The Gocco PikaPackage giveaway!
Posted by Amy on Monday September 20, 2010
We’re really excited to announce the launch of the latest PikaPackage Project — the Gocco Edition, that features a curated list of 17 artists and illustrators who dabble in the medium!
I fell in love with the Gocco machine ever since I saw the works that came out of one. Simple, colorful and compact, the toy-like table-top screenprinting contraption was easy to operate and so much fun! As the number of artists who used Gocco for their art increased (as well as those who loved the medium), I thought that it would be a huge fun to organize a package around the theme! The Gocco PikaPackage is a beautiful collection of works by these artists:
1. Benconservato
2. Cindy Tomcyzk
3. Dee Beale
4. Denise Holmes
5. Emily Glaubinger
6. Fric De Mentol
7. haunted house of projects
8. Jesses Mess
9. Kate Pugsley
10. Keeki
11. Kids Haus
12. Laura Berger
13. Mateo & Isabel
14. Moira Millman
15. Piktorama
16. Susan Estelle Kwas
17. Susan Schwake
In this issue of the Gocco PikaPackage zine (available as a FREE download!), you can get to know the artists via a short Q & A, and there’s also a treat in store for Gocco lovers — our artists share some of their Gocco tips with you!
We have TWO 8-item Gocco PikaPackage for grabs (valued at about $50 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, explore their work and tell us which one is your favorite artist & why. Drop your note in the comments section by 27th September and we’ll email the winners after!
For those who want to get a limited edition Gocco 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.}
Here’s hoping that this giveaway will chase away your Monday blues! ;)

Anyone hungry yet?
I’m looking at these deliciously sweet illustrations by Amaranta Martinez of Piktorama, an illustrator and designer who hails from Spain, and trying very hard not to munch on something! Grab yourself a limited edition Gocco print of these sinful goodies at her Etsy shop and see more of her work at her website.

Moira Millman has been illustrating for over 15 years now – she started by crafting her illustrations from elaborate 3D collages; and now to hand drawn elements that are put together digitally. She’s based in the UK, and has done lots of work for different clients, ranging from those in the USA to Europe.
She also has a small collection of gocco prints in her Etsy shop (there’s just two at the moment, here’s hoping for more!)

Sponsor giveaway: Benconservato

Everyone should have a monster to call their own. Mine would be one that’s a little rough around the edges, scruffy looking with a gruff voice, but a big heart (and one with a smile goes a long way too.)
If there ever was a lady who could translate my perfect monster onto paper, that would be Emma Kidd of Benconservato. She’s based in Australia, and is an artist, illustrator, printmaker, and photographer who’s always busy dreaming up and drawing monsters!
She’s giving away a set of Monsters Behaving Badly Colouring Book and a 6-pack of Colour Me Happy Gocco Party Invites to ONE lucky reader if you’ll share with us your favorite monsters (real or imaginary!)
Giveaway ends on 16th March 2010 and the winner will be announced via email!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is stephanie morgan rogers.
