Reflections: Chief Seattle
Finished Card Size: 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Fits in A9 envelope; 5.75″ x 8.75″) When I first started thinking about the theme of “Reflections” I immediately came up with the two most common definitions: (1) the giving back of an image or likeness, as in mirrored; and (2) the fixing of the mind on some subject, [...]

Custom Wrapping Paper

Stamping on Photographs – Part II
By: Linda Selymes, Artistic Guide Hi again, dear reader. The first thing I want to do today is fix the little mistake on one of the scenes I already showed you. Here is the one I’m talking about. There’s a little bit of black ink in the upper left corner. I could make a lot worse [...]
Stamping on Photographs – Part I

November Guest Artist – Kevin Nakagawa
The Value of Value by Kevin Nakagawa In my work, I’m always attempting to communicate several things with visual tools.
