The Good to Know Project is full of advice + inspiration from artists/illustrators/designers on creativity, business and life. Every month, we ask one question and forward it to friends of Pikaland, who in turn will share their thoughts on a particular subject. Past themes include:

#1: Creativity

#2: Personal Style

#3: Time Management

#4: Goals & Success

#5: Art Education

#6: Envy/Jealousy

#7: Plagiarism

#8: HELP!

Two cool dudes, one sweet love. Her name: Print Brigade. Hand drawn typography is a beautiful thing and Chris Piascik and Vaughn Fender celebrate it in their joint company Print Brigade. PRBR makes tees, totes, and prints for women and men.

I went to art school with these two. Their screen printed and lino cut posters could be found in the class and on dorm room walls. So it’s nice to see that what they loved back then, they are still making now.

The point: all you need is one art friend, encourage each other to create, stick with it, and allow yourself to be wooed by typography from time to time!

I’m so happy to introduce one of our first contributors to Pikaland: Racheal Anilyse! Racheal has been running Underground Art School, a magazine devoted to advocating the work of art students, graduates, and creative professionals new to their field since 2008 and has her own Etsy shop where she sells prints (and soon to come, more lovely original works!) She will be blogging mainly about hand-drawn typography and ink/tea-stained art.

I’m really excited about this, as Racheal herself runs her own wonderful blog and there’s always something wonderful brewing up over there!

Watch out for her first post coming up after this. Welcome dear Racheal!
