Postage Stamp Paintings by Molly Rausch
“Each stamp painting begins with an actual postage stamp that is glued down to the paper. Then Rausch paints around the stamp, extending the scene, with watercolor and gouache. As a result, the paintings are quite small – usually around 3 inches tall. Everything is done freehand with a brush; she does not use pens or pencils. She does not paint on the stamp itself. And she does not research the subject, so the extension is completely invented and should not be tested for accuracy.”

Recognition Outside of Tumblr
When I logged in my Twitter 2 days ago I was surprised to find out that my Weeknd cover’s was featured on Jason Soy’s TrendHunter. I understand it’s not some big designer site but I felt that it was a step in the right direction for me, which is getting recognition outside of tumblr and getting my name out there. At first I thought it was just some slideshow of my covers but there was a description. It felt so good to read, like I was in an newspaper article. I was so excited, it perfectly described what I wanted to do for these covers. This definitely motivates me to do more and stop being so lazy with designing.
If you want, you can read it here. Also check out Jason’s TrendHunter in the link above.
