Hassak Rubber Stamp

Call me a nerd: I'm a fan of mathematical signs, symbols, and drawings. (Though I sucked at calculus in high school AND college.) So naturally I was in awe of artist Tomoko Kataoka's stamps called "After Rain Arithmetics" (above). She has an art business called Hassak Rubber Stamp where she hand carves fine lines and incredible details in rubber stamps. I just can't stop looking at her work! [Discovered via PingMag.]


meg, this work is amazing - thanks for this post!

Hi Meg!
I just read your book Craft inc. and I LOVED IT. If gives you a good sense of the overall process. The only problem that I had with my book is that it came with a printing or assembling error and it didn't bring the first 17 pages! Weird! Also, I would have loved if you'd had developed a little more the Business Plan and the Financial Plan section. I also think you have a great vocabulary, I learned a couple of new words! I'm on the verge of creating my first inc., so I'm very grateful that I bumped into your book. Virginia.
