I’ve blogged about Lee Crutchley before and now, it’s very necessary to do so again. Lee has created a limited edition of Moleskine Cahier Sketchbooks with fantastic Regina Spektor lyrics on the front cover. Check it out via his Quoteskine site.

Okay, I think I got carried away a little and entered the blog into the Homies Award 2009, sponsored by Apartment Therapy. It’s an award for best home design blogs, so I was rationalizing to myself that Pikaland does throw up some ideas in that department, even if just a tiny bit (say, how about decorating the walls with illustrated goodies? Isn’t that better? WHY YES!)

One of these days I think I might just slap the side of my head and say “what the heck was I thinking?”, but then again, I know that it’s all in good fun. If that reason sits well with you, then how about humoring me and cast a vote for Pikaland?

p/s: Here’s my list of lovely blogs that I think should win too, in case you’d like to know.

I’m not due back blogging until next Monday, but I just wanted to pop in and mention the wonderful work that Julie Annis has been doing for the indie band Camera Obscura from Glasgow, Scotland (I think she did the illustrations for their website as well). The one featured here is the band’s latest single that came out early December, and you can see more on her portfolio page.
