New hand-carved rubber stamps

Well, I haven't really done anything creative for a while. It's been even longer since I have posted something. But I was finally inspired to sit down today and carve a few new stamps. Some were experiments.

The gears were inspired by the work at Comfortable Shoes Studio one of which was created using a gear-shaped mask.

I like the idea of stamps that can be used to create repeating patterns or overlapped for cool effects.

The last one I've been wanting to do for a while - a Wii remote to go with the classic Atari 2600 joystick I created a while back.

Moonlight Chronicles on Etsy

Hey, d.Price is now listing the moonlight chronicles on etsy. If you have forgotten how to write and mail a letter, this is next easiest way to get your hands on one of these beauties.



For a limited time only I'm offering up a free issue (issue 54 or 56) of the Moonlight Chronicles from my own personal stash to anyone that links to the Moonlight Chronicles on etsy (while supplies last). Comment here with a link to the link. I'll contact you for your address.

Well I haven't gotten around to creating a second zine yet...and may never get to it. However, after reading this post by Roz Stendahl I decided to send in a copy of my "Construction Equipment Guide Zine". Here's more from the process along the way.

I haven't found, er, uh, I mean MADE time to draw much lately. Most aren't flickr/blog worthy anyway. I drew this from a picture on the cover of my son's Ranger Rick magazine. Frogs are cool.

Its a little unfinished. Partly because that's how I like, partly because that's how the picture was cropped, and partly because that was about the time my daughter stumbled out of the tree fort. Not to worry. She's young and limber and the place where she fell was only a few feet off the ground.

It has been a WHILE! Yes, after being unemployed for 6 weeks I ruptured my Achilles tendon, then got a job offer. Three weeks on the job...all with a cast a crutches. So I've been on a drawing hiatus.

This is an idea I had for an entry in the moly_x_60 exchange. Just testing it out. It turned out a lot better than I thought.

What do you think?
