For this I used the ImpressArt's proprietary Alkeme blanks. Any time my stamping was too far off I would start over. The difficulty that came when moving forward was making sure the pieces would cut and bend properly. Alkeme seems to separate and/or crack if bent too much or can have issues with end cuts. Getting it done in the right order and knowing the limitations takes a fair amount of trial and error. The right side shows the beginning of the mantra charms. Stamping with a 1.5mm font can be rather tricky so using the guide stickers was very important and needed to be done first. From there if it was too off center or the holes punched were too close to the side I would start over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1720620926241-LW3OB73WY7EWK7VODIV7/Screen+Shot+2024-07-10+at+9.14.58+AM.png ImpressArt Inspirational Quote Contest Grand Prize Winner - Mantra charms I've learned that the preparation work in most things is critical to success and metal stamping is no different. These photos show the exact layout I was going for and the ideal way for the charms to work. One disc makes three charms if you make no errors. Which of course, I made errors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1720720362639-X2EOUDECY2UPMMQD0NE6/NecklaceProcessComparison.png ImpressArt Inspirational Quote Contest Grand Prize Winner - Necklace Evolution Working through the layout and elements until it all came together. You never know how it will all work out until you start putting it together. Some elements work, and others need to be reworked. The process keeps going until you get to a point you are happy with. In this case, the plain chain was just not working for me neither aesthetically nor physically. Finding that I needed a larger back half of the necklace to help with how the stamped pieces would lay was crucial. From there other elements were added and subtracted until all the problems were worked out and the look was cohesive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1720726571905-Z2021Y6YU4NNVV3BAOWI/Screen+Shot+2024-07-11+at+2.33.04+PM.png ImpressArt Inspirational Quote Contest Grand Prize Winner - Earring and Dangle Evolution. The earrings were actually the first pieces I made. I wanted to test out how to make the findings that would hold the lava rocks and then also general way the pieces would hang and fit together. After wearing them, taking note of how the construction moved while in use, and then also making them for the necklace, I was able to improve their design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1720809397552-XHQA72PC2PW2EMNYR5MA/Screen+Shot+2024-07-12+at+1.36.17+PM.png ImpressArt Inspirational Quote Contest Grand Prize Winner - Full Artist Statement https://www.shelbysawyer.com/new-project-3 daily 0.75 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1721932036618-OPJZ6MPKE8951CWYZA1R/image-asset.jpg Little Live Pets Rainglow Unicorn Vet Ideation, prototyping, and system mapping, for the toy as a whole.

The card was printed on a gloss photo paper which can crack when heated too quickly. To heat embossing powder onto the gloss it can take several attempts to get it so that the paper does not crack. Glow in the dark stars were placed after all embossing was complete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1727060460747-313046N0MT1X8QX05LLR/Screen+Shot+2024-09-22+at+9.59.55+PM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Embossing powder on matte photo paper. To achieve the precise lines, the glue was drawn on and powder added in stages. All was heat embossed together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726933383577-7HZ30PU4KR6OLBPCNRWG/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+9.26.01+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Hand foiled with heat foil pen. Each color was drawn on, the difficulty was making sure it aligned. Because the foil covers the area you are working on, the exact placement on the final product is a bit of a guess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726934456318-11Z1CJHKH5FKY2899HHW/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+9.32.48+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Extensive hand drawn glue lines for heat embossing. This was done in stages to apply the powder as the glue dries faster than being able to draw all of those lines. Then the powder is cleaned up and all heat set together. I opted for the matte photo paper as this had a very high likelihood of cracking if done on gloss and the time it took to just draw the lines out weighed the worth of the risk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1727021246927-K2JI3H161A8L7FYD7T2A/Screen+Shot+2024-09-22+at+11.07.14+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Three different heat emboss powders here: Silver, Gold, and Clear. Each were hand drawn glue and done in stages for powder application to prevent cross contamination. Then everything was set together. The red lettering was gone over in a metallic gel pen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726936144147-0ZFEQQN9UFVRPVPFO633/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+11.28.15+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards This one took a lot of experimenting. The alcohol dye effect is very difficult to get on photo paper as photo paper is emulsion based and wants to soak in ink. Making sure I was able to protect the subject or remove ink in that area was a challenge. Finally landed on doing a refractor sticker paper over the photo which provided the non-porous surface perfect for alcohol ink and allowed me to remove the ink on the subject. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726937243007-FLX3UL3GNFNUPMSJT8Y6/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+11.47.04+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards A more simple design. I wanted to really evoke the spirit of a cheesy family vacation to the Wisconsin Dells and make sure the graphics were simple and bold as if this was a souvenir photo bought there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1727103966086-AQ73GWDCN88V5EOIED6Z/Screen+Shot+2024-09-23+at+10.05.41+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards I had so much fun with this one. Really playing on the comic book visuals from the Adam West Batman show. I opted for two versions. One in which I pulled and vectorized the onomatopoeia famous in the comics and show and just added it to the card. This however feels very crowded and opted for the surprise version. You get to see the subject a bit better but when you interact with it with the black light you get the real POP of those words giving the unexpectant viewer the same feeling of having the words pop up on the screen during the show but with the added benefit of having done the action that triggered it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1727018001666-RTMXH6EJ99IA8C5DM115/Screen+Shot+2024-09-22+at+10.12.37+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Very inspired by the 90s graphic layouts and the various holographic elements that became all the rage. This was the perfect cringy photo complete with shirt tucked into long shorts and the silly pose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726934903400-U3C516T8WRSORD4G7SYO/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+11.07.33+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Another vacation card that I wanted to really evoke the specific location of and make it feel like a souvenir card. In this instance the original photo had a background stranger in a weird position- perfect for Merlin to be added! And of course you can't leave out Archimedes who wonderfully balances Merlin. This also was inspired by the newer photos Disney added with Photopass packages where surprise characters can be edited in. Hand foiled elements. To get the placement of these lines I had to build a small jig. As stated above with the Happy Holidays card, when hand foiling, the foil covers the image and where you are drawing and if it lines up becomes a guess. It took a few attempts to get just right . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1727061166580-MD47ZKOTUCXLVDDHQHGA/Screen+Shot+2024-09-22+at+10.12.28+PM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards This family photo was a bit of a struggle to figure out the best way to present it. I wanted to juxtapose the sweet family New Year with the Y2K panic and imagery. Finally landed on taking the headlines directly from Weekly World News. Playing with context is a very interesting thing especially when talking to people that don't remember or were not born during the hype surrounding the turn of the century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726936477252-FX70RZH50OOUCYKG2FJS/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+11.34.18+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Utilizing school colors and mascots, I wanted to invoke the feeling that this was from a series of graduation cards. Making it feel like this could have been what you could have purchased at the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726936854749-HYZPQY659T5B48RYMX14/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+11.39.34+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Utilizing school colors and mascots, I wanted to invoke the feeling that this was from a series of graduation cards.

