I read each and every comment here on Pikaland, and I make it a point to visit the sites of my commenters — although I may not respond directly to your comments! Eyedrool was one — he left me a comment in early September. A quick hop over to his website one day and I’m mesmerized by his line drawings. It’s amazing how he produces almost optical-illusion based drawings that seem different each time you look at them.

It says that he’s currently studying at Manchester Metropolitan University for a postgraduate degree in the field of Design & Art Direction; and that he illustrated the cover (and insides) of one Flux Magazine. Other than that though, I don’t really know much about him because he stopped posting on his blog since last year. I wish he’d continue to post because his work is too beautiful to be kept in the dark!

Meeralee is an artist residing in the east coast of USA who loves doing custom work and commissions! Her specialty is ink and line drawings (they’re really detailed!) where she adds flora, fauna, and nautical-inspired elements that frame your face.

As a sponsor, she’ll draw a custom portrait for ONE lucky Pikaland reader that’s worth USD$80! (Take your pick of a black and white line drawing or a watercolor rendering.)

Just comment in this post by the 7th of December to be in the running and you might be the winner of a truly personal gift (and just in time for Christmas too!)

*UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is cerenaleigh as chosen via random.org!
