Fauxstage Stamp Sheet
8 1/2" x 11" Color laser printed on Tromark dry gummed paper Sheet detail, shown prior to perforating Inspired by John Scalzi's reading of his short story Grizzly Bear Conflict Manager while on-board JoCo Cruise 2022. John is an award winning science fiction author and one of the most popular and successful science fiction authors of his generation. |
We sent John a t-shirt with this design on it and on May 14, 2022 he tweeted this picture of himself wearing the shirt. The shirt was produced on demand by Zazzle from the same artwork used to print the stamps. |
While preparing these stamps for distribution, I noticed that I had used USPS stamps with a tiger on them for real postage. Once there was a tiger and a bear on the envelope, there was nothing for it but to stop and produce a lion stamp to complete the (slightly obscure) pop culture reference. I'm not sure if this counts a rebus or just a random bit of visual fun. |
