It's a shame that so many stamps were destroyed to create the artwork. I like what he is able to create but I would have preferred that he solicited faulty stamps from collectors.
jhlovell- which ones do you need? I have a few! Made 2 pretty pages out of them myself, not including the several already assembled before I owned them :)
Post Pop Art Man http://www.thepostpopartman.co.uk./ On the site you can click on the image for a zoomed-in view of how he used the stamp's colours and also it seems, the cancels to create the work. And to see which stamps you are missing! Argh, I just noticed he cut stamps to get the shadings in his picture correct.
Here is an image of an item that sold on ebay a month ago for 385 pounds. Someone in the 1840s thought it would be a good idea to cover this box with over 200 stamps including penny blacks and reds. I bet the descendants of the artist wish he hadn't used penny blacks on the box but instead started a stamp collection with them.
