My husband and I own and operate Sideshow Stamps. We've been in business now since 2000, and have loved every minute of it! It's so neat to be able to share our artwork with others and through that, our customers create their own art. I just love seeing what people make with our stamps!

We design all of our rubber stamps with an old fashioned pencil and paper, then ink them like you would a comic book, then scan and reduce them to all fit on one sheet of paper. Then we send that away to our manufacturer, who returns to us a sheet of deep etched rubber. I cut the stamps apart and trim them if the are going to be mounted. Then I place them on sticky sponge cushion and trim that, then stick it to an hourglass shaped mount that my husband has previously cut from a long strip, sanded and varnished. I also hand stamp the image in black on top of the mount. So everything here is lovingly hand made! However, we have the rubber all ready and we mount the stamps over night and ship out your stamps the next day, if possible. Quality rubber stamps and fast shipping is our priority!

We also love to play music, paint, draw, read, knit, cook; my husband writes and illustrates his own underground comic - www.untamedhighway.com, and he is currently also writing a novel.
