Fun stickers of weird yet huggable characters by James Burlinson aka Burlisaurus, an illustrator & designer who’s based in Huddersfield, England. Although the stickers are for his final project in school, he’s already a part of design studio Neon Gravy, and has a self professed love for character design (surprise, surprise!) His characters are quite lovable – there’s a lot of detail in each one, and I’d really like to see more from him!
You can see some of his process over at his flickr stream!
Lately I’ve really been drawn to D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) art kits and was so excited to stumble across, like a drunken sailor, these beauties!
I LOVE the Letter Press Paper House Kit- Chandler Lane by 1canoe2 I want to buy a whole series and set up a small village in my bedroom. I’ve also been admiring these D.I.Y. Collage Kits by Anthony Zinonos @Little Paper Planes and am seriously tempted to purchase just to see what’s inside! (Would also be perfect source material for our current Visual Journaling class!)
And I’m imagining embroidering hundreds of alligators on my bedspread using the A Alligator and Albatross PDF File Embroidery Pattern by penguinandfish. Pretty soon my whole room would be filled with D.I.Y. Art kit related works which I would take pictures of my 15 cats in the middle of, or at least try not to trip over on the way to the bathroom at night!
If you were to package and sell a D.I.Y. Art Kit what would it be?
After a bit of a hiatus on our sponsor giveaways, I’m so thrilled to have it start up once again, and who better to begin with than Judy Kaufmann? We first profiled her in one of our blog posts and in it, I mentioned how much I loved her big Identical Twins print which was dedicated to her twin sister – and now for one Pikaland reader, you’ll get to hang one up your wall!
Judy is offering one Identical Twins A3 print worth USD$36 to ONE lucky reader who leaves down a comment on this post by 14th September!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Moira Millman, as generated by random.org.
