The Portland Stamp Company The Portland Stamp Company

Box set No. 31-40

The Artist Series is an ongoing collaboration with invited designers, artists, and writers who create original work for an unusual form: the poster stamp.

We started this as an experiment — to not only collaborate with people whose work we admire, but to also push ourselves to make things we wouldn’t otherwise have tried.

As the series continued to grow and evolve – and as individual stamps began to sell out, we decided to box our last remaining sheets into sets of ten.

This set contains the following sheets:

No. 31: Helen Hancocks (sold out)
No. 32: Alyn Smith
No. 33: James Terman
No. 34: Maggiemagoo
No. 35: Michael Wertz
No. 36: Michael Shea
No. 37: Vanessa Renwick
No. 38: Deth P. Sun (sold out)
No. 39: Lydia Makepeace
No. 40: Claire Colin

For each stamp, we conduct a brief interview with the artist. Those are collected in print for the first time in the form of an exclusive, signed, full-color 36-page info book about each stamp in the collection. Packaged in an archival keepsake box.

We hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed making them!
