Custom e-Stamps!

July 2, 2008 · 2 Comments

Upon corresponding (via e-mail) with Walter Logeman about featuring him on my
blog he requested if I could make him a web-eStamp from one of his
pieces, preferably a circle piece. I went and reviewed the 1000 Sketches! to see the circles:

There’s a Thousand Sketches Video for easy viewing of the sketches! click here…

she had to come on in and take her place on this blog.

New Z-Land…

Walter Logeman is a "TOTAL" web find all the way from New Zealand!
I came across him through a "Yahoo group" that troubleshoots cutting-edge digital printing issues, with an excellent product called InkAid. I’ve used it extensively.

He is a certified Psychotherapist.
Psychotherapy comes from the Greek words for "soul" and "attending".

It describes well the work he does: "attending the soul"
He had attended my work by featuring me on his blog,
with my Mud Pie II web-eStamp. Thank you, Walter!

His work intrigued and fascinated me. He had done a "Thousand Sketches!"  a self-challenge project he began in the spring of 2006 and completed in the spring of 2007! 1000 sketches done on a "PC Tablet"  and then posted them on a blog. He recorded his learning process about art & artists and his visits to galleries in Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.A.

Walter considers the circle a symbol of fertility and solidity,
as a child he had an obsession of drawing "thousands" of yellow circles.
Could it be trying to create drops of "SUN" light?

Please go and see his work at: www.walterlogeman.com

Also, return here tomorrow and see what I designed for him …a few custom Web-eStamps!

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
