About Us

JudiKins, Inc. manufactures rubber stamps and accessories, and distributes selected fine art supplies. A leader in the world of art rubber stamping, JudiKins has a reputation for innovative designs, techniques and accessories. In 1988, Judi Watanabe (soon to be Bostick), decided after six years of college and three months working at a job she was not good at, it was time to do a little "soul-searching" and started a calligraphy service hand addressing wedding invitations.

She was engaged to Rob Bostick, a marine biologist at USC's Marine Institute and a manager of the research labs and special projects for the university. Rob, who was always industrious, also owned and operated two small businesses: collecting marine specimens for aquariums and educational purposes and commercial photography. Judi helped Rob during the lulls in her business. When she found she was helping Rob more than working on calligraphy she attempted to improve her portfolio, by taking a calligraphy class. One of the class projects was carving rubber stamps and Judi was addicted. After several weeks of carving wonderful eraser stamps, in her pajamas (all day long) and still no calligraphy sales, Rob felt a change of direction in Judi's entrepreneurial endeavors was necessary.

Over the course of the last two decades, JudiKins, Inc. has recruited an extremely talented, hard-working team of artists and crafts people who strive to produce thousands of high quality, stamps and accessories distributed world-wide.
