Mothstralian Stamps Redux

These elusive night creatures appeared on the very first Republic of Mothstralia Postage stamps in 2013. Back by popular demand in a series of newly-commissioned philatelic designs, they are precursors to the eagerly anticipated 2015 Moth Woman Vigilante stamps due for issue during the coming weeks.


To create this mail art, my artwork was combined with the following iPad apps: Face on Stamp, Squareready and Strip Design.
