Stamp.Y Stamps Your Photos on Stuff Because Rubber Stamps Are Cool… Right?

Shane McGlaun — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 16:22:26 +0000

I was taking some pictures just the other day and thought to myself it would really rock if I could just stamp these photos all over stuff. I always thought the Polaroid instant camera my grandma had should really just give you a monotone red, smudgy, ink stamp.

Created by Jinhee Kim, this thing is called Stamp.y and it’s clearly a concept – and a strange one at that. You would use the special Stamp.y-enabled camera to snap a picture of someone and then the camera would turn that into a digital pixel stamp. Exactly why you would want your digital pictures to be a stamp escapes me right now. Kids would like it though and you could totally stamp a pic of some really gross hairy dude on someone as a prank, which would honestly get my to buy this thing no questions asked if it were real.

Ol’ Stamp.y even has a handle like a normal stamp to let you stamp with a better grip. Important things like exactly how the picture is turned into something you can ink is unknown. Strange concept, but it might be fun.

This here’s a replica of a 26th century stamp used by teachers – who are of course robots – to grade their students’ exams. Because in the 26th century, there is a grade higher than A+: Master Chief.

The Master Chief rubber stamp was made by Master Carver/futurist/Crafster member astrangeone.

Emoticon Rubber Stamp: Otaku Approved

Lambert Varias — Tue, 18 May 2010 12:38:36 +0000

Designed by Ginguni for Japanese brand gung, this handmade rubber stamp will let you mass-produce endearing (at first, and then they’re just freaking annoying) emoticons. We’re not talking about simple smileys and sad faces here – this rubber stamp is for hardcore emoticon enthusiasts. It can stamp Japanese-style emoticons of up to 7 characters. Kawaii, I guess.

You can even create a brand-new expression, because the stamp allows you to combine characters in over 2,000 ways. Just how many expressions are there anyway?

You can pre-order the emoticon rubber stamp from gung or from caina for ¥2,700 (approx. $29 (USD)). Orders will ship starting May 21. I’m not sure if they’ll ship it outside Japan though. ( T _ T )

All Your Base Are Belong to This Rubber Stamp

For those of you out there who never played the 1989 Japanese game Zero Wing, “All your base are belong to us” might not mean anything (not like it made much sense even if you did play it).

Then again, the awesomely bad Engrish phrase has permeated geek culture for quite some time now, so if you’re not familiar with it by now, you’ve been living under a rock for the last 7 years. Now you can use the phrase to stake your claim on anything that’ll hold ink with this fun rubber stamp.

Designed with an appropriately retro bitmap typeface, the stamp was created by Etsy artist Terbearco, hidden between the artist’s stamps of bunny rabbits and birdies. (Also found in the artist’s collection, the F.U. stamp, perfect for making those cute animals profane).
