Piktorama

Anyone hungry yet?
I’m looking at these deliciously sweet illustrations by Amaranta Martinez of Piktorama, an illustrator and designer who hails from Spain, and trying very hard not to munch on something! Grab yourself a limited edition Gocco print of these sinful goodies at her Etsy shop and see more of her work at her website.

Moira Millman
Posted by Amy on Thursday April 15, 2010
Moira Millman has been illustrating for over 15 years now – she started by crafting her illustrations from elaborate 3D collages; and now to hand drawn elements that are put together digitally. She’s based in the UK, and has done lots of work for different clients, ranging from those in the USA to Europe.
She also has a small collection of gocco prints in her Etsy shop (there’s just two at the moment, here’s hoping for more!)

Stay tuned for an artist interview coming up later today!
Sponsor giveaway: Benconservato
Posted by Amy on Tuesday March 9, 2010
Everyone should have a monster to call their own. Mine would be one that’s a little rough around the edges, scruffy looking with a gruff voice, but a big heart (and one with a smile goes a long way too.)
If there ever was a lady who could translate my perfect monster onto paper, that would be Emma Kidd of Benconservato. She’s based in Australia, and is an artist, illustrator, printmaker, and photographer who’s always busy dreaming up and drawing monsters!
She’s giving away a set of Monsters Behaving Badly Colouring Book and a 6-pack of Colour Me Happy Gocco Party Invites to ONE lucky reader if you’ll share with us your favorite monsters (real or imaginary!)
Giveaway ends on 16th March 2010 and the winner will be announced via email!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is stephanie morgan rogers.

Dwell Deep

Lovely illustrations with a retro feel from Sam Wedelich, who sells gocco prints and illustrated wares in her Etsy shop, Dwell Deep. Love her idea of upcycling a basic glass jar and turning it into something that can make you break into a smile — now everyone needs to put their own mug on that jar!

Loving the richly detailed Gocco work of Sollinero, an artist based in Bueno Aires. At first glance I thought they were letterpressed!
{Thanks Yael!}

You know how you can recognize someone’s work instantly because of their style? Maybe it’s because I keep seeing Jen’s work over on her blog and hope for the day when she’ll get that space on Etsy and open up a shop of her own.
That was what she did, by the way, and you can see all sorts of lovely stuff she made in her Etsy shop that’s called hellojenuine.

Leigh Wells
Posted by Amy on Tuesday May 26, 2009
I love Leigh Wells’ gocco print entitled Where I Sit, which was an unpublished illustration she did a few years ago about thought and creativity. (Read about her and Victoria of sfgirlbybay’s fun gocco process here.)
Further prodding led me to her website with more beautiful illustrations accompanied by gorgeous hand-lettering work. She did the cover & various inside page elements for TIME magazine’s Mind & Body Special issue, which I think is rather grand.
