The Paper Crane
About my design
by The Paper Crane   
Vintage American Stamp collection printer as simulated process on black.
I have tried to make the stamps subject matter corresponds, to where they are on the map.
This was inspired by the pop art of Jasper Johns and other prolific artists of the 50s-60s who's work included much American iconic material such as coca cola, Pepsi, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, The US dollar and the Stars and Stripes.

Once again, Hawaii and Alaska are forgotten. :(
The Paper Crane
   The Paper Crane on Oct 17 '09
I did play around with having Alaska and Hawaii but I wasnt happy with it. Hawaii around the back was a nice touch and I can upload it in the crit for you to see, but I could not get Alaska to look right as it seemed to dilute the overall visual impact (also I did not have any vintage stamps of Alaska!)
Sorry :(
