WHERE: American Stamp Dealers Association Winter Postage Stamp Show at the War Memorial Auditorium, 800 NE 8th ST, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
BACKGROUND
For more than half a century, U.S. stamps have depicted the American flag in vivid red, white, and blue. This eye-catching new issuance continues that tradition with a striking graphic design of a flag with two crisp folds.
Kit Hinrichs of San Francisco, who created the digital illustration for this stamp, is the founder and director of an educational foundation devoted to the American flag. Because the foundation has a collection of more than 5,000 items, Hinrichs especially is aware of the countless ways the flag has been interpreted in art.
For this stamp, Hinrichs created a design that shows a flag with a crisp edge and a contemporary look, with a shadow on the small, visible portion of the back to suggest a sense of depth.
