Brianna Lamar does amazing things with a black ink pen. There’s no planning involved, no pencils — she just moves her pen.

I like the textures of these collage-inspired cards by Alarna Zinn, an Australian artist who recently launched a line of cards and tags at Little Jane St.


A while back, I discovered a website called Trade Secrets, a site for dispensing advice about being a illustrator from Arizona-based Meg Hunt. She stopped posting there for awhile, but I’m so glad that she picked it up again!
From there, I stumbled upon her Etsy shop called Pogonip (a word that refers to ice particles in the air, nicknamed the white death’), where she sells these awesome to-do lists, along with screenprints.


Her work is also at Blue Flip Art where you can find her prints (there’s a wider range over there). Best of all, with every print sold, a portion of the sale goes to Heal Africa, an organization that provides holistic care for the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
You can read her blog, see her portfolio, and go on to her Etsy shop or her Blue Flip Art page for more wonderful illustrated goodies.
Hi there and welcome to Pikaland! This is my personal playground where I write and research about art, creativity, and the pursuit of art entrepreneurship. Enjoy!
