You do not stamp art work with inkan or hanko. There are other stamps for it (gagouin would be one example), usually carved in seal script. If you stamp your art with inkan, it will look like an orchid with lice.

The easiest way is to carve it out of a large eraser.

You could not be more wrong. Carving a seal requires a lot of knowledge. You can carve them yourself, given that you have a skill in calligraphy and are manually dexterous, knowing what you are doing. It is like calligraphy in wood. Two skills in one. You could order one, too, it costs between 100-300 bucks.
