The Pneumatic Postal System of Sasquatchia

The mail of Sasquatchia is unique in our modern times as it is based on
delivery of letters and even parcels through pneumatic tubes. These tubes
are not the sort of thing one might find in Western Civilization, but relies
on old fashioned Big Foot ingenuity. The postal clerks of Sasquatchia
use the vast lava tube system that underpins their island home. The larger
tunnels are fine for ease of access to various parts of the country which
serve as postal stations. But the final touches of mail delivery depend on
the exhuberant breath of the clerks who use lung power to force the mail
along those miniature and smooth lava tubes that so conveniently are in
abundance due to the great vulcanism of Sasquatchia's geology.

These matters might be not especially believable to many who might read
this post. But most Big Feet who utilize the computer today may find
respite in the fact that at least one site takes them seriously in their efforts
to modernize and yet achieve a measure of respect for their ancient civilization.

ARTISTAMPS FROM GONDWANALAND/ Early Antique Word Processor Print Master Cinderella Stamps by Eric Whollem/ FAUX POSTAGE FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME/ Philatelic Archaeology/ A Preshistoric Micronational Post Office/ CAVE MAIL/ Featuring the story of Gwog, the first Postmaster General of the Continent of Gondwanaland








Prehistoric Stamps From Twentieth Century Philatelic Archaeology



In truth these stamps were first issued in black and white, printed off
an old word processor. They are among my first attempts at stamp
design. The huge pixels are indicative of 1980's state of the art word
processor graphics programs. The reprinting in 2005 incorporated
hand coloring and collage borders of cut paper finished to size. The
final stamps were gummed by hand and perforated with a die cutter.
1999 saw the inception of my artist stamps. I did not get my first
modern computer until 2009, at which point I began my recent
series of digital art imagery, which, of course, includes artistamps,
most of which are currently issued in cybertsamp format.

See a primitive example of my first efforts at stamp design off my
old word processor here on this Riga Stamps website:

A Short History of the Stamps of Doggonia

The early stamps of Doggonia above, featuring the Dogs of Doggonia,
were gummed and hand perforated with a die cutter. They are thus
different than the Cartographic Centennial issue of 2010, which are
techinically 'cyberstamps,' or stamps issued only in cyberspace.

BELOW IS MY FIRST
DOGGONIAN STAMP
VIDEO


                                 ERIC WHOLLEM



Thus Doggonia has had three stamp issues to date. The map of Doggonia
shows Felinia, a neighboring warlike country. Mowmow is the capital of
Felinia. Also appearing on the Map of Doggonia is the Isle of Meese to
the south, across the Straights of Pup. The Isle of Meese is an independent
principality, which has traditionally been a neutral state in the disputes
between Doggonia and Felinia. The main thing currently under dispute is
the name of the war between these nations. The Doggonians call them the
Kat Wars, while the Felinians call it the Dog Fight. The inhabitants of
Felinia have attempted to erect a Caterwall on the boundaries between
these warring nations. But the Dog Soldiers have been able to easily dig
under the wall especially in the sandy soil near Bonebury Bay.

Notes on the Monetary System of Birdland
WITH A CONCISE EXPLANATION OF BIRD ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION

The stamps above are described in terms intelligible to the humans who
currently dominate cyberspace. Those birds from Birdland reading this
will immediately note that the inscriptions written in pence should have
properly designated in chirrups.

The postage due stamps in the above presentation  were correctly described
in Too Wittas, probably because these stamps are more commonly seen on
mail returned by the Birdland Post Office. The stamps of Birdland proper
are seldom seen in the Outer World. The Outer World is considered to be
a Myth by the Birds. Birds cannot imagine an intelligent society that does
not engage in winged flight. Thus that biped reality common to us is the
subject of the fairy tales of the Birds. 

There is little acceptable to the Birdland Postal Administration among the
postal issues of the human world. The stamps of the Universal Postal
Union are not considered valid for postage within Birdland. Incoming mail
is always heavily taxed by the postal tax stamps seen above in the Postage
Due section.



                                          Birdland stamp video.


The Earl of Egg is currently Postmaster General of Birdland. Any nations
seeking postal recognition by the Earl and his Avian Advisory Committee,
are encouraged to email him via the author of this blog. His enclave in
Cheepia off the southern coast of Birdland is inaccessible online. He is
known to be easily bribed by sesame seeds. So postal administrators be
advised. As I am the Postmaster General of the Amphoran Postal Union
I have been entrusted by the Earl of Egg to make this communication to
the Outer World and the post offices of the most remote reaches of
of the continents beyond the Avian Sea.

Fantasy Stamps from the Continent of Amphora
CINDERELLA STAMPS FROM THE AMPHORAN POST OFFICE

These stamps show images of my Sea Horse Sculptures in clay.
Most of the items shown are from ceramic beads used in necklaces.
A few of the sea horses are larger scultptures for showing on a wall
or near a pool of water.

These stamps are used only by the mermaids who live in Amphora.
Their mermail system operates under the auspices of the Amphoran
Postal Union.

Amphora is the ancient name for the sign of Aquarius. So the land of
Amphora is the continent of the Age of Aquarius.

The Sacred Rock of the Sea Horses

This rock is near the city of Hippocampus in the far north of the land
of Amphora. The photo was taken by Eric Whollem, the creator of
the ceramic sea horse sculpture in the upper left hand corner.

A small cameo of the Queen of Amphora in her fine black hat is to the
upper right. She leads the ceremonies each summer at the site of the
Sacred Rock of the Sea Horses worshipped by the Mermaids of
Amphora.

This rock may have been carved by the wash of the waves of the sea
on  the limestone rocks of the Amphoran coast. But the mermaids all
believe that it was carved by Voltumna, the God of the Sea Horses.
