Our Voice, Our Stamps: Collaborative Artistry, The Next Step in Intuitive Scripting

By your creativity coach by robyn mcclendon on July 3, 2024

Psst..5 Days Until We Launch!

So in our last discussion we've established where I started…my years spent teaching and establishing printmaking and book making curriculums around the country. My background in anthropology and my mission to bring my concept of ArteoMythology to the forefront of the work I do…now let's talk about where I'm going!

I'm not new to producing products, from stencils to Washi Tape and stamps, I strive to leave my unique mark behind to hopefully be studied many years from now. A common theme in my work is mark making, specifically various forms of scripting. I have been on a mission for many years to quite literally create my own soul language. With this in mind, I'm thrilled to share an exciting new stamp design that I believe will fill a void in the visual vocabulary we have been creating.

…and yes I say we because recently I was reminded as I was reviewing the final edit of the documentary I've been working on, just how much we are a micro civilization. Our work is a collaboration of souls, many of you sent in examples of your beautiful work to share as a tribute to our journey together, for the documentary. I was blown away by the common thread in all of our visual vocabularies. Our work looked like that which would come out of a civilization of people that lived together, communed together, and shared a life together. Unique yet easily identifiable as coming from a common era, period or school of thought.

So as I created this new line of Intuitive Scripting Stamps I imagined how you would be implementing them as a tool to be incorporated into your own creative practice… I Imagined a collaboration of technique amongst our unique modern community. I was inspired by the beloved
process of intuitive scripting that has captivated our community and can now be an integral part of your creative expression. These stamps are designed to help you effortlessly achieve the essence of language as art in your personal work. Like we discussed in the last email…a tool is more than a practical object… they are stepping stones to your own transformation. By incorporating my intuitive scripting techniques, you'll be able to create beautiful, meaningful pieces that resonate with your unique voice.

The Veiled Manuscripts

Many in our community have already experienced the magic of
intuitive scripting. They've found that the stamps in past intuitive scripting collections provide a seamless way to integrate text and imagery, creating art that is both visually stunning and deeply personal. The process of intuitive scripting allows for a spontaneous flow of ideas, transforming
simple materials into complex, meaningful artworks.

As you know, my background as an ArteoMythologist blends art and history,
storytelling, and cultural narratives. By using these stamps, you're tapping into a rich
tradition of artistic exploration. We are not just creating art—we're becoming a part of a
larger story, one that honors the past while innovating for the future.

Collaboration is a powerful tool for self-expression. I've studied the many ways collaboration played a critical part in the success or demise of many cultures. When we combine our creative energies, we open up new possibilities and inspire each other to reach greater heights. These stamps are a perfect medium for this collaborative spirit and aim to push us forward as a collective. They allow me to pass a touch of my artistic journey on to you. As we talked about last time this is how many of the art forms I teach started…"each one teach one" this has always culminated in a unique blend of styles that is entirely your own but infused with whispers from the past.

I invite you to join me in the wonderful and mysterious
world of ArteoMythology. Together, let's explore the transformative power of
intuitive scripting, as a symbol, as a tool for communication and expression, as a distinct and recognizable mark of our creative community. Let's create art that tells stories, art that resonates with our deepest selves, and art that celebrates the beautiful journey of creativity.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible community.
I can't wait to see how you use these stamps to transform your art
and your creative journey.

The stamps are almost ready to launch but I just need one thing from you… in the spirit of collaboration I would love your input on what you would like to see with these stamps.

We have been contemplating one more tweak, now that you've seen the stamps what feature of the stamps must we absolutely keep?

Die cut stamp with individual script words that can be interchangeable to create unique sentences. (Versus one solid block of text)Macro Size Scripted Font Calligraphic/cursive style script Don't change a thing, Keep it all!

Much Love!
