40. STAMP Artist Feature #40 – Seb Zar

Hello folks! I know it’s been a while, my apologies. Managing a lot of different tasks in the backend of the business takes it’s toll. But slowly things are taking shape and a better experience is soon to come. I would like to welcome you to our 40th installment into the STAMP Magazine Online Artist Feature Series. It took me a while to catch up with this artist, but I’m sure glad I did. Coming from France this sculptor takes a lot of pride into the process of his work, breathing life into new and challenging experiences. Though this takes a mountain of time, Seb took a second to give us a truly in-depth look into his life and journey as an artist, while leaving nothing to the imagination. It’s all here in our conversation, so enjoy…

36. STAMP Artist Feature #36 – Anita Kunz

When you think of being at the top of your game the words passion, desire, will, and acknowledgement come to mind. For this artist, she has taken these words and embedded it in your DNA. Her illustrious career is one in which we dream about. Anita Kunz has already etched her place in the Illustration Hall of Fame, but also receives honors that no artists even thinks about.

Others would include several gold medals by the Society of Illustrators, gallery shows in some of the world’s most prestigious museums, having her work become permanent collections in the Library of Congress while also becoming the first woman to have a solo there.

Visitors of STAMP, I would like to introduce our next feature artist. Unlike most artists, John came into art from the outside looking in. Meaning, he studied art history, mainly the language of art, and not the application of paints and canvases. Which to me, gave him a better understanding of the craft to translate the imagination and understand the psychology of the visual depiction. Enough with the small talk, join in on the conversation…..
