Custom Stamp and Work In Progress

So I decided to make a stamp in order to give some white paper bags a custom touch. The above was the first stamp I made. This material was something I've never worked with and is extremely easy to carve. In fact it's almost too easy to cut so I had to be careful not to press to hard. There's a few mistakes in this one so I decided to do a second version. I don't have pictures of that one but it came out much, much better and was perfect for stamping the bags.

With ArtCrawl Houston 2015 right around the corner, I've been spending some extra time in the studio. Below are a few things that I've been working on. The landscape painting was an experimental piece, since it's not something I typically create, but it turned out to be a great learning experience. The magnolia painting is a current work in progress on my easel. I better get to it. :)
