The World Seen Through the Postage Stamps of Donald Evans
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
In 1977, not long after I started working with hand-carved rubber stamps and printing with drawing ink, I had the idea to commemorate everyday objects with my own postage stamps. In coming up with this idea I was very much influenced by Claes Oldenberg’s sculptures, such as this one. (Question: how many of you are old enough to remember typewriter erasers? How quaint this is.)

Hello.
I'm Stephen Springer Davis
I'm a pretty much self-taught and pretty much unknown artist and designer living near Philadelphia. The plan is to tell you about my artwork, why I do it, maybe how I do it, and also about other artists who've inspired me along the way.
My definition of the term "painting" will remain intentionally broad so I can talk about anything that interests me.
