3 Favorite Stamps


1.) Tattooed Girl- I really like the style of this stamp due to it's muted colors and earthy feel. Everything is very soft and sketchy, yet defined. There is a lot of perspective with the beach in the background and although she is centered, there is still a lot of visual interest to keep the eye moving around her. Plus, I love tattoos.

2.) Scralet Kingsnake- I love the simplicity of this stamp. The white background is all negative space and accentuates the snake itself to make it the focal point. The color of the snake's scales make it pop and are very bold. The shadows make it look realistic even though it is not a photograph and it has a lot of personality.

3.) Alien Bird People- This is my favorite stamp so far!! the color intereaction is definately impressive and the layout is very unique. The creatures themselves are not extremely detailed but are in the foreground and catch your attention first. The scene in the background is quite intruiging as well with the floating city vs the one on the home planet. It is mentally stimulating and it caught my attention immediately over other designs.
