In the interest of conservative scrolling and reduced boredom, I have decided to omit the bulk of past newsletter content and leave you with the fun links! September 2001, stopped doing links June 2001, no links
And now presenting: The past's Highly Subjective Website Listings. Each month I shared with you a few of the more interesting places I visited on the web. Most are not stamp related, as I'm assuming you all know places with a gazillion stamping links; these sites are an adventure. All will open in a new window so when you're done you are right back here!
Artist's pages seemed to fill my month of surfing again, so here's a sampling: 1. Kevin Nakagawa. Kevin is the owner of Stampscapes, a rubber stamp company located in California. His collection of images, which he personally draws, are wonderful landscape stamps that work seamlessly together. I have always loved his images and last year we traded some rubber. A few weeks ago Kevin emailed me this link to show me what he'd been up to with the stamps I'd sent him. I was blown away! Our images worked wonderfully together and I'm excited to share this very cool stamped "story" with you. 2. Bradford Brenner. An accomplished painter living in San Diego, CA, Bradford's work was great fun to view on his well laid out website. Work was divided into subject categories, my favorite being "contemporary", and I was impressed with the number of works represented within each category. His use of paints tactile quality engaged me, particularly in viewing his portraits, in which the paint itself seemed to create the emotions of the sitter. 3. Michael Bullas. This site is wonderful! Those who like mixed media will especially enjoy the egg series. Viewing the artists sketchbooks was an interesting way for him to let the viewer in on his world a bit more. I really liked the archives section for the overview it gave. Michael's use of the diptych to explore seemingly unrelated subjects works well and the visual use of space that the rigid line creates is an interesting element of the work. 4. |
