  1. First time seeing the first postage stamp, called the "Penny Black"

    I couldn't help seeing
    "MonepennyH"

    Does anybody else see that and think of the character "Miss Moneypenny" in James Bond?

    Nothing on the Internet backs this up, mind you. Wikipedia says "Her name originated from an unfinished novel by Fleming's older brother, Peter Fleming, who abandoned the project after writing 30,000 words."

    Still, who's to say that Fleming's brother didn't draw inspiration from the first stamp?

    (The M and H designate the row and column on the printed sheet of stamps.)

  3. My Fremantle hotel has a big print of this postage stamp on a corridor wall. Which is... fine, I guess?

  7. Mistodon: Why has AdeptApril drawn a #PostageStamp in #ANSIart? Is it national philately day? Not quite: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" isn't just paraphrased in Laurie Anderson's "O Superman", this phrase (derived from Herodotus describing the courier service of the Persian Empire under Xerxes I) is carved into New York City's James A. Farley Post Office, which opened in 1914 on this day.

  10. So Auspost had a sale on their "MyPost" custom stamps recently and I decided to go ahead and throw some art on there :) I'll be using these stamps on my outgoing mail in January. A fun start to the new year! Hopefully the people who receive these will notice and get a kick out of 'em!

  13. Elizabeth in Canada, 1957

    A new collage I created for a #SpecialAgentCollageCollective mission. This mission is called Philatelic: Macroscale. Mission success is a collage that’s 7” or 18cm at its longest side and that begins with a postage stamp.

    We did microscale earlier; collage on postage stamps!

  15. I just got the recent “Waterfalls" postage stamps, but I’m out of layers on my custom Google map. I like to send postcards with stamps that relate to where I'm posting from, so I use this map when traveling.

    I've only just discovered that I can add custom columns, so I'll probably end up using that instead of layer-per-series, but I can't seem to reorder or rename columns, so will have to get this right the first time. (Maybe export/import will help rename/reorder.) #USPS #PostageStamp

  17. “(#Banksy’s) mural depicts a man resembling Russian President Vladimir #Putin being flipped during a judo match with a young boy.

    The original art is on a house that was devastated by Russian shelling in the town of Borodyanka, near the capital #Kyiv.

    A phrase with an abbreviated expletive addressing (Putin) has been added to the bottom left corner of the stamps.

    Mr. Putin is a judo black belt and an admirer of the martial art.”
