Annette Lauder of Nut and Bee has a fantastic idea with her website — you pick your favourite characters, which in turn will be made into various products such as rubber stamps, notepads, lettersets, prints and many more. I was a fan when I found out about her a year ago, and was elated when she was keen on participating in the PikaPackage Project.
She sent in lovely prints of her famous animals, and various notepads — all of which are simply adorable!
Andrea Kobayashi is an Australian artist living in Saitama, Japan, where she produces mixed media art for sale at her Etsy shop. She also stocks quality Japanese art and craft supplies from local makers in her support of their art.
For the July edition of PikaPackage, she contributed cards, mini art hangings and paintings on handmade paper.
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.
