Detailed Description

It is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp(s), please check with me before you bid or place the order.

This set of eight Mint Stamps, is presented in four se-tenant strips and features the official Rugby World Cup 2015 logo. The illustrations were created on A4 canvases, with several painted layers per image, which were then combined digitally. The foregrounds offer fine detail and contrast; while the textured backgrounds have a more primitive feel, with thumbprints to suggest faces in the crowd.
