In its original conception, the comic was going to be illustrated by hand carved stamps (I worked for a JA owned rubber stamp company through all of college and a bit beyond). I quickly realized it was too time-consuming for a weekly comic, but I love stamp carving to this day. #comic #comics #astampinthehandcompany #astampinthehand #erasercarving #theoriginalrubberstampconvention #katokamoto #rafushimpo (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Yfi22g_-Y/?igshid=j0qz6cuo6b7

I also snuck out to the "annex" (my studio in exile) this afternoon to get some pics of my favorite handmade eraser stamps, which I'd promised Melissa @littledorispress ⁣ ⁣ These go back to the 90s probably, before digital clip art, when the Rubberstamp Madness reigned! ⁣ ⁣ In fact I helped Leavenworth Jackson get her stamps online in 1994 or 95, the very first artist's (or any?) rubberstamp website! She is still there! Ljackson.com check it! ⁣ ⁣ The goose and the bear I'm very fond of, as much as anything because I actually drew them from my own studies. I still have this evil devil on my shoulder that tells me I don't really know how to draw. So I wonder how I managed to produce these guys? ⁣ ⁣ The goose is from sketches I did during visits to Barcelona in the mid 1990s (I fell in love there at the 1994 ATypI conference ❤️:-) And somehow just kept going back! ⁣ ⁣ Other typographic and astrological symbols from the same era... ⁣ ⁣ The most recent piece is the flourished M, designed and cut for my mother's 90th birthday in Dec 2017. ⁣ ⁣ I need to be doing more of this! ⁣ ⁣ #reliefprinting ⁣ #rubberstamps ⁣ #erasercarving ⁣ #worldssmallestfreepress⁣ ⁣ #art⁣⁣⁣⁣ #brushlettering⁣⁣⁣⁣ #brushmind⁣⁣⁣⁣ #brushwork⁣⁣⁣⁣ #calligraphy⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #calligraphymasters⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #contemplative⁣⁣⁣⁣ #design⁣⁣⁣⁣ #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern⁣⁣⁣⁣ #handlettering⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #handwriting⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #interiordesign⁣⁣⁣⁣ #italic⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #lettering⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #MakeAMindfulMark⁣⁣ #mindfulness⁣⁣ #mindfulplay⁣⁣ #poet⁣⁣⁣⁣ #poetry⁣⁣⁣⁣ #shodo⁣⁣⁣⁣ #shodoartwork⁣⁣⁣⁣ #shufa⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #wash⁣⁣⁣i⁣ #zen⁣⁣⁣⁣ #書法⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #書道⁣ (at Washburn, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LjOnJjJ5l/?igshid=pu1tt765qzkv

Happy #stampcarving Sunday. I had carved the top half of this little Rhino years ago. I decided he needed some things to move around in. #erasercarving #eraserstamp #tvmpage #Rhino #rhinoceros #ZettiYetis #Zettiology #ZettiBots https://www.instagram.com/p/B0d-0bTgww9/?igshid=11cmaiwpngnry

One hairy dude. Four faces. I'm ridiculously addicted to #stampcarving . It's is just so relaxing, especially when you really don't care a whole lot about the results. Oh, and on one of the pics, I carved some cherry tomatoes for @teeshamoore #erasercarving #ZettiYetis #handcarved #tvmpage #Zettiology #Zetti #ZettiGalaxy #stampcarving #Bigfoot #Sasquatch https://www.instagram.com/p/BzlbWXhge2j/?igshid=l1qglogcs8z1
