In this issue of the Zines PikaPackage zine (available for browsing over at ISSUU and as FREE download!), you can get to know the artists via a short Q & A that reveals more about what inspires them and also tips for others who are interested in putting together a zine.
We have TWO 4-item PikaPackage for grabs (valued at about $35 each!), and TWO lucky winners will get to take home a fantastic selection of zines in the mail!

This was just too hard, all the artists are brilliant in different ways…
but when I saw “It sounds good on the radio” by Pintame el dia my heart went “meep meep!”
Her work is the work for me. <3
I really like Beverly Ealdama’s work, it’s so interesting and creative!
My favorite is Lori Dean Dyment. Her animal prints are so pretty. I particularly like the little tiger print. 🙂
Pikaland always brings such wonderful artists to my attention, but I’m especially fond of Katie Green – so glad that I read this post and found her!
pintameldia, por su magia femenina 🙂
I just love Minifanfan’s work! Her illustrations are so whimsical and cute. 🙂
It was so much fun looking at all their beautiful artwork. My personal favorites were Katie Green, Pintameldia, and Mellybee.
Zines are so fun and the art looks great!
It’s tough to pick just one! But tonight I think my favourite is Katie Green – her work is quirky and not too cartoony, and the focus on food appeals to me.
love the Beavory zine- hope i will get one in my package(-:
These package is wonderful.
Everything is just so lovely.
Really tough to choose only one.
I love Beavory.
another awesome selection!
thanks, amy 🙂
Nice selection! My favourite is minifanfan, her whimsical illustrations immediately got my attention.
Pintameldia is the one for me. I like how there is always something slightly vulnerable in her pictures..
Santa didn’t bring me one of these so now I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
I adore Aijung Kim’s work. a d o r e!
awesome! I’m a big fan of Aijung Kim, I have some of her zines in my gallery.
I love minifanfan, especially she illustration the human character, all looks watermelon head, very special… well done~~~~
I love this !!!!
It’s so hard to choose just one. I enjoyed Pintameldia’s work. The colors are lovely and there’s something about those long braids that’s neat.
My fav is Jeanne Van Etten her work is dreamy and oh so lovely! Thank you, Louise. 🙂
Its very hard to choose just one artist, My favourite is Katie Green and Katie Allen ,They both such an exceptional artists! 🙂
I´d love to get one of these packages. I LOVE those kind of “surprising packages”. In combination with great illustrations it´s just awesome!
awesome selection!
It looks like an amazing selection of zines.
Am I allowed to win more than once?…If I can, let it be now =)
You did a wonderful job assembling such a fabulous assortment Amy. 🙂
I think my most favorite has to be Aijung Kim…but I am kinda biased as I have been a follower of Aijung’s for a while, collecting her mini books off Etsy as they appear. I have a special little display for all of them now as my friends love to read through them all.
As for the rest who are all so lovely…
Beavory’s work caught my attention as I love high contrast and line art.
YAY Beverly! Looking forward to seeing your journal at the Sketchbook Project stop in Winter Park. Mine will be there too! LOVE Beverly’s coffee pins, so very cute. (Also, thank you Beverly for the link to Rosie Hardy, phenomenal photos.)
Jeanne’s painted pieces are so whimsical and cute, love the colors. Bet her zine is adorable.
Juliana’s little puffy white stars are so cute. I’d fill a Christmas tree with them. hehe
Love Pintameldia’s “I bring the magic, you bring the cookies”. It so reminds me of when my best friend and I get together. Will have to pick up the Family card game for my own family, very cool.
Lovely drawings by Lori Dean. My daughter loves the curled up cat. hehe
Being that I am sick right now I can relate to Judy’s sleeper painting. LOL Lovely work.
Mellybee’s doodles are so cute!! Love the leafy scally-saur creature. hehe
The panda and cat illustration in the “Better Together” zine by minifanfa is PRECIOUS! My boyfriend loves pandas so I can related. hehe
All of Missy’s stuff is adorable, love the wood pins. Will definitely check out her zines. (And thank you for the Papersnitch link.)
Katie Green’s site itself is a work of art, really love it. MUST HAVE PLUSHIE FOOD! Awesomeness.
Katie Allen has some nice graphic design pieces. I had to laugh about the “I’m Blogging About Blogging” one. hehe
Think that covers all of them. LOL Great assortment of styles. Looking forward to seeing them all whether win or purchase. Keep up the great work Amy!
he, i see that i’m not too late for this attractive offer. I like winning 🙂
I love Missy Kulik and I’d love to win this zine pack! 🙂
What a delightful project & giveaway!
I love Katie Green’s work, so will pick her as my favourite (even though they are all awesome!). I simply must order her Green Beans zine sometime soon!
Awesome giveaway! =) I love your blog.
There were so many things I liked about so many of the artists. But I must admit, I absolutely love Beverly Ealdama. Her work is fun and I love the sketchy style she puts to use in her messages. Plus, she’s just plain inspiring with her sketchbook work and article on how to make art everyday.
I’m a fan of Miss Kulik and Kaite Green and well all the lovely illustrators. Hard to chose just one. But this truly is a wonderful giveaway
ps. also i am finally on your mailing list. Don’t know how I am not already as often as I visit the site!
so cute! <3

I’m in dire need of inspiration, so I’m hoping this is successful!
