• I recieved my first mail from Cuba today! It came out of the blue and i was hoping someone else new something about or has corresponded with Rosendo? I am not familiar with him at all. Beautiful work!…

My son Jackson and i started our monster collaboration about a year ago. Jackson doing the drawings, me turning them into stamps. We made some posters from them but ultimately we talked about making shirts with them. The shirts arrived a few days ago, he was THRILLED!…

Decided to make my own game and pay Homage to Catherine M. Bennett and John Bennett at the same time. First pick is what it started out as.…

I have started to experiment with a process new to me where I scan miscellaneous scraps directly onto my printer scanner. I then go at them with white-out, removing areas I dislike.  Then i repeat the process, scan, white-out and so on until it feels finished. For now i have decided to use this process to make mail art portraits with the intent of turning them into artistamps. So far I have completed Crackerjack Kid, Serse Luigetti, C. Mehrl Bennett, Jenny Hinchcliff, Carmen Kennedy, Picasso…

My son Jackson and I have finished up our newest collaboration! I asked him what he would like to do next and he immediately said he would like to draw  robots. When looking at his drawings, I found myself thinking about these 1980's rubber stamp sets i have been looking at on ebay where you have all different cartoon parts or animal parts and you create your own "creature". I decided to separate all his bots and the final outcome was 14 robots and 42 individually carved stamps. I made boxes…

During this time of social distancing and quarantine I have been looking for more projects to keep myself busy. My son Jackson who is 11 years old has been spending substantially more time drawing. I walked into is room a week back and saw these fantastic monster drawings he was doing on post it notes.  I snatched one unbeknown to him and decided to turn it into a rubber stamp. I was THRILLED with the result! I showed him and he was so excited, asking, if I keep drawing monsters, will you…

What a amazing surprise in the mail today! I …

1. I came across a sheet of 4x5 negatives that I had done in college. On the sleeve I had written "Random MCAD 2002". That same day I had recieved a letter from Steve Random, and while piecing together my response i decided to include the sheet of negatives I had come across because I found it amusing that they said "random", i added a old library slip and sent it. This is the outcome. We each had it twice and I am thrilled with the results. The pics are kinda crappy, bit negatives suck…

I came across a old teacher's rubber stamp that when new said "good work" With time and I imagine a lot of use (at least I hope a lot of use, haha) It is in pretty rough condition now. When i pressed it for the first time, to my surprise it seemed to read "good world" with a smiley face that seems to be deteriorating. If you've seen my samps before, you know I can get political with them. Not intending to go in that direction with this, It sure feels incredibly prevalent, and though it may…
