First off: yes, I know that you can mail order just about any arbitrary stamp design... but where would the fun be in that? :)
The stamp was an idea that I had when I walked through the isles of my art supply store and came across some blanks and cutting tools... I wondered, if there was any use for stamps these days and randomly compared them to stickers in chat application - and that's when it hit me: why not turn a fun sticker into a stamp?
I like how the linoleum behaves with the sharp carving tools: I find it very easy to make clean and straight cuts... keeping them exactly on the line is what needs practice. Also: I need to find a better way of transferring the sketch to the linoleum... Larger or more elaborate pieces would not work the way I did it here.
To round off the story, I did scan a stamped piece of paper and converted that into a sticker for Telegram... Besides the animated ones, this must be one of the most work intensive stickers around :)
