Stamps & Great Design


I've never been a stamp nerd, or really ever had any interest in stamps at all, but that is about to change. This June the United States Postal Service issued the Charles and Ray Eames Commemorative Stamps. While I may never be able to own a piece of their furniture, I will get myself to a postoffice and buy a sheet of their stamps.


Really though, how come there aren't more stamps that feature truly great design? Who wants cartoon characters, woodland ducks and cliche felines? A stamp is such a small little item that could bring someone a little joy when they go to the mailbox.
