Pop Culture Postage – These Are The Postage Stamps We Want

Pop Culture Postage - These Are The Postage Stamps We Want
The USPS has been in financial trouble for a long time now, but if they actually made stamps that looked like this, they would make a fortune selling them to nerds like me and you. These images by Clark Orr are posters, postcards and also the subject of a new art exhibit at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles called Pop Culture Postage. Orr turned some of the most iconic films, TV and comics of all-time into amazing looking, though sadly not real stamps. See the rest here.

Postcards From Space

Postcards from Space
No one ever sends me postcards from space, but at least I now feel like they did, thanks to an art show called Postcards from Space, which is being hosted by IAm8Bit in Los Angeles. The exhibit has postcards from fictional, intergalactic destinations. Places that we have all wanted to visit. There are some really great pieces below. The Cybertron one really stands out. It’s nice to see that postcards are still being used in the universe.

Some of the artists that contributed include Marco D’ Alfonso, Nan Lawson, Orioto, Marko Manev, Erich Meyr, Austin James, Concalo Viana, Johnny Yanok, Andrew Kolb, and Cory Schmitz. There are many more. All of them did an outstanding job.

Minimal Trek Is Maximum Fun

Minimal Trek Is Maximum Fun
The original Star Trek TV series was a pop culture phenomenon. Almost everything about it is iconic. In fact, it is amazing that the stars aligned to create such a show that would endure. Now a new Kickstarter campaign is underway in order to create minimal art based on the show.

It is called Minimal Trek, and these minimal posters and postcards are as amazing as the original Star Trek itself. They may be minimal, but they are awesome. They are created by graphic designer Mark Gonyea, who made one for all 79 episodes. He wants to make a 5X7 postcard for each season, an 18X24 poster for each season, and a limited edition 18X24 poster with the images from all three seasons. Hit the link to help fund it.

Postcards From Fictional Locations: Gotham, King’s Landing And More

You know, if they made more postcards like this, people might actually use them like they did in the old days. MyPrint247.co.uk designed these cool postcards for fictional places like Mos Eisley, Frozen’s Arendelle, Gotham City and other locales.

The great art and design makes you wish you could visit these places for real and pick up a few postcards as souvenirs while you are on vacation. I would definitely visit Mos Eisley and Gotham City.

Doctor Who: Postcards in Time and Space

Postcards from the edge…Of time and space. What if you could visit some of Doctor Who’s locations and then send postcards back home to your friends and family? If you could, they would hopefully be as beautiful as these Doctor Who inspired postcards.

These lovely works of art come from the combined forces of Behance users Megan Lara and Harry Gordon. I think I’ll give Skaro a pass and visit Gallifrey and Midnight.
