Art of the Stamp
Last night when I was in DC I saw the poster for “Trailblazers & Trendsetters: art of the stamp” outside the National Postal Museum (literally across the street from Union Station). Maybe it’s just me (my best friend from high school who is now a lawyer-type stared at me strangely with my enthusiasm about it), but I’m really excited to go back and check it out when the museum is open. Nothing makes me happier than a piece of snail mail with a real stamp on it. Exhibit runs through June 2.
At one point growing up I aspired to design a postage stamp (another one of those inklings that I wanted to be a designer). The irony is that at stamps.com, now you can!

Ooh, did you know they just released some Eames stamps? Finally, stamps for design geeks!

Ohh is right. No I had not heard about those stamps! My brother and I fight regularly about who is going to inherit my parent’s eames chair. it was always my favorite as a kid :)
