For the “Stamp Bugs” project, I illustrated a charming series of insects designed to resemble vintage postage stamps. Drawing inspiration from mid-century printmaking and botanical illustrations, I combined intricate hand-drawn details with bold, graphic shapes to create a nostalgic yet fresh aesthetic. Using a muted, earthy color palette, I aimed to evoke the timeless appeal of classic stamps while celebrating the fascinating diversity of the insect world in a playful and engaging way.
Together with Princeton Architectural Press I created a stamp set containing 25 individual stamps. Each stamp is a simple bold shape, with which you can create countless bugs.
“Bumblebees, dragonflies, fireflies, ladybugs, spiders! This sturdy matchbox-style box contains twenty-five wood-backed rubber stamps in an assortment of buggy shapes and textures. A veritable kit of bug parts---heads, bodies, antennae, legs---Stamp Bugs contains everything you need to create your favorite insects or invent new ones! The combinations are infinite.”
