Wow! I really enjoy to win this geen PikaPackage! Thank you!
I love Genie Espinosa’s work, it’s so adorable!
Pick me, pick me! 😉
I really love what you do here. Keep up the good work!
Wow, beautiful work by everyone but I’m currently enamoured by Katie Green… so cute!
Hi, I visited all the artists and is a difficult task to choose only one.
I liked all for different reasons … all are fantastic.
but since you have to choose only one I’ll choose the “benconservato” .. the originality and genius of his work.
congratulations to you for the initiative.
A big hugs,
yasmin mundaca
I’m in love with katie green’s work!
Really attractive!
I love Edison Rex’s works! They’re cute, simple, and a bit creepy at the same time!
really adoreable giveaway
finger crossed
I love these giveaways…what a source for inspiration. Great work everybody!
I love the innocence and charm of Katie Green’s work – I’ve been coveting a few of Katie’s prints for months now! 🙂 Her drawings definitely put a smile on my face.
What a wonderful idea to bring together these artists around the green approach to life. I have several of Jacqueline Basham’s papercuts, and I have to say I swoon over them every day for their combination of spirituality and connection to nature. Her work goes deep, and it really inspires me.
Katie Green’s work makes me grin and smile. Dragging you into the world of a child.
Have come across the
what i wore’ illustrations earlier. Happy to see more fabulous work from her.
I love katie Green’s stamps! Such gorgeous detail.
I’m pretty keen on Kitty Kilian’s mobile. It grabbed my eye in the first visual pass and then I read her interview & was hooked. Annnnd I just clicked on her blog so I think I’ll let that do the explaining…
kittykilian.blogspot…
hurrah for giveaway! I have been following Katie Green for a while, she is such a nice artist, and she makes kind and delicate illustrations… Love all those veggies with tiny faces 🙂
Tough choice! I love them all but especially jettas nest, Edison Rex and smooth pebble…I have to go for smooth pebble though, the tree ring and intricacy of the paper cutting blows my mind. Wonderful competition, so exciting !!
P.s- one of the links didn’t work for me, couldn’t see any work by genine(?)
thanks for a great zine and comp!
I find it hard to choose. I like Benconservato for his cute monsterfigures, Smooth Pebble i like for the beautiful combination of art and text and i love Katie green just because of her style of drawing.
love mary kate’s work as it’s inspiring (:
I really like Halle Cisco’s work, simple but original! Great giveaway, as usual 🙂
ah paper cuts! I love smooth pebble.
Oh I’d love to win this!
Benconservato! I love how loose and fun his work is. This whole package would be inspiring, though. Fingers crossed!
Loved all of them but my favorite is Genie Espinosa with her playfull and sweet images. The “Satoshi Date 1” is wonderful!
What a wonderful selection of artists! My favourites are Sam of Jetta’s Nest – totally unique designs and beautiful wearable art creations. I also like Emma’s (Benconservato) work – her Monsters Behaving Badly colouring book has been in my favourites list for a long time.
Oooh… they are all so good, and most are my favorites… but, Katie Green is my No. 1 favorite, closely followed by Emma from Benconservato!
wow, this package looks great! katie green is a sweet person and a great illustrator. i also love mary kate mcdevitt’s style. edison rex and kitty kilian’s contributions look awesome too. everyone’s does!
i’m a secret monster lover. so naturally i’m attracted to Benconservato; Emma’s works. love the drawings and colours.
As always, terribly difficult to choose between all these talented artists. I do love Smooth Pebble for the gorgeous papercut silhouettes! So intricate and bold.
Great work!
What a wonderful selection! My favourites are Katie green and Nekocherry 🙂
I’m a huge fan of Smooth Pebble, her photos and paper cuttings are beyond amazing!
I love Katie Green’s painting! 🙂
I would have to say i like genie espinosa the most. I love the subtle colours, the shapes and the entire feel of her artworks. (i cant say I dont like the others…cause i do too!)
hey, there! i love benconservato’s moleskines the most.
I love Benconservato’s monsters! They are crazy, fun and wacky and I’d love to meet some of them in person!!
I like Nekocherry’s work, especially the cat in Edinburgh illustrations.
