Night & Day Postage Stamp Illustration

Dream Client: USPS ? I've decided to manifest my dream clients by vocalizing the projects I desire most. In addition, I intend to create examples of what that collaboration might look like if given the opportunity. ?? The chance to create an official postage stamp is at the top of my bucket list! ?? My interest in stamps leads all the way back to a movie from 1988 called Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller. I know, super random! Haha. The kids in that movie accidentally discover a way to shrink themselves and travel the globe on postage stamps. It's a little cheesy but really fun. The stamps were magnified in a lot of scenes so you could see how they incorporated the kids, but I was more interested in the artwork! I was in awe of how detailed the work could be for such a small amount of space. And the variety! There were so many different styles. It's no wonder why people collect them. So one day I hope to have a legit stamp of my own. Perhaps that little piece of postage might even be added to a stamp collector's private collection. What an honor that would be. Indeed. If you know somebody who knows somebody, let 'em know. ??
