Papirmasse

Papirmasse is an affordable art project that delivers cheap art by the post. We want everyone to have art – real art! Not the fake paintings sold at Ikea or the same tired posters every college student has. No! We want images to travel, and people to get excited about seeing. We sell prints in sets of 12 for $5.00 each (so $60), and in late 2010 will launch the Pap 100, a project that will feature the work of 100 artists and writers divided randomly into mailing tubes.

The prints included in the Pikapackage are $5.00 if you buy the full set from 2009, and range in price from $6 – $10 individually.

Hello! I live in Brooklyn, with my boyfriend and kitty cat, and I love to paint. I’ve worked as a textile designer for the past five years, and I recently just quit to concentrate on my art full-time!

All things cute and silly! Nature/yummy food/books/movies/travel/friends!

What message would you like to send out about your work?
It makes my day when I see or hear that my work has made someone smile!

What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
I just hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru recently, and that was absolutely amazing and serene and inspiring! And then we biked 30 miles down a mountain into the jungle in the pouring rain! I also just quit my day job to work on my art full-time. This is an exciting year for me!

How about a brief introduction?
Hello I’m from London and I love to draw, I also love jumper wearing pugs, knitting, crochet, painting my studio and cheese. But I hate peas.

Who/what inspires you?
A lot of people inspire me, I think the internet is a wonderful thing, you can find so much inspiration I’d find it hard to just pick one. Everyday life and the people who are around me also inspire me a lot.

What message would you like to send out about your work?
I just draw what I feel like really, so I think that I would like people to not take my work to seriously and enjoy it as much as I enjoy creating it.

What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
I guess I would have to say graduating and managing to get an Illustration job which I enjoy. O and learning to handstand last week.

Share a secret with us!
I cant go to sleep without the television on, this is a very bad habit that I need to fix!
