Want to have your artwork (or nearly any image for that matter) on a U.S. Postal stamp?
Photo Stamps allows anyone (within certain constraints) to make up and put nearly any image into an official United States stamp! I can already imagine the explosion of artwork that we will begin to see soon adorning and paying for snail mail letters as this service develops and catches on.
This will be hell for stamp collectors to keep up with!
And thanks to AJ for this related Wired article on the subject.
I can already visualize some exhibition somewhere in the future of artist-designed stamps.

A few years ago, I was at an opening for Catriona Fraser's photographs, which are B&W Infrared landscapes of Scotland, when I overheard a young man tell his date: "WOW! I didn't know everything in Scotland was black and white!"
