This year I’ve caught the creating bug and it’s pretty bad (in a good way!) So I’ve been doing lots of sketches and experimenting with layouts and wanted to see how they’d look like printed on an actual product. I’ve heard lots about Moo and will be sending these off to be printed as greeting cards (I might just add a couple more designs to the mix before I do though, as I love the fact that you can have different designs all in one pack!)

Moo has also graciously said yes to offering Pikaland readers a discount for 10% off their order too, just enter the code PIKALAND10 during checkout! The promotion is valid until the end of February, so now’s the perfect time to craft up some cards!

I can almost see Iceland-based illustrator’s Linda Olafsdottir work come to life as animated shows. Her characters are a joy to look at, and there’s a certain heart-warming quality to her illustrations that I’m sure would endear those who see it between the pages of picture books.

Happy weekend everyone! We’re coming round to the last day of the Chinese New Year this weekend so I’ll be out and about meeting up with friends and watching the last lion dance of the year.

Oh, and don’t forget that Michelle Fifis’ The Sellable Sketch class is filling up quickly and Alexandra Hedberg’s self-study Art as a Business class starts next week so if you haven’t enrolled yet, this weekend would be the best time to do so!

See you all on Monday!

These brilliant prints by Josh Brill are selling quickly since I saw them last year! The Portland-based artist and designer who set up his label Lumadessa (which originates from the words luminous meaning ‘light’ and odyssey, meaning ‘a long eventful or adventurous journey’) focuses on limited edition art prints and design products that are almost collectibles in their own right – classic and timeless.
