Hi y'all, I thought peeps would be interested to learn about a British artist named Richard Hoffman who defaces and graffiti genuine stamps. He can be found under The Subversive Post Office online, so thought I would share some of his work. Jess    |

Some really nice examples. But not really a new idea. I have some defaced stamps. I am sure many others have. |

Our postmen have been doing this for ages although perhaps more crudely |

I'm waiting for all those people who think it boring or juvenile to create something more artistic using stamps. |

I think it's fun and cool! I suspect that persons not liking this guy's work probably also didn't like the Postal Service stamps for Harry Potter and the Simpsons either. |

It looks like something bored children would do. My first impression too. |

Bored children produce Jackson Pollack lookalikes. This takes a certain amount of skill. |

Skill of course does not imply success. If only...
I hope they didn't paint over any good varieties on those stamps. Not that it would matter too much on those, as they appear common.
I can't say that I'm impressed with this, or Pollack. I prefer Impressionists, or earlier.

"I prefer Impressionists, or earlier". So do I, but a few of these are cute. |

Another "art" scam. Some people with a lot of money will spend it on anything. |
