    I don't know the answers to any of these questions, just I do recollect reading that someone on WC had had their artwork featured on a postage. Unfortunately, I don't call up who it was. Perhaps if you asked the same questions in the Buffet, you lot might hit a bigger audience and notice the creative person.

    Well, that's like hypnotising chickens.

    U South Postal stamp design

    Each year the The states Mail service receives over 40,000 requests for new subjects to appear on postage stamps. From those requested, approximately 30 subjects are chosen, utilizing an average of 100 designs. For example, one subject matter may be depicted on four stamps. The final option of subjects is made by the Citizens' Postage Advisory Commission/CSAC. Subjects are selected 3 years in advance of issuance.

    The total commission for a completed stamp design or illustration is $3000. The artist is given $yard upon signing an agreement for concepts. If the piece of work is canonical, the creative person receives an additional $2000 for the concluding fine art. The original artwork becomes the possession of the Postal Museum.

    When approved, the subjects are assigned to the Postal Service Stamp Pattern staff. The design staff works with five highly qualified, professional fine art directors in developing the designs.

    The United states Mail service continually searches for new and artistic talent to utilize in its pattern program. New artists are deputed each year. Creating stamp designs is not an easy job. Information technology requires unique talent, mode and bailiwick to work within the parameters required to create art to be reproduced on such a small calibration.

    The United states Mail service does not grant interviews. If you think you encounter the requirements as a professional designer, illustrator or lensman and wish to be considered for a postage design assignment, the guidelines are as follows:

    · All works must exist submitted in print form (tear sheets, color copies, etc) that will be retained by the US Mail service. They will be made available to art directors in the event a work is approved. Original art or slides will not be accepted.
    · Practise not submit artwork to be considered as stamp subjects to be issued past the The states Postal Service. Unsolicited designs volition automatically be returned without review.
    · All piece of work not considered acceptable by the staff will be returned.
    The US Postal Service volition contact you lot if they are interested in commissioning your service. The Us Mail service will not:

    Acknowledge receipt of samples by letter or phone
    Offering reason for rejection of submission.
    To receive a guideline for becoming a designer (i of the 500 requested annually), send to Stamp Pattern, Stamp Development, Room 4474E, U.s. Postal Service, 475 Fifty'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 20260-2437
