Poster Stamps For Today

NEW DESIGNS BY ERIC WHOLLEM

Poster stamps are not a forgotten art form. As long as there

are graphic artists and as long as there are stamps, we will see

poster stamps. The classic or 'vintage' editions in this genre are highly

sought by collectors.

See some examples of vintage poster stamps on this site:

A Poster Stamp for the Twenty-First Century

Although the classic period of poster stamps is over, the

digital medium of today provides the artist with the means

to create numerous color and textural variations for his

designs.

The late nineteenth and early twentieth century saw a vast

array of brilliant graphic design in the stamp medium--

especially in the genre of poster stamps.

SELVAGE AND WINGS

Selvage is one general name for the margins of a stamp

sheet. Some collectors pay attention to selvage typologies,

and collect stamps with 'wings.'

'Wings' is a philatelic term for such selvage when left in

conjunction with a stamp.

Poster Stamps for Art Blog/Eric Whollem

The 'Poster Stamp' is a specialized genre of cinderella stamp.

It is not by any means a form of 'faux postage,' but a practical

form of stamp that fills an authentic role in the physical world:

an advertisement for the artist.

The sculpture depicted in the image above was painted with

natural earth paints that I made myself from earth pigments

gathered in nature. In this I have followed the ancient traditions

of mankind. . . using mineral colors.

I was greatly influenced in this manufacture of natural paints

by my interaction with the Concow Maidu Indians of Northern

California. This group of Native Americans has utilized earth

pigments for body paint for many centuries.

The modern Maidu artist, Frank Day, is well known for his

use of earth paints to make his own contemporary visionary

paintings depicting aspects of Maidu culture.

Not only have I used my own earth paints to create my own

paintings, but also to colorize my ceramic sculptures, as in the

case of 'Moera,' seen on the poster stamp shown here.
