Rubber Stamp Art

I just visited the Andy Warhol museum, and I am truly amazed at his creative ability. Of course I had seen his art before on TV and in print, but seeing it in person is so much better. A lot of people claim they don't like his stuff, or that he is not really an artist, but there is nothing further from the truth. He came from an illustration and graphic art background, and that is the basis of his art. Because of my publication background, I particularly like it. I don't think he used custom rubber stamps in his art, but I could see getting some neat stamps and creating art by stamping things all over a box or a canvas. It is amazing how being around a creative person or a creative person's work can bring out the creativity in you.
