I’m enjoying the flickr stream of James Clapham who just recently graduated from the Cambridge School of Arts with an illustration degree. I’m mesmerized by his hand drawn type and figurative drawings (he often mixes both of them together nicely.)

Wonderful illustrations from the website of Siri Ahmed Backström, who is currently studying at Konstfack (GDI), University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, in Stockholm, Sweden.

My apologies for the lack of posts last week! I was tied up in work and was out of the country for a few days on business + personal matters. But I’m back now, and it’s almost time for the second edition of the Good to Know project — I’m very excited as I sort out the remaining participants thoughts on the next subject at hand!
Here’s to a great beginning to the week!


Wonderfully funny clay pieces by Catherine Reece (the dung beetle plate caught my eye and as I was laughing, I couldn’t help but think that I might not want to use this for eating — my imagination has the propensity to run wild.) You can see more in her Etsy shop.
And the best thing is that her family is all involved in clay too; her 5-year old son Jackson has his own little Etsy shop making little clay items. Talent sure runs in this family!
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!
