Ware Usps

Graphic artist Chris Ware has created a set of 20 stamps for the US Postal Service’s 250th anniversary in his iconic style.

The pane of 20 interconnected stamps show a bird’s-eye view of a mail carrier’s route through a bustling town. Laid out in 4 rows of 5, the stamps depict the story through the 4 seasons from top-left to bottom-right. The artwork also contains numerous icons representing the Postal Service.

The stamps will be available in July but you can pre-order them now from the USPS Store. (thx, caroline)
