I love using stamps in my art. I love the art in Griffin & Sabine. I love mysterious letters and packages. I love the post-ness of postcard art. However, I tend to try to fit the stamps on at the end. They're not quite an afterthought, but I rarely have a plan other than "dump out all my stamps and hope something works."
For this postcard, I chose a stamp first. I traced roughly where I wanted to stamp to go, and then started building my composition accordingly.
That I might explore a new style, I turned again to Instagram for some inspirational images.
Armed with some aesthetic guidance, I went to work.
Boom! I finally added the Qatar stamp. The composition still felt a little unbalanced, so I also added the other kind of stamp.
