Alexandra Hedberg is no stranger at Pikaland. In addition to being a fine artist who keeps an excellent blog (where she offers her opinions on art and business regularly) she has also prepared a self-study class on Camp Pikaland where one can learn more about art as a business.

She’s going to be one of our regulars on the blog with a column dedicated to your burning questions about – you guessed it – art and business (and no, the combination of both is not a bad word at all). The column starts in May 2012, but you can send in your questions to us starting RIGHT THIS MINUTE via email at amy{AT}pikaland{DOT}com.

Ask away folks!

From Penguin Threads comes a collection of classics, all embroidered to the hilt. The below are covers done by Jillian Tamaki and they are absolutely exquisite. These will be sculptural-embossed and are full wraparound images with french flaps (you can click here to go to Jillian’s site for images that can be enlarged). Black Beauty even won a Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators in 2012!

You can purchase these over at Amazon, and another artist’s work that will soon grace the covers of the collection include Rachell Sumpter.
