I’ve been playing around with Tumblr for a while now and it’s been an interesting few weeks! All I know is that I love the fellow Tumblrs I’ve been meeting online, and it’s amazing to be able to share content so easily. I love that I am able to be quickly updated on new works by fellow artists (via the dashboard); and it feels like our own secret hangout!

So now Pikaland has it’s own Tumblr blog, and get this — if you’re on Tumblr, you can submit your work via Tumblr directly by heading to the submission page. I’ll be going through them before posting them up, but how cool is that?

And I’m on the lookout for a new theme – if you have a favorite, do let me know in the comments! 🙂

Coming up: Nigel Peake’s eye candy of a book!

I love posters – silk screened or not – because I love the idea of temporary art. And because I’m still experimenting with the layout for our home (yes, after 2 years, we’re still at it!) that means no nails on the wall for now. So until I can find a way to display my small print collection, I’ve mostly been putting up posters for now.

And I’m saving up to buy a couple of posters done by James Heimer – an artist based in Philadelphia, USA who has made lots of flyers and posters for bands. His linework is gorgeous – free, loose and bold – just the way I like it.

See more over at his portfolio site and you can get his posters and prints at his Etsy shop.

Beautiful, delicate illustrations done by Gabriella Barouch for her final project at Bezalel Academy Of Art And Design. The ones above are a selection of illustrations that accompany a compendium of limericks by Edward Lear in the Book of Nonsense. You can see the entire book over at her portfolio website.
