i had another nostalgic look through my old postage stamp sketches this week as TNT Post contacted me because they want to add my stamp (dating back to 2008) to their online interactive exhibition iconen van de post in the near future, also including the preliminary design stuff…
it takes a while to figure out how the site works but there’s plenty of interesting old stuff to be found in there, if you are patient enough: like this funky one from the 70’s
the image in the middle is a quote from spanish writer & poet ‘cervantes’ which says: ‘the pen is the soul’s tongue’ which i liked because my pen drawing reminded me of a tongue somehow, which if i remember correctly is precisely why the client rejected it!
