Thumbtack Press is an online art community that exposes art enthusiasts to unique, affordable art – in all a total of 100 or so of the world’s edgiest illustrators and fine artists from around the world.
Soon though, Thumbtack Press will be given a new lease on life by its new owner, Barry Friedland, with new artists and a new website to boot; set to launch in June. Many of the original Thumbtack Press artists are continuing their journey with Barry, and along with them too are a bevy of new artists that are personally picked and curated by Barry himself that will be added continually to the site. And unlike other sites that just sell art, the new Thumbtack Press will become an online art enclave that exists to create a community of like-minded art enthusiasts.
To celebrate, Barry is giving ONE lucky Pikaland reader a chance to score a framed piece of art from any artists from Thumbtack Press!
To be in the running: go to their site, find the one print you just cant live without, and post it here in our comments section. The winner will be announced here and on their Facebook page on May 3rd at 3:00 CST.
UPDATE: Congratulations to Chelsea, winner of our Pikaland Giveaway, who chose Lilly Piri’s “Matches” print! See Thumbtack Press’ Facebook Page for more info!
It’s almost impossible to pick only one favorite! But ok, I’ll try… 🙂
I fell in love with Kate Pugsley’s work and if I must pick a print it will be the Mermaid Gold:

The First Rain of Summer by Masayoshi Mizuho (http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/product_info.php?cPath=71&products_id=1115) is my favorite…after looking forever, too many to choose from!
The colors and mood goes perfect for the bedroom I plan to start creating when I move into my first town home! The roomies would be jealous!

First, awesome! Love finding new art communities! Super excited about this.
I think that Pistachio Ice Cream by Vanessa Tam is breathtaking.
(http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/product_info.php?cPath=115&products_id=958)
Kudos to Megan Kissman for thinking the print is awesome as well.
A Tree With Roots by Matthew Woodson is pretty much amazing as well.(http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/product_info.php?cPath=99&products_id=1098)
Thumbtack Press is already sweet, but I look forward to seeing the rebirth in June!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway.

It’s so hard to choose with so many lovely prints in their collection… I’m going to go with Kuma Dansu by Gianluca Folì.
YES! Another FABULOUS site to bookmark!
I’m in love with BOB DOB’s work.
“Early Bird Gets the Worm” is my choice but “Horror Hotel” is also quite wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this site.

Ooh, very difficult! Kate Pugsley’s Fish Ride miiight be my favourite…
If it’s only one, then I’d go for Silent Whistle by Ruel Pascual. I like the overall feel and composition. It’s simple yet if feels complete as a whole. Nice! When Monkeys Rule by Paul Barnes’s Monkey is just too adorable. I smiled looking at it…haha.^^
Journey by Pascal Campion is too cute to pass up!! I would love this for our nursery someday…
‘Rise of the giant panda’ thats me! im a panda!! 😀 by Paul Barnes
In From The Wilderness by Paul Blow is wonderful!
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…

So many of these are amazing – it’s hard to choose just one! (But.) I love the detail and color of Christopher Umana’s “Punto de Coyuntura.” So perfect!
“silent whistle” from ruel pascual!
theres is so many beautiful posters !! i liked Ensayo by Hernan Paganini
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
After much deliberation, I settled on Monster 11 by Kimiaki Yaegashi. Cute and creepy – the perfect combo.
love this print! it was hard, there are so many to choose from!
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Nice giveaway.
I choose Mistaken Identity by Ken Wong
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Difficult… Peacock by Heiko Windisch
SIMPLICITY by Nick Dewar

Oh, what a marvelous Giveaway!
I have always LOVED Kate Pugsley’s work…the colours she used are wonderful.
My favourite piece is The Boy on the Horse. Our youngest daughter is obsessed with horses and thought she would LOVE this as a birthday gift in June.

fell in love with this one right away! http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Anything by Kate Pugsley. But I would choose Flower Girl.
I absolutely can not live without ‘Sweetcorn’ by Lilly Piri because I’m a crazy-cat-lover-lady and also a fan of Lilly’s work <3
Thanks for this giveaway!
This was tough!
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Peacock by Heiko Windish is one I just can’t live without though. It’s so lovelyy!
Has to be This is What Happened at the Beach II by Sabrina Tibourti
I love the illustration…..‘Sirius’ by Lilly Piri
The colours are so beautiful which is what first attracted me to Lilly’s work. I like this illustration (mentioned above) because I recently got involved with a project called ‘Colour me Totem’ run by the team inkygoodness. It has got me in the mood for more native American influenced art, which this illustration really portrays.
I love: Winter Wonderland by Sarajo Frieden (http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/product_info.php?products_id=397&osCsid=dv7gbp26j7clvm2u57eti5cad0)
Definitely couldn’t live without Amsterdam by Matt Mills!
I need it. Colin Johnson » Flotsam & Jetsam LIMITED EDITION
I adore this one!

For sure Secret Garden by Luis Melo:
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Oooh, this one please – Acta Non Verba by Adam S. Doyle
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Lot of beautiful artists! I’ve choosen this print:
“After the Rain” by Ken Wong
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
This by Luis Melo (Waterfall City) would look so good IRL I think.
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
Bon Voyage Birds by Robert A. Goldberg is my fave — but it’s so hard to pick just one! 🙂
What a wonderful art site! I’ve started a thing with my darling niece where I purchase a print for her every birthday (it will be her fourth at the end of july). I plan to give them to her on her 18th birthday if I feel she’s ready and then continue to add to her collection after that.
I found the perfect fourth year print on Thumbtack Press. The Suitcase print by Lilly Piri.
http://www.thumbtackpress.c…
I hope to purchase that for her, or better yet I could win it since I’m making next to nothing my first year out of school…
Oooo…I don’t think I could actually live without ‘The Stragglers’ by Dave Pressler. Nope, I don’t think I can…due to this I really hope i win otherwise things could be bad.
Nest by Gina Triplett…love it!!!
OOh that IS a toughy, but I want them all!
Just what I need to spruce up these plain walls:
Fishlamp by Sarajo Frieden
Pretty pleeeeease with a cherry on top!
Giraffe Planet by Heiko Windisch is screamingly cool! Thanks!
I’m in love with the COMA set!!!! Letters are the most beautiful things on the planet….especially C and A, my daughter’s initials!!! Thank you for this giveaway!!!!
Lucia
Oh how I adore Wilson Hsu’s “Nightbird”! The cool colors, the dystopian whimsy! Funny and slightly sinister at the same time—I hope I win it but even if I don’t, it will be mine!
so many great pieces to choose from! i’m really loving “passageway house”.
This one makes my heart go funny… tinyurl.com/3db5os6
I’d love to have Red Shoes by Shino Arihara
$29.99. So hard to pick one, they are all so grand!!!
