collate an issue.
On the evening of Dec. 21, 1974 I was on my way to Charles → Chickadel's
apartment to help put together an issue of QUOZ when I was sopped by the SF
Police Dept. and searched on the street. In my coat pocket they found a stapler and
1 ounce of marijuana. They confiscated both and I missed assembling that issue.
I'm sure the stapler is still on some officer's desk.»

How did you get involved with rubber stamps?
Once again, I can trace my interest in rubber stamps to Ray Johnson. He
would often add to his mailings with a stamped expression, usually a one line pun
referring to someone he knew in the art world. These stamps were typeset (almost
always in 12pt. Helvetica) and stamped in red, blue or purple. What I liked about
them was that „stamped“ look – uneven coverage, a little blurry, perfectly imperfect.
After I moved from Levittown, N.Y. to San Francisco, I worked with my
cousin, Bill Gaglione in an art supply store. Across the street was Patrick's Office
Supply store. It was there, that Bill and I had our first rubber stamps made. (The
stamp division at Patrick's was run by Bob Grimes, who years later, would be made
famous by Leavenworth Jackson). In June 1970, I had Patrick's make 3 different
images of clouds I had drawn into rubber stamps. Soon after I drew 2 more, the man
on the moon and the planet Saturn for Hervé Fischer's early anthology of international
stamp art. It was a precursor of an industry yet to come.
In 1979 a friend, Joel Rossman, bought a small vulcanizer and we all started
making stamps like crazy. This collaboration among Joel, Bill and myself led to the
publication of STAMP ART which was a compilation of rubber stamped artwork
mailed to contributors. The legacy of STAMP ART is that it led directly to the
formation of 2 of the world's most successful rubber stamp manufacturers – Gaglione's
Stamp Francisco, and the company I work for, Rossman's Personal Stamp
Exchange.
