New Handcarved Stamps
Carving letter and number stamps has been on my mental project list for years, and an inspirational Instagram post finally pushed me over the edge. I was able to use some leftover pieces of carving materials as well as some erasers I had collected over the years.

2400 Motel
The 2400 Motel is important for its historical, formal, aesthetic and cultural values, most particularly for being a prominent marker of the evolution of Kingsway following the Second World War. One of the premier motor court addresses following its construction in the years immediately following the Second World War, the 2400 Motel is the sole remaining record of Kingsway assuming the key role in providing up-to-date car-oriented accommodation for North Americans traveling to Vancouver. The 2400 is a marker of the coming-of-age of Kingsway as the northern terminus of the Pacific Highway, which linked Vancouver via the Pattullo Bridge and the King George Highway to the American highway system south to Mexico. The Motel is a local remnant of the continent-wide infrastructure serving the North American romance for the road trip, providing guests with a familiar suburban home-away-from home.
The motel has been used for many films and series, including X-files, Bates Motel, Super Natural, and Motive.
