Remember last week when I mentioned that Pikaland is going to have another contributor? Well please welcome Jamie Shelman – painter, artist, cat fancier, and cycling fanatic. She loves minimal forms of expression that contain within them an ability to engage the viewer’s imagination without filling in all the blanks, and the best part of all? You can now find her posting about new artists and great design here on Pikaland – her first post will be up tomorrow, so stay tuned!
She’ll be joining our roster of growing wonderful contributors, and you can see who else is on the list over here!

Previously known as the Pikaland Exposure Grant, we teamed up with Society6 to offer one artist who garnered the most votes on there, a chance to be on Pikaland as a featured artist with an interview; along with a free advert placement up on the blog worth USD$55.
The bad news: the Pikaland Exposure Grant is no more.
The good news: it now lives on as the Pikaland Artist Feature (got you there, didn’t I?) and is now back up for grabs.
Toss your hat in the ring over here!
{Previous winners: Craig Atkinson and Aijung Kim}

Have a good weekend everyone! I’ll spot you back next week, where I’ll introduce a new contributor and also a new project on Pikaland! 😉
