I have been enjoying the Witch Hat Atelier anime, based on artist Kamome Shirahama’s manga. I found an image of Brushbuddy standing on a hanging ornament in The Art of Witch Hat Atelier, and used that as a reference to create this printable monochrome version.

Even with a #11 craft knife, the eyes were challenging. Each eye is just two millimeters across. The rest was done with the 1mm Flexcut gouge.

The green ink (Ranger Wendy Vecchi Archival stamp pad) bleeds a lot on the Fabriano printmaking paper I have been using with the eraser stamps. This print is on standard Bristol.

A couple of white rectangles of paper are imprinted with an image of long fuzzy cartoon creature wrapped around a cord suspending a ball with a four-pointed star. The image is reversed out of the ink making up the print. There is one print in an avocado green and another in black. The carved white eraser (stained with green ink) rests face-up on the corner of the green print. The background is crinkled purple paper (momigami).

There is a 17 second Brushbuddy stamp impression-making video on YouTube.

The stamp stands on one small edge on a surface of blue handmade paper. In front of the stamp is a rectangular piece of white paper that has been imprinted with the design in black.

A rectangular piece of white paper imprinted with an anthropomorphized, cartoonish moth character with five four-pointed stars in various sizes above its head. The wings look like a cloak around a very simple body. The face is white with two black spots for eyes. There are feathered antennae atop the head. The blocky white carved eraser that made the impression is laying face-up on the upper left corner of the print. Both are on a background of deep blue paper with a single metallic silver leaf inclusion.

A rectangular piece of white paper in landscape format is imprinted in black with and angled view of an old-style home computer joystick. The cord from the joystick coils irregularly away from the joystick, then turns into a rectangular border around the print. The carved eraser that made the print it face-up on the upper right corner of the print. Both are sitting on a surface of bright red paper.
