Anyone who writes “I am one of those weirdos who can almost cry in front of a nice font or a well designed poster” is someone I’d really like to get to know. So please become acquainted with Montreal based illustrator and graphic designer Carolina Espinosa. Her blog showcases her remarkable process of collaging images, prints, pen, and paint. I’ve only introduced you to a few sketchbook pieces, so imagine what getting to know more of her work would be like!
Hello there and I hope you’re having a great start to the week!
We just launched the FOURTH issue of Good to Know with a topic on goals & success!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
What goals have you set for your business? How do you measure success? How do you celebrate your successes?
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
And to celebrate, we’re holding a giveaway where 2 random winners will win a copy of the zine when they leave a comment at the blog: http://pikaland.com/2009/08/18/good-to-know-4-launch-giveaway. We’d love it if you could come along and spread the word! (You can purchase the issue in PDF or hardcopy directly from that page as well!)
We also just set up an option for a PDF subscription among other options for getting your fix, which you can see over here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5398864§ion_id=6165686 (yay!)
Of course, the blog is looking lively with our summer giveaways as well, so tune in for lots more coming your way!
p/s — To avoid information overload, I’ll send a separate email about submissions for the fifth issue of the Good to Know zine in a few days. (you’ll want to chime in your thoughts on this one — it’s about whether you need a degree to be an artist!) 😉
Warmest,

Amy
Thank you so much for coming along for the Good to Know project!
As a token of appreciation, you can download the PDF copy of the zine above for free, and if you’d like to have a copy to keep, we’ll send it to you for just USD$4.00 (I’ve tried to see if I could afford to send it to everyone for free, but I don’t think that’s possible — so this price will cover the minimum shipping + misc fees!)
I would love it if you would love to participate again in the next issue! The topic for the FIFTH issue is below, and you can email me with your reply anytime before the 2nd of September:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Do you think that artists need to have degrees/qualifications from art school in order to be one? Did you study art? Does it matter?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Big hugs,
