Getting Lost and Found print at Blue Flip Art
Jungle Serenade print at Blue Flip Art
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.

Gemma Correll has designed 50 limited edition posters for Accordian Apparel, with all profits going to Leukaemia Care, an organization that exists to provide vital care and support to all those whose lives are affected by leukaemia, lymphoma and the allied blood disorders, located in the UK.
The posters are A3-sized and printed on glossboard 250 gsm. Right now, the website is a little bare, but the poster by Gemma is worth the click alone. To preorder, send an email to c0nvectuoso@hotmail.com, or go here to read up more.

Spreading the love

Boy With Keyboard, print on wood made by using collaged drawings and paper
Kelly Puissegur runs Retrowhale at Etsy, a shop that’s dedicated to Ace of Hearts, a dog rescue foundation that saves dogs from being euthanized and finds loving homes for them and Heal the Bay. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of her plantable cards will go to the two charities.
Sprouts plantable cards are made from handmade, recycled paper and they are embedded with your choice of basil, chive, or wildflower seeds. Each card comes with planting instructions, an envelope, and is packaged in a 100% biodegradable clear bag. I think it’s a fantastic alternative to greeting cards, especially if the recipient is a green thumb!
Chula
Chula, her first mixed media paining in the Help series aims to help Ace of Hearts. With the sale of each painting, she will donate USD6 to the foundation. Being a dog lover, I can’t help but feel really inspired by the philosophy behind her Etsy shop: charity and eco-consciousness. Although I can’t find much information about her, she runs a blog that’s fairly new, and is part of Etsy for Animals: Artists Helping Animals.
UPDATE:
Chula and the rest of the Help series are all sold out — congrats Kelly! :)
