Digital Serial Art
The faux postage format is one of my favorite ways of
interpreting the multiple color and textural versions of
an image generated by digital means.

Cantharidia is one of the numerous micronations that I have
developed over the years. Among these fantasy nations are
Shambhala Nor, Amphitritonia, Urissakzillia, Amphora,
Undinia, and the Republic of the Moon, most of which have
examples of their stamps on Art Blog/Eric Whollem.

Serial Art became popular in the sixties during the
'Pop Art' movement, when artists like Andy Warhol gave us
multiple images of commonplace objects like the Campbell's
soup can. Many of his portraits were done as serial art.
Serigraphy served well for the color variations in his serial
art, as the silk screen medium readily adjusts to changes
in ink color during the printing process.
Other serial artists include Constantin Brancusi and Josef
Albers. Sculpture as well as painting and printmaking are
mediums that lend themselves to serial imagery.

Below is another sheet of cyberstamps from Cantharidia,
which feature Thetis, the Goddess of the Sea. These stamps
allow me to show varieties of digital serial art. Tonal and
saturation variations are arranged in a faux postage format.
