I really enjoy making stamps and painting with Uni Posca markers and watercolors. I use a carving tool, a rubber stamp block, ink pads, and mixed media paper for stamp making, and uni posca markers and watercolors for painting.
Where do you find inspiration?I just make art a part of my routine. It's something I do everyday, without judgement ,and for total enjoyment.
