I can’t believe it’s almost the end of the year already (and this would be accompanied by further exclamations on how I’m getting a year older come December!)

This time of year will normally be the time where I reflect on what has happened throughout the year. And when I reflect, it’s never lost on me how Pikaland has grown by leaps and bounds since my first post here in February 2008. And so to Pikaland’s artists, sponsors, buyers, collaborators, participants and readers, I would like to shout out a big THANK YOU for making Pikaland into the community that it is today.

{And as my small way of giving thanks and in honor of the festive spirit, there’s a 20% discount in the shop just for you – just key in the coupon code PIKATHANKS during checkout! Feel free to spread the word around as the code will be valid until Wednesday next week.}

Fun, bright illustrations from graphic designer, illustrator and painter Paweł Mildner who is based in Wroclaw, Poland. He’s dabbling in hand-drawn type too, and it’s fun to see where his experimentations will lead him.

Art House Co-op just launched the Sketchbook Project Limited Edition Vol. 1 last week, and this time, the project is open to just 5,000 participating artists!

Every contributor to the Limited Edition Vol. 1 will be included in a series of art books documenting the project to be published in the fall of 2012; and not only that — each sketchbook will also be exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Library. Together, the book series will provide insight into the imagination and process of each artist participating in the project and present an interpretive portrait of the Sketchbook Project community.

Art House has offered Pikaland readers a 15% discount coupon when you join the Sketchbook Project Limited Edition Vol. 1 – just enter PIKALAND5000 at checkout!
