Another flag book. This time trying it out with an old photo I had sitting around. Perhaps a bit less successful than the other ones I have done.

I've been wanting to try out this form of a flag book for awhile. Finally sat down and made one.

Styrofoam reduction block print. My first time doing this with styrofoam as well as the first time doing this process with three colors. It wasn't until I started to print the red and blue that I realized it wasn't printmaking ink but plain acrylic (it dries out a lot quicker).

*Early heads up that issue 100 will be a themed issue - draw a face with rubber stamps (using different stamps to make a face) *

Issue 95 of my mail art assembling zine The Rubber Postcard is in the mail. Submissions are open for issue 96.

(Please remember that submissions are for rubber stamp work only.

I've let a few exceptions in here and there but the rule still applies.)

Submission Guidelines:

Postcard size work: 4x6 inches (10.16x15.24 centimeters)

Rubber stamp/eraser/found stamp work only. A small amount of drawing or coloring in is ok but not excessively so. No collage please(there are plenty of other zines for that kind of work). 13 multiples or individual pieces signed and numbered. Only original hand stamped work please(no photocopies). There is no theme.

Deadline: Ongoing(issues will be sent out as enough work arrives to be collated).

Message me for the address if you need it
