The Go Travel! PikaPackage giveaway!
Posted by Amy on Friday August 6, 2010
For this August, I thought that it would be fitting to have a package that is dedicated to traveling. Summertime has always been about going to different places to discover something new, and this year it’s been a little quieter than usual on the internet because of it.
Once the vacation is over (or for those who are stuck at home like me,) I think it would be fantastic to be able to collect a package that can remind you about how fantastic it is to go see the world — and this is the premise of the Go Travel! PikaPackage. I hope that this would also inspire you to go out and explore – no matter the season!
For this theme we have curated a total of 14 illustrators who submitted their work in the form of prints, zines, notebooks, stickers, buttons and paper toys (more would have participated, if it weren’t for the traveling season — a catch-22 indeed!):
1. Annie Galvin of 3 Fish Studios
2. Aileen Holmes
3. Alison Tang of Little Clouds
4. Angela Keoghan
5. Chum Mcleod
6. Donna McKenzie of Corella Design
7. Émilie Boudet
8. Emma Cowley
9. Gaia Cornwall
10. Ilaria Benedetti
11. Kitty Kilian
12. Laura Tarrish
13. Rachael Smith of Penelope and Pip
14. Suzanne L. Vinson
Best of all, you can read all about our participants in this little nifty Go Travel! PikaPackage zine – there’s a short little Q+A in there with each artist and you may just find a new favorite to love!
We have TWO 8-item Go Travel! PikaPackage for grabs (valued at about $70 each!), and TWO lucky winners will get to take home a large loot of lovely items in the mail! All you have to do is just head on to any of the websites above and tell us which one is your favorite artist & why. Drop your note in the comments section by 12th August and we’ll email the winners after!
For those who want to get a Go Travel! PikaPackage of your very own, you can head over to the shop to pick up a package!
{Although participation in the PikaPackage Project is by invitation only, you can notify me of your interest and read more about the project over at our galleria page.}

Aug 7, 12:28 AMAll interesting and talented artists. Tough call, but I like Angela Keoghan’s work a lot…great color palette.
#33 :: Kasey Ann
Aug 7, 01:17 AMThis was really difficult just so you know! It’s hard to favorite a single artist when all the styles are different but oh so good! If I were to ultimately choose, I it’d be Donna McKenzie. For what reason? Well first off I love ink work and patterns. It’s an extra bonus she’s throwing in cute animals and owls wearing glasses! It’s the kinda art I love framing in my room~
#38 :: Kaatje
Aug 7, 03:36 AMI love wallflowerdiy.blogsp… because her work is a mix of realisme with a hint of fantasy in the mix also her use of black and white with color accents fascinates me!
#40 :: AidelK

Great giveaway! :)
#51 :: shelley
Aug 8, 10:53 PMgreat project but not so great having to choose a fav. I love the 3 fishes’ logo and artist combo style and Angela Keoghan’s work is really amazing. I want to know some of the animals in Donna McKenzie’s works and I want to buy a Kitty Killian ‘sibling rivalry’ print. But I must choose Chum McLeod as my favorite. Her rich colors and light and dark subject balance intrigue me.

Aug 10, 02:32 PMI love Rachael Smith of Penelope & Pip! The cool color palette is gorgeous and the asymmetrical shapes are just lovely. Everything is adorable : D!

Aug 11, 03:03 AMThe Go Travel package is so fantabulous. It is like watching Discovery channel and saying ‘hey, I want to go to this place..and this place..and this place’. All the artists have such different and unique approaches, that choosing one is a tad bit difficult. But, just like each place has something different, something unique and something magical to offer… the works of each of these artists speaks in the same way.
I really love Rachael Smith’s work because its dreamy, whimsical… and the skies she paints are so beautiful…one could just lie down on a grassy patch and stare at them all day long.

Aug 11, 04:26 PMI love Little Clouds, there are so many different things in that shop, form paper work to home goods to assesoires to dolls, I love them all!
#69 :: emma kisstina
Aug 12, 02:16 AMHard to decide when I think the entire group is equally talented…but if I must choose, Kitty Kilian’s humor just kills me. Plus she has a super cool name!
#71 :: Lubaska
