Julianna Swaney of Oh My Cavalier (featured previously) just opened up a new Bigcartel shop, where you’ll find wonderful exclusive items, such as these Mechanical Animals paper dolls.

She’s giving away one set of these lovely set of 6 cut out and assemble paper dolls, made from her original watercolor drawings and inspired by an antique toy set of the same name to ONE lucky Pikaland reader. Enter by commenting on this post by 16th February to be in the running!

UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Flora May!

Sandra Suy’s line up of girls can make anyone stop in their tracks. Elegant, restrained and with a come hither gaze, these ladies will stand the test of time. Barcelona-based Sandra studied fashion design, but loved drawing as well; and in the end she combined her two loves and became a fashion illustrator. Purchase prints of them right here.

I am beguiled by the gorgeous swirls and heady colors on Simon Wild’s work. Everything’s fun and organic! I’m loving how his style is strongly reflected through a variety of media — he has previously worked as an animator, filmmaker, video editor and street performer before pursuing a career in illustration.

Watch his silent video above, inspired by a working trip to Iceland to explore the glacial lagoon of Jokulsarlon, at the foot of the Vatnajokull glacier, and you’ll know what I mean.
