2. Some of the artists don’t have shops yet, but that’s alright too, just let us know you liked what they sent in!
  3. The closing date for this is on Monday 8th December, 8 p.m. PST/PDT. I’ll pick two random winners from the comments section, so be sure to leave your email addy!

To read more about our participants, remember to read up our PikaPackage zine too! If you’d like to read the zine online, then head on to read it over at our Issuu page. The cover art for this issue was done by the lovely Aaron + Ayumi of APAK!

  1. Everyone’s work is exceptional, but I love Anna Emilia Laitinen’s paintings. She has many lovely pieces in her website. They’re quietly powerful and beautifully crafted. Fantastic work!

  2. Vairi says:

    eeee, all of APAK’s work is beyond adorable, and The Beautiful Project’s rather, er, unconventional card (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18071446) make me giggle in a very childish fashion. a lot.

  3. manu says:

    I love Printspace cards with sooo cute birds and Craftyfolk pins with lovely mugs :)!

  5. Alice Potter says:

    OK i have fallen in love with Julia Staite, and the drawing of the fighting bears!!
    http://www.juliastaite.com/
    and Rui Vitorino Santos’ wonderful illustration here is so perfectly composed:
    http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__GBFIWBkgI4/SLQNkny8JbI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/l0uPEiLD9Zs/s1600-h/rui_funnygames.jpg
    And all of yael frans work is brilliant. really individual, and unconventional…love the Girl rub on transfers!

  6. I love when it’s Pika Package time. I’m addicted to these things. I’m happy to see Vusova’s work featured this round. I’m pleased to see a fellow Visual Arts Street Teamer (VAST) from Etsy is included. She’s a wonderful artist and it’s hard to pick a favourite. I think I’d have to go with “Winter Love” though.

    For this round, I am digging the Gaia Bordicchia dolls and the overall design upon her holiday goods. Her characters have such a charming personality, with a bit of the sweet and a bit of the tart—

    I also really, really HEART APAK! Is is pronounced A-P-A-K or A-Pak? Either way. Their “Happy Hermit” collection is super awesome— my favorite is where the hermits are luring out hippos with cupcakes.
