Description:
In March, the U.S. Postal Service will debut its latest collection of artistic stamps — this time, celebrating the “Art of the Skateboard.” Ushering in several vibrant designs, the USPS pictures the work of four skaters-turned-artists on photographs of skateboards, curated by art director Antonio Alcalá.
In a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of 20 stamps, the Postal Service spotlights a series of inventive works. From Alaska, Crystal Worl articulated her Tlingit/Athabascan heritage with a blue-indigo salmon graphic, while William James Taylor Junior/Core222, a self-taught Virginia artist, concocted a red-and-orange abstract design. Arizone’s Di’Orr Greenwood celebrated her Navajo roots with a bright palette depicting eagle feathers, as well as the sun’s rising and setting tones; and lastly, Columbia-born, Washington, D.C.-bred muralist Federico “MasPaz” Frum created a stylistic jaguar.
