.post.office.stamp.designs.

one of the illustration class projects we did last year was for the south african post office..we received a list themes, and i chose the year of biodiversity..for this specific theme, we had to design four stamps and a commemorative envelope..at the end of the project, all of the students submitted their designs to the post office, and the best of each theme will be produced and be available in 2011..for these illustrations i used oil paint to do mono-prints for the backgrounds, and water-paint for the main motives, reworked with pen and ink..
