Fauvist Cyberstamps by Eric Whollem

The term 'cyberstamp' is variously used. The purist would define a

cyberstamp as a digital image of the faux postage or cinderella genre,

presenting the design of a stamp not yet issued on paper with perforations.

Thus the perforations seen in such a cyberstamp image are ones that are

computer generated--a digital fantasy.

However one sees the term 'cyberstamp' more loosely used as well,

indicating merely that the stamps seen on a webpage online are

just that: stamps seen on the computer screen. These could be actual

postage stamps issued by countries for postal use, as well as artist stamps

created by individual artists.

FIGURATIVE ABSTRACTION

During the last year or so I have explored the potentials of serial

art as rendered by digital means. The minisheet of cyberstamps

depicted above is an example of the Fauvist colorization made

possible by computer graphics programs. The original drawing

was executed in black inks, enhanced by mixed media, including

metallic ink colors.

Stamps From Cantharidia

These stamps are denominated in the old fashioned British 'tuppence,'

which means 'two cents.'  I have taken the artistic liberty of making

Cantharidia a stamp issuing micronation based on a Brittanic model.

Some of the stamps of Cantharidia are earmarked with denominations

of a shilling, which is designated by '1/-', etc.
