Amy Ng
Amy is a former architecture + design magazine editor who always thought her hands were a little out of control. So she remedied it by dabbling in illustration; participating in Illustration Friday, hanging out with her Gocco machine and started Pikaland in February 2008. Drawing has since taken a back seat to managing projects and blogging, and now instead of hanging out with the gocco printer, she mingles with peeps all over the world who shares the same love for illustration and art as she does!

Racheal Anilyse
Racheal Anilyse is an illustrator, graphic designer, and publisher from Connecticut, USA. She uses tea to drink and paint with [sometimes simultaniously but from different mugs] and she has a love for hand drawn letters. As a visual communicator, she likes to have fun with words visually and grammatically. All of it stems from her own form of language, the only true lexicon she knows how to communicate with. Her form of communication is delivered in two forms, through a soft but layered and textured pencil work and through a form of clean linear lines. She will be posting about hand-drawn typography and art that has to do with tea and coffee stains on Pikaland!
