Artneko?

[lehcarlies]

Hi!

This is my first post--I apologize if it's in the wrong spot!


I came across Artneko stamps through youtube videos, and I really like their designs. I went to their website and there are no stamps currently listed in their catalogue.


Through some research, I was able to find out that they were supposed to migrate to a new website in September, but apparently that hasn't happened yet.


Can anyone provide me with more info? Are they going to come back?


If not, is there somewhere I can find them online? I've tried Ebay and Etsy so far, with no luck. If they're not coming back, what companies/stores would you recommend for stamps that have the same sort of overall aesthetic as artneko? Not necessarily "Asian-themed" stamps, but classic/timeless and versatile designs?


Thanks in advance!

They had a major problem when trying to migrate the stock list to the new website :-(. I haven't heard anything in a while, though I do keep checking the site. Is there a contact email? Perhaps you could enquire directly from Annette.

Hanko Design used to have a very wide range of Asian stamps but they don't seem to have nearly as much as they used to.

Our own Holly Brown was DT coordinator for Art Neko when they announced the web site move - if there's no contact e-mail published for Annette maybe try sending Holly a pm to see whether she's heard anything. You can find her profile here and just chose "send a private message" from the drop down near top left.

You might also enjoy a look through the Beeswax Stamps offering - there's an Asian section (Stamp Catalog > Themed Collections > Asian) and plenty of other things that I'd put in the timeless/classic category. I have several Beeswax stamps (their Oak Branch is one of my all-time favourite stamps!) and they're nicely etched red rubber. I tend to get rubber only but they offer cling and wood mount options too if you prefer those.

Happy hunting!

Hi folks! Dina alerted me to this thread - thank you so much, Dina!

Yes, what Sabrina said is correct. They are still working to restore their stamp catalog but it is a time-consuming process involving thousands of stamps.


You can try contacting them at the following address:

Thanks for the info--I can totally be patient and wait until they're up and running; I was just worried they weren't coming back!

Thank you all SO much for all your help!
