The Smithsonian National Postage Museum have an amazing collection of Beer Stamps.
From 1866 to 1955, every keg of beer leaving an American brewery was required by Internal Revenue Law to include a Federal beer stamp pasted over the keg’s bung. Generally, beer stamps tend to be very scarce, as they were legally required to be destroyed at the time the keg was tapped, making this book a valuable historical record of an important aspect of brewing history.

Royal Mail just released a series of stamps celebrating ‘The Genius of Gerry Anderson’, the mind behind popular marionette shows such as Thunderbirds, Captains Scarlett, and Stingray.
Two sets have been made, one focusing on the main characters behind each of the shows, and the other counts down each of the five Thunderbird craft.

RSA Stamps
RSA stamp design brief with the subject of ‘celebrating biodiversity’. I produced photographic stamps of endangered animals and each was textured to feel like the animals’ skin using a variety of techniques like embossing and flocking.