Oh, I forgot to say that my fave is Katie Green! Thank you!
I don’t know if its fair to choose! But if I had to Katie Green’s style is really nice.
I loved so many of them, but the paper cut-outs of Smooth Pebble just had me by the heart. I am SO in love with “tree ring”. If I ever stop being poor, I will definitely buy it.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the tree ring print by smoothpebble… their work is definitely my favorite!
I love Katie green AND Smooth Pebble – & choosing two was very hard I think choosing one would be impossible!
Smooth Pebble is my favorite. The “Paper anniversary” item is soo cute.
I love Katie Green’s work!
And I love “the green pikapackage”, too 🙂 great idea!
I’ve been a fan of Katie Green for a while and I just LOVE her work, but everyone in this group is so talented! I think I just found a new favourite though, Genie Espinosa! I love the colour and the textures are so fun to look at! But everyone is SO talented! Great group of artists! So glad to find them all!
I fell in love with Bencorservato’s work, I just adore his monsters and the way he paints them! _ Great find!
I love Mary Kate McDevitt’s work, I think it would just look lovely on any wall 🙂
I love Benconservato’s monsters. Not scary at all. 😉
Their works are all so lovely & cute & it’s hard to choose just one of them. All of them are unique in their ways but the one that really caught my eye is Smooth Pebble’s paper cut out! So cute! finger crossed!
I had a hard time choseing a fav. artist. I narrowed it down to three. Edison Rex, I love this style of art, as it’s so different from my own. Genie Espinosa’s illustations are cute, fun and kid-tastic (yep I like making up words too). Katie Green’s art makes me smile, and fascinate me. I could see reading books with her illustations in them to my children.
I am going to have to go with Nekocherry as my favorite because I’m a sucker for a beautifully illustrated, hilarious cat drawing!! But everyone in this list is amazingly talented.
I love the quirkiness of Katie Green’s line drawings because they are very cleanly drawn but a little bit zany. Also, they mostly feature food. So of course I love them.
My favorite artist is Jetta’s Nest. I absolutely love her blog! http://www.jettasnest.com/
Thank you!

wow, what a great giveaway and all the artists do pretty amazing stuff! i like benconservato most, the monsters remind me of the books of my childhood. i also really like nekocherry, the little mermaid is wonderful!
Katie Green is my favourite of your featured artists – I’ve met her in real life and she’s as gorgeous and friendly in person as her illustrations are. Reading her zine “The Green Bean” gives me the most warm, fuzzy feeling, you can’t help but smile 🙂
Cute package, great art work!
Mary Kate McDevitt’s stuff is definitely my favorite- check out all that hand lettering! It’s gorgeous.
ooooo la la! i must admit that i am drawn to both benconservato (for his monsters that are a little scary but have a whimsy too!) and mary kate mcdevitt’s (for her hand drawn lettering and messages) works. thank you pikaland for exposing your readers to this awesome work! XX
MaryKateMcDevitt is my fav! I LOVE her screenprinted posters and LOVE her chalkboards!
crossing my fingers on the drawing!
I absolutely adore Katie Green’s work; my favourite is the Autumn Giclee Print! I met her recently when her table caught my eye at Comica Comiket and I couldn’t resist buying a few of her zines. I read them that night, tucked under a blanket on the sofa with a lovely cup of tea. Life has been confusing recently, to say the least, but reading Katie’s zines made me feel warm and positively inspired…like I was talking to an old friend. Thank you Katie! xx
I’m really diggining benconservato’s work… i love the variety of textures he uses! 🙂
Wow !! The package looks fabulous !!
So much uberness! Loving on Katie Green’s work this morning 🙂 There is something very endearing and whimsical about every line.
Thanks for the chance ^^
There is so much talent among these artists, but I’m partial to Katie Green.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
I LOVE Katie Green and Jettas Nest!
I just saw your tweet so I assume it’s still ok to enter? (sorry I missed it earlier!).
Katie Green is my fave – she seems like such a cute ‘regular’ girl, I love the way she crafts in all different styles (draws, paints, makes toys!) and loves a good cuppa (like me).
