Lumadessa / Josh Brill
Posted by Amy on Thursday February 2, 2012
These brilliant prints by Josh Brill are selling quickly since I saw them last year! The Portland-based artist and designer who set up his label Lumadessa (which originates from the words luminous meaning ‘light’ and odyssey, meaning ‘a long eventful or adventurous journey’) focuses on limited edition art prints and design products that are almost collectibles in their own right – classic and timeless.
See more of his work over at his shop.

Cate Parr

The end the week, I’m enjoying these lovely watercolor lovelies by artist Cate Parr, who grew up in England but is now based in Los Angeles.
—————
Remember my post on Racheal’s passing? I just heard the most uplifting news from Laura (Racheal’s mom) that their family has started the Racheal Anilyse Art Initiative through the Rose Foundation of Haiti, and that the University of Hartford School of Art has established a scholarship in Racheal’s name.
Also, the University has an online guestbook where you can share your memories and express your condolences.
Have a great weekend folks – I’ll see you back here on Monday.

Love these quirky, simple illustrations by Amy Walters from the UK who sells her selection of hand drawn accessories and paper goods over at Etsy. I originally discovered her via Flickr (and over at Pikaland’s Flickr group).

Sponsor giveaway: Heartbox
Posted by Amy on Tuesday December 13, 2011
Christina Vagenius of Heart Box Studio is a self-taught artist and her work is one of the brightest and cheeriest I’ve ever come across. She uses recycled books, journals and other assorted materials to create shadowbox art and illustrations which she sells in her Etsy shop! She also recently finished a book called The Gift, a three dimensional children’s book created using vintage and discarded books and journals.
As our sponsor for the month of December, she’s giving away a USD$50 gift voucher, fully redeemable at her Etsy shop to ONE lucky Pikaland reader!
Just leave your comments in this post to be in the running and we’ll randomly pick out a winner after the 20th of December 2011!
The contest has ended and the winner has been picked by random.org – Elisa! :) Thanks everyone for joining in the contest!