Making it an unlockable achievement as if this could have been a still shot or cut scene. Added bonus to get to use the refractor overlay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1726933397419-N3IPYG667FIEKT5KICRN/Screen+Shot+2024-09-21+at+10.35.05+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards For this layout it felt like the glossy photo paper was necessary to the overall look which led to a few difficulties. To protect the areas that were to not be embossed (name and also Cubs logo) I applied heat resistant tape. This of course would never have come off the matte paper. Over that I used the glue pen to create the texture and apply the powder. Setting that powder too several attempts - I have a pile of failed cards where the paper bubbled and cracked beyond acceptability. In the end one small crack at the top was the best I could produce given the timeline. Through experimentation, I found that removing the tape that had embossing powder on it after the setting process was the best way to proceed as it helped protect the paper. Removing it before setting added to the stress while heating it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1727020541982-PCGNLS8BH8AYQ3N3M54I/Screen+Shot+2024-09-22+at+10.54.46+AM.png Family Photos Collectible Cards Creating a layout that felt like it could have been a purchasable card at the even was a lot of fun for a branded event. Because I wanted the subjects to stand out and not be included in the refractor portion, I opted to cut them out, color the edges of the paper and apply them on top of the card. Optimally for mass produced cards this would all be on one sheet and the subjects would be masked from the refractor but for a one-off intricate image this is the most efficient way to go for a more precise look. I did consider cutting the refractor sheet but the likelihood of that matching perfectly and applying perfectly were too low for the timeline of the project. https://www.shelbysawyer.com/impressarthalloweenstampingcontest daily 0.75 2024-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729526661160-ACQ30PKFYZ14B09G7UAY/SkullMask.jpg ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729526661160-ACQ30PKFYZ14B09G7UAY/SkullMask.jpg ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729530200220-03AAJWABJXU1NBZ69PZ7/ProgressShots1.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner Progress photos showing the process of making the mask and how I worked on planning and putting it all together. I used PlayDoh on top of the custom face mannequin to hold blanks in place. This allowed me to test how they might fit together and where to place the holes so I could get the proper connection points. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729530206532-8EYZTXNFSVMIKT9VX38C/ProgressShots2.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729530217277-4RKWAU8JR3KGT2I2C5YG/ProgressShots3.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner There was a lot of back and forth getting the pieces to fit together and also lay on my actual face correctly. It could be tedious but was very important in getting the end product as correct as possible. Many changes were made and would not have been as easy or even possible without the back and forth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729625000745-9TUHVMX0P007PFEX96VI/ArtistStatement.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729530864295-5NNZE2QSC1U1P9Q2RMP4/PlaydohTesting.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner PlayDoh is one of my favorite planning methods for new designs. If I am trying something brand new. I press the blank into flattened doh and use the stamps to do quick impressions so that I can see if it looks anything like what I would want without wasting a blank. Once I start getting something I like I switch to using the blanks to refine the design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1729530836424-3136Z91IFKOIG45KHY4U/TeethPlanning.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner Planning for the side teeth. I used the shorter ring blanks and ultimately cut them in half. This allowed me to get the most out of these blanks and make them as similar as possible to each side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1730859393822-FEM4QHX20A6OMTD9PRBK/Screen+Shot+2024-10-31+at+6.06.57+PM.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1730859386069-2ALZQTYMI01D5XV5E9CQ/Screen+Shot+2024-10-31+at+6.05.51+PM.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1730859403379-JR581CRMO4YEUW04C2XP/Screen+Shot+2024-10-31+at+6.08.55+PM.png ImpressArt Halloween Stamping Contest Grand Prize Winner https://www.shelbysawyer.com/boom-blast-stix-video daily 0.75 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57530f0e044262fce00f8fa8/1731516033629-F8SGYVBB76V0NS2YA4K4/image-asset.jpeg Boom Blast Stix Video - Boom Blast Stix Game, Funny Reactions Worked to conceptualize, film, and edit this promotional video for an in-house game designed at Big Monster Toys by Gordon Downey and Jeremy Posner.
